![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
In 15 years, someone will stumble on this video and say "OMG my childhood!! This was the best game system ever!!"
True, just you wait (I'll be 62 then)!
I can not, that just broke my heart.
No.
@ChristopherSobieniak no.
Open it up and make the pie inside of it so what you want. It's not difficult. Extract the code that every dollar store console uses and tweak it.
Screw legal. This thing would (only) be awesome if it had 200 NES roms.
That'd be too good of a deal lol
They had a game boy knock off a few years ago that had 400 games with a ton of NES bootleg roms. They updated it the next year with 200 games and I think all the best games taken out
piracy is for losers.
@@the-NightStar Should you have to pay a subscription to a car you have paid off?
@@dysfunctioned Actually you do have to do that. It's called property tax.
Honestly my 10 year old son would go nuts for this thing. He's obsessed with those little miniatures arcades.
It'd make a great stocking stuffer for him
Please don't hurt your son this way.
I bet if you gave him any kind of actual console he would immediately throw those miniature arcades to the bin
@@Heyim18bro He's got a Switch. Rationed though. He also reads at the level of a 15 year old.
@@goodlookinouthomie1757 You should just ration the arcade ones :p jk
run doom on it
wolfinstein?
Yes!!!
Ok, a calculator to make sense, but nes
None of these was nes games youngster
@@WSNight-You don’t get it. It’s actually been done before
In Order:
• The menu music is the Stage 1 theme from _"Mighty Final Fight"_ on NES.
• The so-called "Turtles 6" is actually the NES port of _"Lode Runner"_ under a different name.
• "Mad Xmas", "Five Days", "Garden Wars", "Pong Pong" and "Hit Mouse" are common Chinese developed bootleg games you'd find on most of these 400 in 1 systems.
Overall it's just your typical budget Chinese knockoff system with a bunch of shovelware and a couple of mid-tier NES games/reskins mixed in.
Correction: *Stage 2*
Don't wanna be those kind of "well, actually..." guys, but it's an autistic trigger of mine whenever someone says something wrong in a subject I like, whether on purpose or not.
_"The perfect gift for anyone who grew up playing NES."_
Ah yes. I look forward to squinting at the 2" screen to play Hit Mouse.
😅😂
😂😂😂😂
Whoever had a gameboy micro wouldnt complain
@@jg2722 Yes they would. They have a GBA Micro. Those sucked.
No backwards compatibility with GB or GBC games. Mono speaker. No brightness control. The screen is front lit. The L and R buttons are hard to hit. It's awkward to hold. It came out after the DS. And it was $20 more expensive than the GBA SP.
The best of the GB family was the GBA SP 101.
@@techmouse. damn gba micros go for like 250$ on ebay rn wtf
Certainly feels like something you stick in a doll house and have it be like the figures are playing this.
Yeah? Like, a diorama prop. Cool idea!
@@Mr.Peanut1986that is cool get two with one screen and system but then have two controllers and have two big model figures play
Dang, that's a great idea. I might have to go buy this now
😂
"Play the classics" Oh yes, Mirror Devil Word, what a classic.
the fact all this now runs on something a little bigger than a quarter, my god im old
you REALLY should not be impressed by this.
Man, I have every classic gaming / arcade system / pinball and all their games, all movies, tv series, books, comic books, music, videos, pics that I could ever hope to humanly watch, just on 6 little 20TB external drives, and still lots of room to spare. Also have backups of these if they ever get trashed lol.
@@JinzoCrash MIRC or torrents?
I am old! Lol. This makes me feel older!😊
Please watch your choice of words. God has nothing to do with this. His name should be respected.
I've opened up one of these a couple days ago. It's all held in with 4 screws and some plastic clips. 2 on the left, you pull it apart at an angle, then 2 more holding the main board on the right inside. The screen is held in place by nothing but pressure from some foam, no adhesives on the screen. It does have the typical epoxy blob cpu, with an EEPROM memory chip that has a whopping 8MB of storage. Being an EEPROM it's not rewritable via normal means. However i wonder if the video output can be modded somehow, as it has a proper ribbon cable input. The little NES on the cable is just empty. Just some hot glue to hold the cable. As for the roms, as mentioned they are poor original games or full reskins. I've tried playing through all the games and found at least reskinned Excitebike, Xevious, Dig Dug 2, Seicross, Bomberman, Minesweeper, DK Jr., DK 3, 1942, Spy Hunter, and Centipede from what I could recognize. Surely more reskinned games exist as some of them definitely felt higher quality than normal in gameplay, besides the poor graphics. Some of the original roms are old, as a couple like "Police Dog Lasy" and "Rescue Kucks" have been covered by youtubers like a decade ago. I think specifically JonTron/ProJared.
Great to know, thanks for the insight 😃
I love reading and learning more cool retro/tech stuff from experienced people like you...thanks brother
Vargskelethor Joel played a bunch of them on bootleg NES carts and consoles.
@@MacUser2-il2cx i love Joel, still somewhat follow him to this day. Started maybeeee 8 or so years ago.
Talk about being through! After watching this I was thinking about picking up one just for the screen and to see if theres anyway to hack/mod it. Thanks!
You know the packaging is made better than the product
As someone into the bootleg games scene, I love these things. Aside from the fun novelty, this is basically a modern incarnation of those "consoles in controllers" you mentioned.
I also recognized "Turtle" as "Conte Enegy" almost immediately. It's a bootlegged version of Lode Runner. To my knowledge, everything else is programmed from scratch, mainly by Nice Code.
Thanks for the info :) Not going to lie, I kind of miss those controllers lol.
I saw a second of the gameplay and said, "Hey, that's Lode Runner!" I didn't know Nice Code actually went through the trouble of reprogramming the entire thing, though, that's pretty impressive.
@@ToaderTheToad Inventor made that one, all they did was change the graphics and screw up the music. Nice Code made stuff like Hit Mouse and Five Days, which are completely original.
Oh that's my bad, I misread your comment (I thought you meant _Conte Enegy_ was reprogrammed, not that everything besides it was reprogrammed)
Yeah Nice Code was pretty prolific back then, too bad they didn't really seem to make any of those rare "hits" like Sachen managed to make with Q Boy, which looks like it could be licensed
@@ToaderTheToad To my knowledge, all of Nice Code's games were multicart-exclusive.
Breaking news, Todd Howard announced the release of Skyrim on the 5-Below NES.
Turtles = Lode Runner
The turtles game was lode runner by Hudson soft
New that looked familiar, thanks for the heads up 😉
Or was it Broderbund?
@@GladeSwope Both. Hudson Soft developed the Famicom/NES port and Broderbund was the US publisher.
Is it for sure a copy or clone? Its been too long and I'm not familiar enough with the game to know if it's just "inspired" by it, or an actual illegal rom. It seems most games on here are legal, not stolen. It would seem kinda odd (but certainly not impossible) to just have the one or maybe a couple illegal roms when all the rest are legal.
@@gravitywaves2796 it's definitely the nes version of lode runner. looks like they just edited the title screen to hide the name and all the copyright stuff.
Honestly without any good roms it's not worth the $10.
It's a neat novelty item lol
@MCDNetwork True the screen/TV alone is a curiosity.
totally going to get one and use it for my raspberry pi
@SgtCreepyGaming that's a great idea if you have the know how to get it working! I personally don't but I'm guessing it's fairly simple.
I recognize all those trash games from my $15 Chinese NES rom hack I found on Ebay. mine looks like a NES Gameboy, has a crappy built in screen but has AV cables to hook to a real TV, and rechargable battery via a phone charger...and turbo buttons! Mine also has 800 roms mostly trash and repeats, but there are ~50 good games like Super Contra, Jackal, TNMT 1 and 3, All the Adventure Island games, Guerrila War, Batman, and many others on it. I really don't feel bad about the "illegal" part of it. NES made their money on those games 35 years ago.
No one cares if there was illegal roms on these things because the homebrew games on these things suck so I'd rather them put real SNES & SNES games on it it'd be no different than buying a multi game cart
I'd rather they don't include any games. Not even because of the legality. I'd rather have a personalized library than the entire rom dump without rhyme or reason.
Just run a raspberry pi and use the screen then
@@Maj-zx4xd If you're suggesting to hack the PS Portal with a raspberry pi that's an awesome idea but no one's done that before & I don't know how so Play Station releasing a new handheld is a much better option
@Maj-zx4xd I made a RetroPie setup. It surprised me what all it could do. I primarily played NES and SNES games on it but played all kinds of stuff. Even did Playstation games. Yes I'd played Doom as well. I still prefer my old school NES though. There is just something about playing on old original hardware. I even keep an old CRT around just to play my NES on.
Yeah snes and snes
This is actually really cool for $10.
The Mini CRT display is what really sold it for me lol
Those wires look like dental floss
Yeah, it does lol
The very first game you played Turtles was Load Runner NES version.
Even the music is the same.
Lode*
I'm sure a company as prestigious as "Vivitar" would make sure not to do any ROMs that could get them easily sued.
Modding this to have a tv input or legit nes rom games inside would be awesome.
Five & Below has had a bootleg handheld for years now. It's called Classic Arcade. It has nes roms
Five Below*
If that's the Gameboy looking one, I picked mine up at Walmart and have been playing way too much Octopus(Little Mermaid 2 game that is also known as Brave Boy by many).
5:19 you're not "supposed to" but you're allowed to.
Personally, I'm thrilled to have the option, but if you want to put yours somewhere else, that's perfectly allowed too.
It's more the thought of that dangling around on the side of a backpack sounded ridiculous lol. There wasn't anything that could attach the controller to the TV so those would just be hanging out too
What's with the weirdly aggressive comments on this video? Some of you need to chill.
Yeah these comments are strange. It makes me wonder if the algorithm dumped a bunch of viewers in here where this isn't really their thing.
it's a pretty suck ass video though
"Turtles" looks and sounds like Lode Runner.
As a gamer of 30 yrs, i gotta say, you sound like a Cop😂😂 2:34
@6:38 'Rescue Cuck' 🤣🤣🤣
You’ve never had one of your own??
Have you played it though?
I really wasn't PREPared for how BULLish I'd be on this title.
I'm trying to imagine being a programmer in China working all these games to put on a $10 console
years ago i was in a spot with no tv no computer and no money. this would of helped me pass time at night im sure
Now I want to see the internals of this strange thing.
That could be interesting...
Epoxy blob famiclone
Epoxy blob unfortunately.
Definitely a black blob
time to do some Surgery!
Who’s this for? Ants 🐜?
Oh it’s a novelty thing
😂 yes & Jacob why am I following you again? I can't remember 🤔 I just saw I've followed you. What do you post or did in the past?
I read that in Zoolander's voice.
Might need a magnifying glass in order to see the screen, but it looks neat.
That box art looks like a screenshot of Streets Of Rage opening
True
This is the first time I have ever seen someone's hands/fingers & thought they look incredibly similar to mine. Its kinda cool, but also creepy because I'm holding my tablet and essentially seeing two sets of my hands.😮🧐✋🏻🤚🏻
Lmao, hand-seption
🎶 This Hand is your HAND, this HAND is MY HAND, oh, WAIT...... that's YOUR HAND,
NO! WAIT..... it's MY HAND! 😲 🎶
"Turtles" is actually the game Lode Runner.
Five below needs to change their name
Its the 99 CENT STORE oNLY all over again
"Five & Up"
@@jfdrac 99 Cent Store Sold Name Brands
Dollar Tree...where everything is $2.50
Five Below should be called: Chinese Child Labor Product Outlet.
I thought I read somewhere a couple years ago that they were changing it to "Five and Beyond." But that could totally be a Mandela effect thing.
The garden war game looks like a rom hack of donkey Kong 3
I bought a different 200 game console thing like this at 5 Below over the weekend and it did indeed have a Japanese version of the Ultra TMNT NES game, as well as the Japanese Macross NES game, Arkanoid, Tiger Heli, and eve the freaking LJN Friday the 13th!!
The game labeled "Turtles" was Lode Runner, the series Bomberman came from (he's one of the enemies, could even see him onscreen). So not legal LOL
I bought some simple very cheap electronics there, and the devices did not work. I never tried to return things back, but I learned my lesson!
On the instruction booklet it says Vivitar. That is/used to be a camera/electronics manufacturer that I remember from the 80s. I would say no wonder the little display is nice, but I can't remember if they did TVs.
They're basically a phantom brand nowadays.
Vivitar...that sounds SO familiar! I think you called it. I think they DID make TV's....I'm gonna Google it.
From what I found with a quick search, it looks to be more cameras than anything else. Even, old camcorders...but I vaguely remember Vivitar TV's, too...must be a Mandela Effect....
I had a Vivitar digital camera in the mid 2000s. Kind of a "kid's first digital camera" kind of deal. I think it ran on AAAs and was about a megapixel.
They've definitely just been cameras until recently. I still have my 110 film point-and-shoot from 25 years ago. They've always been a bargain brand, but I guess lately they've pivoted slightly to kid's electronics, which makes sense from a brand identity diversification stand point.
Going from cheap, entry-level cameras 20 years ago, to 2 megapixel camera toys featured at checkout lines 10 years ago, to kid's miniature, cheap game system now, it seems like a logical step to keep the company and brand afloat.
Every time I drove by this store I assumed it was an ice cream shop because of the name lol. Learn something new everyday.
The profile picture goes great with this comment 😄😂
i thought it was like winter coats and jackets and hats and skiing equipment and stuff
Bitchhhhhhhhh please you been in the store before stop the cap
I really like the pinball and the flip pull game.
A lot of these are also found on a plug and play system called the Cool Baby (an NES Classic clone) that "have 600" games.
I guess im going to visit Five Below now
Mad Xmas is giving me Beat Em N Eat Em vibes...
For sure
Avgn would have a field day with this probably. Action 52 clone
I don’t remember what title they gave it, but Excitebike is on this thing. Also as others mentioned “Turtles” is Lode Runner. There might be some other bootlegs, too. I haven’t gone through everything on mine yet.
I couldn’t imagine as a 47 year old, squinting at this screen to play games on. Not everything retro needs to come back.
10:29 this is a pirate original , there is a variant with boats
These "famiclones" as they're called are a dime a dozen these days. They're genuinely everywhere. And I bet they're all preying upon the people who want to play "retro" games not knowing what retro games really were.
That said, I can *at least* give them credit for the cute design. Most of the ones I see are in a generic handheld form factor, so something custom-made like this would've certainly cost extra.
Seems like the kind of thing that would have Circus Charlie under 5000 titles.
😂 they sould call it five and above 😂
Yup
My daughter has this it actually not bad. It would be better if could be hooked up to a tv. They all have generic name like boat race etc
You can probably make a pipboy with the screen if you have access to a 3D printer
That's a great idea
Kind of crazy to know this has 4x the games (better quality too) at %5 of the price of Action 52, and it even comes with it's own screen. What a time to be alive, even if it is still kind of garbage.
lol
Too bad we didn’t have this back In the 90s. I always wanted something like this
$10...my rabbit now can retro game it up!
Those wires pop and its GAME OVER!
The shooting game is an NES game. I forget what the name is but I've seen it before.
I wish you had picked bicycle to see if it was like excitebike
Pole Position clone.
First game turtles look like Lode Runner
0:57 funny thing about five below when it comes to the technology stuff! If I remember correctly five below when it came to five beyond on their tech section they always made it a rule to never go more than five above, pretty much within I guess something like 5 + 5 being $10 and no more than that so, the fact that I actually live with my area actually containing one of those lovely stores at my most closest nearby local mall speaks a lot of volumes and wonders; but this! This find of yours I think it's rather.... UNCOMMON AND SUPER COOL!! 🤩 Is it likely that my nearest five below will ever actually start selling those as well??😅😅😅 I WANT ONE DANG IT FIVE BELOW PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU GUYS GET THOSE IN STOCK I WANT AN NES FROM FIVE BELOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥🎮🎮🎮🔥😎🫡
Up; They are now "officially on my end 5B", 'MIRACULOUSLY' starting to sell things that are beyond that five beyond, 15 and 25 for example lol who knew 😅😏 But hey at least it's really cool stuff still! I guess as long as it inclusive five on it we're good! Oh maybe also probs beneath 30 or 35 etc ☺️🫡 HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Btw those things are super cool I saw them! Again Merry Christmas early! ☺️🎄🎄🎄
I think the bumper cars' game is a reference to Tiny Toon Adventures 2, on the NES.😊
Love all of that game except the bumper cars
The first game is Lode Runner.
The music in the menu is from Mighty Final Fight.
At least the controller was cool that was the only best part about the console
5 Below; your missing the degree symbol where the o is at, meaning cool prices. I had to ask one of the managers about this. It basically insinuates cooler prices.
This Chinese NES Is For Families That Can’t Afford An NES & Can’t Wait For A Thrift Store To Have Them
5 below is a false advertisement. They sell things that cost more than 5.
Was gonna get it today but got a speaker instead lol 😂
I went to Five below and they never heard of it.
Buy a few more before Nintendo sues 5 Below
Older gamers need a telescope to see the game.
Wow, I didn’t know the five below selled the NES and also that is a little CRT TV with the retro games
Neither did I untill a few days ago 😅
Rescue Kuck is Donkey Kong Jr.
its amazing they still make s hit like this nowadays
I wish I had that in 1990.
The unofficial mini consoles have like twenty games and 500 variations
That is pretty cool. Have you unscrewed the mini-NES to see if it’s just a decoration or if there’s anything inside?
I would buy one if it’s empty just to have the two things, the game and the mini-NES to put on a keychain.
Yes I have, we'll be releasing a teardown video for this tomorrow afternoon @3pm Centeral 😁
*These games suck I'd rather have illegal nes roms*
I wonder if you can load roms to it through the usb port.
From what I can tell it's just for power
Another commenter did a full tear down and says it's a non-rewritable EEPROM, unfortunately. Yer stuck with what they give ya here.
@loustandards2827 that's disappointing
@@loustandards2827 It's an EEPROM. Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory. Most likely the circuitry to erase/write the chip isn't built into the thing. You'd need a clip to fit onto the chip or there might be some pads on the PCB for pogo pins for the factory programmer. Figure out what's needed to program it then buy or build it.
@@loustandards2827 Well is t that some bullshit
I don't know why you would recommend this. It's worth $0. There are no good games on there and the controller is way too small for human hands unless you are about 3 years old. It really makes me think that you are paid by five below to promote this. You keep saying we should get it for the screen when everybody has better screens on their phones already that they've already paid for. What are we going to do with that screen? It's just a waste of money.
I wish 5 Below paid me for it 😅 They in fact did not. In my opinion, for a novelty item 10 dollars isn't bad. Spent the same amount on worse things...
Wow I'm definitely gonna start shopping at five below
7:59 EVIL SANTA
Ironically, not that evil lol
I bought one yesterday becuase of your video 😂 now I wanna hack it!😂
That's Awesome, Left me know how it goes!
They canf be hacked already looked into it
@@xnj9206You can desolder the Spansion S29GL064A90TFIR4 chip from it and reflash it with a SuperPro 6100. What did you look into?
It sounds like music from mighty final fight
Hit Mouse gave me major REREZ memories.
New subscriber here. There's a Five Below near my job, so I think I'll pick one up. Awesome review!
Welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video.
I saw $10 and 5 Below and NES and instantly clicked on the video. i bet the quality is probably crap though? still, for $10....how bad could it be? Oh....I will be spending money on batteries? gahhh! i recognize that creepy Santa Claus Kaboom style game from a similar illegal Chinese Rom hack system i bought on ebay for $15 awhile back. a lot of those roms are trash, mine has 800 games, but only about 40 or 50 of them are any good, but mine has AV cable out to an actual TV...and a rechargable battery via USB that's good for 2-3 hours between charges.
"Turtles" is lode runner with the title screen erased
NES for a Smurf... I think its pretty cool for what it is.
All of the games you tried here besides turtles are ones I've seen on other plug and plays before or similar devices. They seem to be homebrew or bootleg NES roms made specifically to be put on these kinds of devices. I bet you there's a few more Nes reskins, maybe a version of Circus Charlie, that one's pretty popular on these things.
It’s nice for a diorama.
True
Turtle is Load Runner with a different menu.
I believe the garden game is actually a galaga rom hack but with altered enemy behavior in addition to new graphics.
The rest are homebrews that show up on a lot of these NoC consoles.
Lode*
Should be 5 dollars not 10 lol
Agreed
Oh that game thing is so cute in size good review try out
It’s a product made by Vivitar
Totally awesome video man 😎!
Thank you
@ You’re welcome man 😃!
Dude, it's $10! It's ridiculous what it can do!
I wouldn't buy it myself, but I've spent $10 on single games that I would spend less time on!
