These knockoff consoles always make me feel so sad. You just know they're targeted primarily towards lower income and elderly relatives who don't know any better and are just trying to make some kid happy :(
They make me feel sad bc of all this electronic junk that will just end up in a landfill
Well at least it’s playable and has games, but the kid might tell the difference
This just makes me wanna buy more
If you going to present a special people and don't have money present her/him with another device or at least raise money and buy a real one, not fake Chinese crap. Actually it's very disrespectful to do so.

When there's a complex philosophical blurb on the box, you know it's going to have 2000 versions of Super Mario Bros.👍
Lold on that one
And Donkey Kong
🤣
Everything Chinese has this philosophical thing, even my lunchbox.
@@ChicagoMel23 dankey kang
imagine having this device in 1990, I wonder how different it would be looked at
I can assure you, you'd be the most popular kid in the school play ground during lunch time,
we had emulation in the 90s and it didn't lag.
You would be a time traveler, since you'll also have GBA games even before they were released
@@KillerAndMX you'd play GBC also
@@k27ism 😂
5:09 The body of a Switch, the analog stick of a 3DS, and the UI menu of the PS Vita. That's delightfully Frankenstein's Monsterish.
I love when bootleg products use the word “new” on some feature the thing always had to begin with, just to make you believe it has a history and some reputation, even if it was launched like two months ago.
At 3:21 they have a 8G connectivity sticker and don't even boast about it... we are stuck with our mere 5G and it's a selling point for high end smartphones ! They're way ahead of us and yet remain humble about it.
We have so much to learn from these cheap rip offs and knock offs sellers
I love when actual non-bootleg products use the same gimmick.
@@odeon6139 it means 8GB
@@odeon6139 "8G" in those cases is usualy an indicator for storage size... guess they couldnt aford a bigger sticker or a smaller font size to fit "GB on it"
@@weberman173 No, in china they refer to memory as "G" for gigabytes. They don't use "GB"
I wonder how many of these bootleg systems are bought by people that do know better but are curious how bad they actually are.
Not everyone lives like in the USA bro
@@armandosalazar7491 what? If you want a budget console there are better options than a bootleg of a higher end console.
if I had the money I totally would
@@loganbogan9 you can get these waaaaaay cheaper on poor countries for example India, and you can only get these fake/clonish systems, there's no way to get a XPD or those better consoles.
I wasted 50 usd and smashed it
"Make sure that like button". Was John in a hurry today? 😂😂
He sometimes does the same thing with Grand Theft Auto. He’ll say Grand Thauto instead.
Though I was the only one who caught that 🤣
The emulation was so bad it made him glitch
Look at the bright side! You get to enjoy each frame individually and those pixels just pop out of the screen. Really makes you think about life and how we sometimes take our frame rate and pixels for granted. LOL
Also make you think in the time and money you wasted on crap like that
It really makes you think about life, and how there's happiness in it.
why are the companies that make these consoles getting away with literally distributing roms for money? 😅
Because they are from China who don't really care about other countries when in comes to distribution of their properties. It's why most don't release consoles there to begin with.
@@freddiejohnson6137 This. Heck, they distributed a virus to the whole world.
W Tunic pfp
Probably for people with not very much money, so they can play a crappy emulation of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror.
@@freddiejohnson6137 Same with American too. It's sad.
Ah yes my favorite color; "There is happiness in life"
Ironically next to the colour that represents depression
Lol its like a candle with the scent of "A Child's Wish"
So bad that it's actually good. At least fun for someone, make a good laugh the first time you see it.
@@niceLoganGuy384 wanna be friends?
Man, If only the analog stick rotation actually worked as a wheel controller for games like Mario Kart or Puzzle Bobble none of us would be laughing.
Analoge stick ks so bad and rusty
I get the feeling a lot of parents are going to be putting their retirement housing guarantee on the line by buying this cheap ish for their kids.
Indeed, lol.
For it being hilariously bad, it can sure play gba games while the switch can’t
XD
Aren't some gba game already there but not in NSO 😆
@@SeddyAm true there are, but it is still wild. that this one has a library built in. Wonder what is taking Nintendo so long to include more on the Switch
@@kadosho02 not sure but some game you wanted to include probably had to do with licensing or approval in some company who owns some gba games
It's not that the Switch *can't* play GBA, it just *won't*.
I wish you would have shown the NES library and performance! That would have been fun to see.
Its not worth it this is total garbage mine died Quick
Honestly these days the nes library can run on a potato.
@@marcellachine5718 psp
2ds etc all easy
@@marcellachine5718 every android can do it easily
Pretty much any device from the past 20+yrs is capable of running NES at full speed. 😅.... So I think it's a safe assumption to say that even this blue turd would as well.
Actually purchased that exact one through Amazon as a cheap game player for my 6 year old. I have a NES and SNES but this is just easier for him to play on the go. He feels like his older sisters since they get to play. Cheap and easy so that if he breaks it no problem - however, 7 months in and still going strong.
If I was you, would buy them a second hand modded PSP, rather than this piece of garbage. But if he's happy with this, then great.
@@匿名-y6g this "piece of garbage" is good for young ages. Did you even read the comment?
@@nexuspalkia Yes, but you can't tell me that this is good enough for anything, it's very very cheap looking, the UI experience is the lowest of the lowest. It's great once your ignorant to what the standards are, but kids are very curious, and will going to find out that this is shit.
There are dozens of retro handhelds that can play everything perfectly up to PS1 for less than 100$ and you choosed a terrible quality one which can't even play SNES? Do a favour to your kid and pick a Miyoo mini or a RG351P.
@@snowolf494 He's young so getting him something that can break immediately for less than 30.00 is a good thing in my book. It's also his first moderately proper foray into gaming (beyond little tablet games). And second, he will be tempered in the fires of laggy inputs. It'll be life changing when he doesn't have to experience that.. lol. Well, joycon drift could ruin it for him.
If you thought you bought a real Nintendo Switch but it was fake, is that a Nintendo Bait-and-Switch?
Kid: I want a Nintendo Switch
Mom: We have a Nintendo Switch
The “Switch” at home
Lmao
You know it’s good when it supports Realplayer 😂
Imagine a poor granny or old relative who don't know a thing about video games and buys you this for your birthday.
I am actually very impressed about how bad that SNES emulation is.
Like, really. How is that even possible?
SNES games ran pretty well on any crap pc in the early 2000s. How could they screw this up?
@@NoName_NoTitle Even before that. I remember playing Donkey Kong Country with a terrible Pentium 4 machine.
@@gfbodomi umm... Pentium 4 came out in 2000 (and it was a beast at the time)
@@NoName_NoTitle That does make sense. Time tends to warp one's memories.
I get above 60 fps on the rg350 for ps1 and snes emulation
For $40 you can get the PowKiddy V90 which is actually a pretty damn good lil device that runs the games well. So the low price point isn't always the issue in the emulation handheld market. Just do your research first.. and if custom firmware is available for the device USE IT... It will often make a massive performance difference with some of these devices.
I mean they're asking the same price as as an Ambernic. I know they have cheap ones that are like $20 or $30 maybe $50 that would work great with this stuff for the price and isn't total garbage.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu ya, I have several Anbernic devices. They're beauty. Especially with CFW... However, I'm not aware of any devices they have that are that cheap... You're spending at least $70 for a good Anbernic... I just dropped $170 on their new RG353P
@@EvEnMoR
I'm not sure if the one I'm thinking of is an actual Amberic but I thought it was. Super portable basically only has d-pad no thumbsticks. And I think 4 face buttons maybe left and right triggers I forget.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu sounds like you're thinking of the RG280V... Great lil device that's been around for awhile. I think it's in the $50-75usd range... It's getting a lil long in the tooth now, but is still totally capable of emulating up to PS1 I believe... Also probably has a ton of CFW support by now.
@@EvEnMoR
My problem is I keep up with a lot of the channels that look at a lot of those like something prime and MLP. So all the brands and stuff just start running together it might have been a powkiddy variant or something similar. This one really looked like a small game boy or even GBA version d-pad maybe it was only two buttons but I think it was four. And maybe left and right triggers but I might be wrong. But yeah it had a pretty weak chip in it if I remember correctly I pretty much was for 8 and 16 bit consoles maybe things like Neo Geo TG-16/PC engine probably. Along with arcade probably.
Should have checked if that was a fake 8GB SD card.
Just test it with some verification software on windows to detect firmware modification.
If only there was real Switch Lite version with that size controls.
I purchased one, especially for Nes and Game Boy games, and I was so surprise by the bad quality emulation for those systems
Yeah, these things aren't worth it when you can get emulators on a Desktop or Phone for free.. sorry you had to learn the hard way.
@@Chipmunkboy no one uses android
@ hello
@ you're weird
@@magbanuamik_ cool
Lmao it stole the Vita's LiveArea screen (I still really miss that menu, I loved the Skittles)
You'd think these companies would actually try to make glorified PSP emulating devices out of these given the entire concept behind this handheld being a Switch copy, but no, that would be giving into the role too much because good is bad.
It's even more ironic as the main menu is a PS Vita LiveArea rip-off. Pfffft...
I can remember when everyone was playing snake on their Nokia 3310 only 15 years ago. If you go back in time with this device, to be able to play console games and thousands of them for just $30 and in a pocketable device, that would be considered no short of amazing. And thousands of mame arcade games too!! A whole arcade in your pocket.
15 years ago you could play a PSP. It was still better than this
@@DanaTheInsane no it wasn't
@@Curryking32000 it was lol not sure did you ever used one before talking crap about it this things nothing but waste of microchip silicons
@@secondaccounta320 I collect them. Back in the day, people would give their eye teeth for something that cost under £40 that would play thousands of arcade and console games. How much did each game cost to buy back then? I remember paying £30 for a second rate port of Flying Shark on the Amiga but in those days it was amazing.
Mate, I think you're judging things by todays standards.
for almost perfect emulation for everything up to the ps1, check out the miyoo mini. amazing value for about $60
6:18 They lie. I bought a Media Player for my G/F, she wanted it to play DVDs. It does, it doesn't do anything else it claimed though. And claimed not only Online but in the instructions. Nope does nothing except play DVDs. Fortunately that's all she wanted.
1:42 I'm sorry, is that the RealPlayer logo on there? That thing is still around!?
6:40 The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon? I don't think they ever released that as a GBA Video cart. Did they really crush the movie in there, or is that a ROM hack?
that's a *Nontendo switch lite*
@Spawn Wave On previous iterations the D pad would have been 4 separate buttons, so the D pad has to be large to reach the button contact pads. The case may be a recent design but the PCB isn’t, that’s why the plus & minus buttons have to be fake, there’s no contacts up there.
I love how the home screen looks the like the ps vita but really bad 🤣
They stolen the concept
Miyoo Mini and PlayGo are both $50-$60 and are great entry level devices. The RG353P is pretty awesome.
As someone else said this feels like the kind of crap a deadbeat dad would get for his son. The internet equivalent of buying toys at a local liquor store or mini Mart.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu yeah. Some of them are laughably bad, but some of them are a lot of fun.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu there are actually alot of good quality portable emulators that come out of china. this video just shows one where the devs didnt give a shit.
@@rs07scapeNews
I mean I do think they're unfortunately is a lot of crap out there. You gotta be careful when buying one of these. Even some of the good ones have a tendency to suddenly die for no reason. But yeah this is one of the absolute worst I've seen. Truly bottom of the barrel plus it's a bad switch knock off. This could have been halfway decent if they cared even a little bit which clearly they didn't at all.
I am extremely curious to know what that built in maplestory game is. Afaik Maplestory has only had games released as the MMO, a DS game, and a mobile phone game. Seeing as this device can't even run SNES games at full speed and it only has one screen, I'm doubtful it's the DS version. It's almost surely not the mobile version as it requires online play, and it definitely isn't the MMO. Really want to see what that could be
as it's chinese bootleg it's probably snes romhack, not official game
@@ergonomics_of_flatulence I'd still be really interested in seeing a SNES hack based on Maplestory! I've never heard of such a thing
@@sandnewts I clicked on it and it was just one of the Adventure Island games from what I remember.
It is reassuring that there is happiness in life
Sheeeesh got here early. Hope you can see my comment. I love your videos. I watch them most mornings before work
Spawnwave the only good thing I can see about these knockoff handhelds is that you can be able to experiment with them to make a Raspberrypie handheld.
My mama always said knockoffs are like a box of chocolates: You never know what you're gonna get.
Wow, I saw the RealPlayer logo in the box where it showed supported media. I haven’t seen that in years.
OH MY GOD. I have the Vita variant. (X7 Plus) It has some noticeable differences. Doesn't really show all the supported stuff on mine but this plays the same stuff lol. It's actually decent along with the camera, mic, and video.
When your grandma tries to get you a Nintendo switch
There's some better ones out there that will actually run ps1 games decently, and everything before that console runs near flawless. Powkiddy q90 or v90 are pretty good compared to this. But for the ultimate retro handheld emulator go with the miyoo mini. Near flawless ps1 on that one! The more expensive ambernic devices will play dreamcast and saturn and n64 almost perfectly. Retroid pocket 2+ will play GameCube pretty well. So there's some really good handhelds out there in the $50-$150 range.
My Vita plays PS1 games perfectly......!
@@lemming9984 In my shitty country I can buy with 15% more money a ps4 for what a Vita cost, absurdly expensive for a handheld.
@@Arc_Soma2639 Yeah, I suppose you had to buy one a few years ago to get them at a reasonable price. They really are great machines!
@@Arc_Soma2639 Have you looked into buying a Vita from Japan? They tend to run cheaper than US/EU variants. You can install CFW to run in English and play roms.
Steamdeck plays nearly everything
You should do a video upgrading these knockoff systems with like raspberrypi. Essentially just keeping the shell and trying to fit a raspberrypi motherboard on there.
The only reason I would buy this is to prank a Switch user by replacing their Switch with this console and see how long it takes for them to notice 😂
@ElatedHeal I dunno, Nintendo consumers are kinda _slow._
I wonder if there is a way to throw a pic zero or pi on one of these. $30 for a screen and shell might be worth it if you can some how mod a pi in it
My heart goes out to the kids who's parents/grandparents actually bought them crap like this because they're not educated enough to see the scam.
A few days this console is dead and cannot be okay at all
Huh, they changed the design on these a bit. I used to see a slightly different variant on Facebook Marketplace all the time with a larger screen bezel (and thus smaller screen) branded just "X20", with a slightly different box.
I got a fake SNES Classic once. I noticed the bugs and told my dad. It became clear that we got a fake. Very saddening and disappointing.
That's just the new version of the legendary pak iii. The old models had a psp styled shape
The first megaman game I played was x4 on PC. I got so used to the default keyboard control scheme that I felt I could never be comfortable with playing this kind of games with a controller. 4 arrow keys feel way more precise than analog stick, and you get dedicated fingers for dash, jump and x buster individually instead of having to use right thumb for all three actions.
How the hell did you manage to play x4 on pc? How the hell does that even happen lmao. I didn't even know it was on pc.
@@Andronicus87 iirc all X games had a PC port. Though the only PC port I've gotten to play personally was a bit of X8 on a friends desktop a few years ago.
Best of both world : the one analog stick from the PSP and the d-pad layout from the Switch Lite... scammers and knock offs be praised
Jesus lol. Don't even put it back together. Just throw that in the trash ASAP.
"Mom can we get a switch?"
" we have switch at home"
•the switch at home •
lol That box tho “Nintendoo Swiitch” 🤣
Just a silly question, do you think that because of all the backlash due to the unneccesity of TLOU remake. That critics will rate the game lower than the original?
I can't wait for the Remake. One of my favorite games of all times. If it's getting a graphical boost, quality of life and upgraded combat I'm game.
Yeah it's just a cash grab but I doubt the critics will hate it
Mom i want a nintendo Switch
Mom: we have nintendo switch at home
Nintendo switch at home:
$30 bucks???. Soulja boy would’ve sold it for $199.99 😅😂
Anyone notice the REAL Player logo? 😂😂😂 that’s a throwback
Mom can I have Nintendo switch? No we have Nintendo switch at home. Nintendo switch at home:
The strange quote on the front reminds me of the motivational phrases on the JP covers of the original Sonic games
The PocketGo and Q90 are the only $20 emulators that I've found to be playable.
For only 40 bucks? What a deal! That's like 2 days worth of gas.
TWO DAYS??!!
What do you drive??!! A Prius !!!
I bought one of these for my son , he loves it . He took it to school one day now he gets bullied 😔
I'm laughing, so I hope this is actually a joke
In it's defense, if something like this had come out 20 years ago it would have been a hot seller (and would probably have a major lawsuit with Nintendo).
The PSP came out 17 years ago and was able to emulate all those systems way better than this thing (including flawless PS1 emulation). Granted, you had to hack it and find roms yourself, but that wasn't all that difficult. The only thing this device has going for it is the cheap price.
(6:25) Supports PS1, doesn't come with games.
Considering how bad it runs those games you showed, I can't imagine how bad it will run PS1 games.
It has a removable Micro SD card with all the games? Buy it, load the ROMs onto PC (or Steam Deck) and throw away the cheap plastic thing.
Idk is buying stolen Roms legal use
@@roadrash2005 true
Honestly this sort of crap should not be allowed to come into our country. ATS is "Actions Semi" in Guangdong China. You can depend that nothing in this SoC is properly licensed and no patent fees have ever been paid.
What a waste of materials! 🧐
This should be forbidden. There goes our lovin resources. 🥺
"I can't jump and fire at the same time"
You're telling me
You can't simultaneously jump and shoot
In Jump 'N Shoot man
Wow... even cheap cheap electronics can run 16bit games decently these days... this fake Switch is just sad.
Me: Mom can we get a nintendo switch?
Mom: We have that at home
Nintendo Switch at home:
it always cracks me up seeing "consoles "that look like a badass PS4/5, running circus charlie
😂😂😂
That’s not the SWITCH that’s the SWAP.
if i could be bothered to type a paragraph about this it would contain the words "china" and "rubbish" and " hilairious" in it.
how could it be fake? the box is white and red just like the switch?
I'm pretty sure the giveaway is the fact they spell Nintendo as "Nintendoo" which is hilarious.
I was like "How did I miss this Rerez video? ...ohhh"
What it's just an ordanar..OH MY GOODNESS, SQUIDWAAAARD!!!
When you were scrolling on the menu and you were passing on the games on the menu , I think those are the said ps1 games because that one game looks like the Yu-Gi-Oh game for the PS1.
Still has a real media codec logo, no one even remembers it ever existed and yet they still put that logo on and it probably doesn't even play real hahah
Missing the thumbnail picture in video.
The Box sitting Nintendo switch on it at least in the thumbnail
Thank you for showing this, i am currently qorking in temu and we needed more "switches" to sell for 7 dollars. Thank you very much!
if you can re-flash the system with an updated software, it can suck less, but it still going to suck.
the button press issue is likely software side, as it may be just reading state changes vs a per frame read out of the button states.
The frame rate was all over the place holly crap.
They should have called this the Swatch
I commented on the fake ps5 video: "Cant wait for the Nendo Swotch release "
NENDO SWOTCH IS HERE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!
Mom: Theres food at home
Food at home:
What kind of obsolete processors do these things use? I remember emulating SNES without issue on my Nokia E61 back in 2006
The reason why I don't like it is because the screen is so small that is even smaller than the Nintendo switch lite in literally makes my eyes think that it looks smaller than usual
Is there anyway to write reviews on Amazon without buying the items? (Yes I can see how that could be abused)
I've been looking at external storage devices for my PS5 (Still has new console smell)
And I've been seeing a bunch of items calling themselves 16TB SSD's, for $100 and are the size of USB Flash drives.
They're obviously scams, but not everyone is going to know that.
And Amazon, doesn't even bother to vet items it lists and THEY EVEN DISTRIBUTE THESE!!!
Sorry, that really pisses me off, more so than the scammers even.
Pretty sure you can, it just won't have a "verified purchaser" stamp of approval
I ordered to of those. Not a scam sailor. It was the best purchase of my life. I am over the moon with the products wait, and accuracy
I think only pc has 16tb no consoles that i know of have one
@@staringcorgi6475 those would be external Mechanical Hard-Drives.
These scam items (which all seem to be gone now) were USB Flash-Drives (Thumbdrives)... with 16,384GB storage... for $100...
But at least they seem to be gone. For now.
And yes, consoles are limited. Playstation 5 limits to 8TB, don't know about XBsX.
She was sad to hear that fireflies are facing extinction due to artificial light, habitat loss, and pesticides.
I don't buy consoles on EBay anymore. I learned that the hard way. You should look up any unusual titles on the system and play them.
10:41 Ah, good old actions semiconductor!
I bought the vita look alike that uses switch colors! Super awesome if you’re looking to play rom hacks... that is it tho! Lol
When your mom says you already have a switch light
I like how the title is the fake Nintendo switch lite and not this Nintendo switch lite as if this is the only fake you can find lol
Why are these things allowed to be shipped to and be sold in the US
I saw that Real logo on the top of the box and I felt so old lol
9:40 Basically, if it didn't suck, it'd be good. No man, this is bad, there's no way around it.
Honestly isn't cheap knock-offs having real nintendo games called pirating games? Wow. if so, that can come to a big lawsuit.
