Original Nintendo NES Classic Mini Edition 2016 vs 2018 vs Fake

[@michaelbrekke6449]

Also, the controller screws on the ports of the real controllers use a proprietary tri tipped screw and the fakes use a regular Philips.

[@jl6075]

True

[@joestar222]

Very helpful 👍🏽

[@kbramlett6877]

When you were showing the backside of the controller plug, the fake was not only missing the required CE amongst other things, but it used Phillips head screws and not tri-wing.

[@felinioaluminio7955]

This is so sad. I've been looking for a NES CLASSIC MINI and a SNES CLASSIC MINI for a long time.And there are so many fakes that look so similar to the originals that I dont even know what to do.The worst thing is that when you find a original one it's so expensive, beyond the 200 and 300 dollars.I guess I'll never have the original ones 😢

[@foodmusttravel61]

@@alegreviews, do you know where to buy authentic SNES console?

[@ultimatespidybawlz2198]

Got an authentic nes classic for only 160

[@toejamisnot5425]

I guess I am really lucky for a discount for a real nes mini for 150 bucks

[@GuardianAngel..]

I have 10 Authentic NES Classics but they are all Modded.

[@alegreviews]

Cool. There is a to remove hakchi or/and remodify it if you need

[@reallyretro]

I have the 2018 edition of this console. Thank you for this informative info!

[@alegreviews]

I am glad to help

[@marcopearr]

something I noticed that nobody pointed out in every fake comparison. the cardboard ridges of the box are always horizontal on the fakes.

[@cuteangel5435]

2016 and Fake are really hard to tell by box, only when You check inside.

[@sc_hdz]

We need a ps1 classic fake vs original! Thanks for your videos

[@alegreviews]

thank You for the request. To be honest with You - I have not seen fake PS1, also haven't seen fake Sega mini or TurbografX-16.

[@pochasgames2713]

Thank you very much buddy, I just got my Mini Nes and this video help me a lot. Everything is okay in my system 🙏🏻🇨🇴🇨🇦🔥🎮

[@alegreviews]

You are probably luckier than most !!! Congratulations !!! Enjoy !!!

[@TheSaddi81]

Good video. Its sad but a fact, there are more Fakes online to find than authentic ones. Only positive thing about that is that the authentic ones are getting very valuable for collectors in the upcoming years.

[@stafonvoncamron]

You can tell the fake ones online by the price. A real one runs you $200 a fake one runs for $30.

[@alegreviews]

Some people try to sell fakes for 100-150. And you can sometimes see people selling original around that price.

[@ParanoidThalyyMVS]

If you're paying more than 100usd for a real one you're paying too much

[@alegreviews]

@Thalyy36 impossible to find in new condition for below $100. Used ones - possible

[@ParanoidThalyyMVS]

@@alegreviews Brand new yeah, but you can find used ones in a great condition for that price.

[@alegreviews]

Yes, used ones possible

[@julianayan-egirl457]

No matter how close the box is, you can tell almost immediately when you turn on the console.

[@alegreviews]

[@AdamDIY]

Fake box has horizontal corrugation and the real has vertical.

[@maxg6321]

Does the 2018 hdmi cable have the nintendo logo on it ?

[@alegreviews]

yes, NES 2016, 2018 and SNES Classics have Nintendo logo on one of the 4 sides of the HDMI cord

[@maxg6321]

@@alegreviews thank you

[@peekaboooooooo]

What was the paper the 2018 version didn't have that the 2016 did?

[@alegreviews]

some Nintendo paper with a code, maybe 5$ coupon for Nintendo shop or something like that.

[@davidcortes9685]

oh my god.... the fake one sounds like a dying goat

[@ultimatespidybawlz2198]

I would always ask someone on eBay when there selling the product to provide more pictures as proof and such as that

[@alegreviews]

also confirm with sellers that pictures are theirs. Some sellers use stock pictures or just copy them from someone

[@MegaRayland]

One thing not mentioned, but your fake one had a much longer controller cable when the original (16 or 18) were notorious for how short the controller cables were.

[@alegreviews]

Yes. That’s the only thing that the fake one is better with. Fakes however don’t won’t with wireless ones

[@MusicVidsLife]

I just got a knock off version on eBay they put the right pictures of the cords but then when I get it it's not the same cords And the menu doesn't change the language or there's no legal statement or QR Code

[@alegreviews]

I recently saw a fake with all that. But you still see it is fake. Chevk with sellers if they use their own pictures

[@KevinWuttunee-z7b]

How do I access all the other games on the system ?

[@alegreviews]

it only comes with 30. Press Reset button to save game progress and get to main game selection

[@TomboyGamerGal]

My dad ordered the NES Mini (PAL version) on Amazon for me in 2018 as a Christmas gift and I was lucky that it was not a counterfeit.

[@alegreviews]

there were more original online back in 2018, now it gets harder and harder to get

[@TomboyGamerGal]

@@SlSU.0 no, you may buy one relatively cheap locally on offer up if you find a deal and live in a big city. This way you can also inspect it personally

[@zakrstcasniisloboduz]

Hi folks. May I ask what is the reason not to buu this fake ones? I never had any,played a little as a kid,and got an idea to get one to my son. I am looking and online stores and see that they sell suppously original for 200-300 bucks,and the fake ones for 30-40$. Again,whats the problems with fake version? Cheers!

[@alegreviews]

Fakes are trash and gonna break quickly

[@MusicVidsLife]

What's better the 2016 or the 2018 model

[@alegreviews]

Almost same. 2018 Edition has more powerful cord and power adapter so they can be used for hacking it and support a flash drive with more games. If you not going to hack - same

[@MusicVidsLife]

@@alegreviews thanks for the info

[@HotOneRecordz]

Can the fake be modded?

[@alegreviews]

no

[@ibethatgoldfishmf]

I got the same fake

[@alegreviews]

I feel sorry for you. Try to return to the seller, if you still can

[@ultimatespidybawlz2198]

The fake ones menu music is messed up

[@alegreviews]

yes, this is very common among fakes.

[@richardn5385]

Didn't you notice that the fake has 5 games displayed in the game select menu? The real one has only 4..... The fake also had a full screen when you played Galaga

[@alegreviews]

I missed several things. Some other fakes have some things closer to original but some other different.

[@9ALiTY]

I bet the companies that make these watch these vids to improve the products

[@alegreviews]

No, they are lazy. I’ve seen one fake with completely wrong shape power adapter on which they stick a Nintendo logo on the side. That’s all their improvements

[@JOHNXTOPS]

hello can you pass me the link of the fake console.

[@alegreviews]

I do not sell those. There are plenty on ebay, no reason to buy a fake when You can buy an original used around the same price on ebay.

[@JOHNXTOPS]

@@alegreviews is that I already have the original and I do not want to remove it from the shit because I have it as a collection

[@alegreviews]

@@JOHNXTOPS I would suggest then to keep new original in tact for collection/reselling later. And for playing yourself - buy a used original on ebay, you can easily find for below $100 without box.

@darthputinsidious9282 I’ve seen one of those, it changed to crazy list menu and wasn’t working well. Fakes also use garbage materials, even such things as wiring, they break down quickly. You can buy a used original NES for like $80 and do proper modding with saving and everything. There is no reason to buy a fake. Unless you got it as a gift or bought a while ago and too late to return. Or it was like $20. Chinese probably sell them wholesale for like $10
