Powkiddy X21 "7 inch" Handheld Emulation Nightmare 💩

[@kocokan]

The old android game consoles were looking like this

[@jameslocke1416]

A couple of years ago, this would have been fine. But everybody else has raised their standards, and PowKiddy should be keeping up.

[@frankvangod]

Exactly...

[@robinjansen2880]

Finally a powkiddy device with a normal d-pad.. But now it has crap emulation

Mini USB is mechanically still superior to Micro... yet, altering your design to make use of USB-C wouldn't be hard. But hell, then Wicked wouldn't have something to rant about from the get go 😆

[@Indian_Ross]

The name Powkiddy is what stops me buying any of their products... I can't do it... It has kiddy in the name... It makes me think of Fisher Price

[@RonaldDorsinator]

🤣🤣💀

[@morid0]

Such a pitty, has a nice form factor what looks like decent controls, but o boy that emulation... How the heck can you even mess up NES?????? A toaster can run those games perfectly

[@mickleadbitter822]

I wish they would do something about the speakers on these emulators they sound so tinny it gets on ya nerves after a while

[@philipwilliams3427]

Could you imagine the thoughts from the post office when they saw the package.. A kilo of drugs🤣

[@ElAlex214]

I would love to see Anbernic do something similar, pretty sure they would nail it. I like the overall design of this handheld, perhaps a 5-6" screen would be better to keep it more portable. The right analog needs to be placed on top or removed if the unit is not powerful enough to run games that requires it. Get rid of the camera, usb c is a must, ips display would be nice but not a major problem, a micro o mini hdmi would be welcomed but not really a necessity since this is aimed as a gaming handheld. Not sure if Bluetooth (gamepads & headsets) or Wifi are present but it would be nice if they were & there was a store like in some of the chinise handhelds or pandora's box sets.

[@JustPeasant]

€51.35?! What a rip off! This gets the official Gamer stamp of s... Straight to the bed of Rijn (Rhine), Maos (Meuse), Schelde (Scheldt), Iessel (IJssel) with this!

powkiddy is like Jekyll and Hide for handhelds

[@frankvangod]

Thats what i think is a problem with many powkiddy handhelds.. new versions, but little change in schreen and performance. I guess they dont care too much about the communities opinion. Only reason to buy it is they are cheap.

[@jomichael1060]

Thank you, You saved me from buying it ✌️ Respect

Yup it's my pleasure.. another one for the pile never to be looked at 😅

Guys, would you recommend me to buy it or buy the "x12 plus" ? Because they both look so good to me

[@don.c.1056]

🎯🎯🎯Heyyyy Wicked, I've been asking for this review for a while, excited you got one the check out. I've had mine for 2 months and I wanted you to cover the awful game menu. They show only the folders and the names of the games. No thumbnails or video clips for the games, Bad Kiddy. I would put up with the emulation if it was easy to pick out the games that work. So bad

[@wordsmith451]

Btw the reason they have the ABXY setup that way is because that’s how Nintendo does it - look at the DS or Switch.

[@dub2536]

I have never seen Metal Slug run so fast before. Not buying it. Cool video. Peace!

[@JUTTBADSHAH22]

How we order this pow kiddy in Pakistan ??

[@AgentFSB]

What a mess. I couldn't believe it when you started Adventure Island and the sound was completely and utterly messed up. If they could make the system a little more powerful and get the emulators running better (and add in options for 4:3) I think they could do well with this.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

After some time I just Laugh about this. ... in the end I was crying from the inside 😅

[@SWPLGAMING]

It looks like it feels nice in the hand, I might just. Great video and stay Wicked👍🏾

[@bladeblade2435]

I think most of the time they build these mass production but do they ever test them that they play what's on them it's a shame apart from that horrible piano black gloss it's not a bad looking handheld.

Looks beautiful just wish they would finally fix the aspect ratio already. I want that hand held but wish it actually worked right

[@johnnybravo1907]

where were are the specs for this device??????????????????? have you ever considered that might be important to include in all of your videos. i speculate it might be the same weak cpu from rockchip rk3126 if thats the case have you ever thought to boot off the sd card slot and load a variant of emuelec from the 351 or emustation i believe you can also use batocera to make it a much better handheld

[@fonzitheman]

Only real thing this has going for it is the design, which is OK and obviously taken from the old JXD S192. Without even checking emulation performance this is an instant fail simply cause of the forced stretched view which is a big no no for retro emulation. Terrible. Im always waiting for 7" handhelds but theres rarely any decent ones like we have with small ones.

[@FagnerEuclides]

This game is play 64?

[@dragosv2573]

The only pro of this potatoe is the form factor. I think it's the worst expensive handheld that I saw on the Wicked channel. It' s the biggest disappointment of 2021... Bad powkiddy... Bad! Slap that handheld and sent it to Hades... PS: did you film the video in another studio?

Been waiting for years for something in a similar form factor but running Android. The only thing even close is the X15 which I have but has too many flaws, and a few old JXD handhelds are physically better but lacking in power and software.
