Mr. Immortal, I was looking for more info on this product. I'm still iffy tbh. What I just wanted to say was that your love for the video game medium and it's history is infectious. Love the videos throughout the years. Very glad you keep making these!
I’ve had something similar,but it only had 10,000 games,the reality is after you’ve gone through all the nostalgia games,truth is there are only about 200 that are any good.so after 1month it becomes the console you only get out when you have the boys round for beer and joints !
One of the upsides of the these things is that there is a save anytime feature for some of the long older games that had no password or battery such as kid chameleon for genesis
Got the X2-PRO last week for 100. Bluetoothed a PS4 DS to it, job done. Well worth the money just for all the ROMs alone, backed up to an external drive to play on my laptop.
I feel emulation shouldn’t be frowned upon, but rather encouraged. I don’t believe in pirating, but more so, I also don’t believe in scalping and ripping people off. I feel whoever owns these IPs like let’s say Nintendo for example, hate that people found a way, but they also abandoned older, iconic hardware and have not continued printing carts to older consoles. To me, since they’ve abandoned hardware, then I feel emulation is fair game. If I want to go play Tetris on NES, I can’t go buy it, that’s why emulation is a way to go
At 7:15 you spoke about the 3DO and alone in the dark, but the footage you showed was actually from Another World on the Amiga. Just letting you know. Apart from that, nice video 👍🏻
Thanks for yet another great video . This is a must buy for me, for just the Atari 8 bit alone . You just made my Birthday and Christmas. Thanks again .
My first console was the Mattel Intellivision. I've kept it up and well-cared for, even until now. For a lot of people the controller was a deal-breaker, but knowing no comparison I loved it. I practiced and played it so much I cound make that controller disc dance. My two favorite games were Night Stalker and Tron Deadly Discs...
Yeah, I got Intellivision when it first came out. Wore the shit out of those controllers. The Football game alone was insane compared to anything else. You had offensive and defensive formations to choose from, you can pick your receiver as well. Way ahead of its time. My favorite 1-player games were Tron Deadly Discs and Dungeons and Dragons. Night Stalker was really good too. Oh, and Lock N Chase was the shit.
My feelings towards emulation have adjusted over the years. Unfortunately at some point and time, all of our systems and games will not work. I'm sure there is many ways to be able to keep them going or repair them but at some point, for most folks, they won't work anymore. I love the official classic systems that have come out as it's a way to feed that collector in me but with something like this and having what seems to be as close to unlimited amount of games to play and preserved, it's not a bad alternative and a lot kinder on the wallet. Looking at the current prices of retro video games and it not slowing down, it may be a great alternative for folks to play something they haven't ever been able for the numerous reasons we all can relate to. Other than the classic systems, I haven't really ventured into this world. I'm glad when I'm ready, it's an option that won't cost an astronomical amount. The Saturn, dreamcast and 64 seem to have the toughest time being emulated. I know there's options out there that come close but it seems really difficult to perfect. 🤟🔥🎃
Considering you can find many working Atari 2600 out there i think most systems could work until we die. There is also hardware emulation with FPGA where you built a chip that behaves like the original hardware. So you don't have to care much about the hardware. As about games, cartridge and disk can last until the end of our lives but we already have the roms for most old games that we can put in other cartridges.
@@SIPEROTH Well another point I want to bring up, is a lot of ROM cartridge based systems have less moving parts than more recent systems that use CD/DVDs meaning there are less things that can break or stop working.
Sensible world of soccer, Syndicate, Gianni Sisters, superfrog, Defender of the crown great memories of my first gaming devices c64 with cassettes and Amiga 500, that were great times 😊
Even with duplicates, snd some 3D games struggling such as Panzer Dragoon.. These are about $100. For people like me. I've moved on from collecting/investing time and money in retro. But I still love to play what i grew up with at home and arcades.. Not to shabby....
Best system I love it. Haters are white entitled spoon in the mouth white little rich kids. And I loath you. I love this system. Games growing up I would die for. Haters of this are white kids who got everything
Reminds me of those DS pirate carts you could buy that promised 300 games and there were perhaps 2 or 3 actual DS games then hundreds of duplicates of NES games to fill the remainder of the cart up.
Hey great video. Quick question. I am quite interested in the ZX Spectrum and ZX 81 games. I have the previos generation but can't seem to get anything to work on the Sinclair or Atari ST side of things Seems to be something to do with the emulation and keyboard interface. Can you connect a PC keyboard to the console to allow these games to work. I would be very interested to know your experiences and if you can operate these emulators.
WOW! What can I say! Over 100,000 games! That's incredible although I've seen and played a lot of these classics I have fond memories of the Castlevania series as well as the Berserk/Frenzy games this one incredible unit definitely a stocking stuffer for any classic gamer😜🎄🌟Thanks for the video and Happy Holidays🎄🌟
Its illegal to back up music CDs and resell them without handing over the physical original, Its illegal to back up computer software and resell it without handing over the physical original.
I need to grab one of these someday, already for Turbografx games alone, plus other gems, I've seen countless vids of cool games I wanna play and they're never available on anything except that mini console.
I have over 70 game systems and games on my PC and only have about 60,000 games there must be a lot of repeat games on this or like same games but different versions like Japanese, USA and so on??
That's great emulation quality for one of these repurposed TV boxes. Android 9 gives away when the chip is from. Seems they're finally getting to chips that can run 3d games. Issues with n64 and saturn are expected until we get to flagship level chips
Can anyone explain how to actually play games that require swapping disk and using a mouse when, all you have, is a game controler? How, for exemple, do you make your mouse arrow appear and move it into the game? How do you
Super Console X2? I have seen other videos of this box and perfect it's not. What good it's buying some cheap system if it's full of problems like faulty emulation in higher end systems, cheap controllers, etc. Them Chinese are flooding the market with their cheap crap! I'll buy none of it no way I'm giving them my business. Anyway good review and cool video John!👍 Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving Day 'bro!🦃
Which would you recommend between this one or super console x pro. Wanted to get one for my kids for Christmas and could you make a video showing n64 game list
This looks almost too good to be true. If the rumours are true then I might consider purchasing this device if: - it has a UK 3-pin power adaptor - you can play it on a clapped-out Acer Aspire E15 Start laptop that is increasingly on life support - the Mega Drive/Genesis games list including the EA releases, in particular NHL 94 - there is scope for 4 players to allow for playing NHL 94 - the instruction manual, such as it is, follows proper English grammar - it can play Donkey Kong. That is a supreme requirement for my personal satisfaction quotient, it doesn't matter which system it's on If any one of these conditions are met, then don't be too surprised if the next sound you hear is me typing out "Super Console X2" in the Amazon search bar. In the meantime, thanks for letting me informed about this potentially gamebreaking piece of machinery.
One of the biggest reason why is some of the games are not working is because they are using a really cheap SD card. Which is most likely corrupted. And who the hell is going to test 107.000. either it's dad or they are being deceptive. Making you think it's got that many games on it but actually it's only got around 10 to 15000 that actually work
Hi John ! is it possible to take off the frame of the console to which the game belongs while playing and make the screen without this frame? Is there anything in the settings that takes it away? Thank you very much in advance for your reply. I look forward to it
Do you think that the Pro version of the device would run some of the games you mentioned a bit better? On the page you linked there are a few options, just wondering what would be a solid choice.
Eta prime covered this and it isnt the best for performance. Games like chains of olympus on psp cant run at full speed, and theres many many other similar technically advanced games that the device cant play well
Dude, I am poor. I have been doing emulation since 2004. I about shit my pants when I found MAME. And I can not get all emulators to work. I would love to get one of these. Wife is a gamer so she wants this too. :)
Great content has always! Hope Dreamcast play well on it, but I'm disappointed that Saturn cannot run on it. Does it have some PS2 games on it? Foe the rest, I will definitely tcheck out the price of it since I don't want to spend money on original hardware because some can be faulty over time.
Would have liked to know the overall ease of use. Is this a thing I could buy for a friend with limited tech skills that they could actuslly use... or is it useless without tweaks and geeky skills? Playable out of the box with zero tweaks or mods?
Thx for the video. Do you know what is the difference between the X2 and the X2 Pro? And has anybody a clue if the 64GB version is enough for the PS1, SNES, N64 Games? There is no information which game is on which version. Thx in advance:)
Hi I just bought the x2 pro and it does have the 256 gb card but only has 65,000 games but all the videos I watch say 107,000 am I doing something wrong ??
sometimes we have to go a little further for our voice when the tuff gets tuff ... lets do it like the emulators that we have here they work if you can make a video of that it would be nice
so are these older Intellivison games built in? If so, how do the controllers handle the games being that the Intellivision controllers were MUCH different.
Most of them are crap, and won't really even work. You know these Chinese pirates didn't test 100,000 games. They probably didn't even test all the emulators. But, for $70, if you get a day of fun out of it, it's worth it.
Good afternoon if you are reading this a problem has been happening to me with the console I enter a game I know the new super mario bros ds or any game everything is fine but the control does not respond it does nothing I don't know if you know anything the console I bought on amazon because my parents don't buy on aliexpress and don't know that's why this error happens to me thanks for reading and If my English is bad it's because I'm using Google Translate thanks

That PSP emulation looks smooth!

I agree. I was thinking " i don't want 100000 garbage games, I just want the top few hundred "
One of the upsides of the these things is that there is a save anytime feature for some of the long older games that had no password or battery such as kid chameleon for genesis
Got the X2-PRO last week for 100. Bluetoothed a PS4 DS to it, job done. Well worth the money just for all the ROMs alone, backed up to an external drive to play on my laptop.
I absolutely adored Dark Wizard. I used to thoroughly explore every battlefield to try to find all the goodies.

Wow it's my birthday today, and you just showed blue max! This is a game I played as a kid on my dad's home atari. Made me well up ❤️
I wish they would pre install the game genie codes with these systems. Some of those Nes games are hard as hell
That's disgraceful. I need at LEAST 110,000 games.
😂😂😂
The fact they added hacks, openbor and atomiswave is pretty cool regardless of the device itself, they covered alot.
Are the games pre-loaded?
The menu is really nice
These are my favorite reviews on your channel. You should do some specials where you see how many realigned or localized games you can find!
At 7:15 you spoke about the 3DO and alone in the dark, but the footage you showed was actually from Another World on the Amiga. Just letting you know. Apart from that, nice video 👍🏻
Dude. There's so many on amazon, IDK what one to get. Do you have a model you recommend?
I think this is the KinHank Super Console X2 Pro. I got mine off of Amazon for $110 😄👍... oh and that is the 256GB model
Thanks for yet another great video . This is a must buy for me, for just the Atari 8 bit alone . You just made my Birthday and Christmas. Thanks again .

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was a favorite of mine. Astrosmash, Demon Attack, Star Strike, and Sub Hunt were bangers, too.
Seems it should come with the emus already setup.
Nice vid! So, overall do you think it's worth it, or would you suggest any other units out there to get instead with the same volume of games? Thanks!
3:35 Holy crap, I totally forgot about the old Pocket Pikachu! Good times. Made my mom drive all over the city to find one back in the day lol
Looks very similar to RetroPie. Interesting device.

Old generations have been saved with emulation. New generations won't be so lucky.
When I first read the title, I thought: 106 999 Pong clones plus one good game.
Glad to see I was wrong.
Sensible world of soccer, Syndicate, Gianni Sisters, superfrog, Defender of the crown great memories of my first gaming devices c64 with cassettes and Amiga 500, that were great times 😊

You aren't purchasing the license to play any of these games. The only difference between this and piracy is that some chinese dude is making $50.
Been looking for a good box with more games. Thx John! Great video.
John! Got mine in the mail today. I am a happy camper. Got it on Amazon. Much better that the DX Pandora.
It’s selling for 30 dollars now it’s a no brainer at that price.it’s a convenient and cheap way to play retro games
Thank you for this review, my son wanted a new Ouya type console for christmas because he remembered playing retro games with me on it!
Good stuff, John. I always find these devices interesting. Thanks for the video.
'endless aftertaste'! lovely!
Was looking into buying this, glad you let us know about Saturn not working ! Appreciate it
The xbox series x is great for saturn
What is the difference between this model and the X3 plus? It appears the the x3 plus is better but is it missing something that this X2 has?
107,000 games only? I've played the massive 99999999 in 1 cartrage for marriage era 😂
I had a Colecovision back in the day. Wish I still did.
107,000 games? Instead of the X2, they should have named it the Super Console BLH, with the BLH standing for 'Backlog Hell.' Lol.
Lol
Bounce around and play games for 30 seconds each: the console.
Best system I love it. Haters are white entitled spoon in the mouth white little rich kids. And I loath you. I love this system. Games growing up I would die for. Haters of this are white kids who got everything
I bet you are white.
As Arnold would say "STOP WHINING" This is amazing value
Great review. Thanks John.
Definitely you keep it positive John!😜
blue max!! i loved those games as a kid!
That certainly wake memories from ones childhood 7:18
this is a tight package of a linux program called batocera
I’m totally gonna order one!!!!!!!
Awesome review Mr Hancock!!!!!!
And all for the price af a LED Flat screen tv amazing
Reminds me of those DS pirate carts you could buy that promised 300 games and there were perhaps 2 or 3 actual DS games then hundreds of duplicates of NES games to fill the remainder of the cart up.
Ah that's a shame, you had me completely sold until you said the Saturn games didn't work. Understandable, but a deal breaker for me.

Looks good...and like $70, so if you want to play all those classics again, and easy way to do it.
107,000 ads on this vid.
I need to grab one of these someday, already for Turbografx games alone, plus other gems, I've seen countless vids of cool games I wanna play and they're never available on anything except that mini console.
Is there somewhere I can just grab the files? I already have a bragging rights PC but that collection seems pretty neat.
Been on the fence with this. Heard lots of cons.
To bad Sega Saturn didn't work
I have over 70 game systems and games on my PC and only have about 60,000 games there must be a lot of repeat games on this or like same games but different versions like Japanese, USA and so on??
Yeah lots of region differences
An interesting video showing what games you can play. As a non gamer I would have liked to have seen a review of the TV function.
Well that's okay. As a non Gamer you can try watch paint dry and grass growing
Does it have a complete collection of the Commodore Amiga games? Does it also have Dragons Lair and Space Ace?
I liked cannon fodder on the commador amega.
That's great emulation quality for one of these repurposed TV boxes. Android 9 gives away when the chip is from. Seems they're finally getting to chips that can run 3d games. Issues with n64 and saturn are expected until we get to flagship level chips

Hello there, do you have a video on how to add games and emulator and make some better changes to this little console?
NES and SEGA Genesis for me
Great unboxing and review John 👍👍
100 Canadian for all the game systems and games I never had as a kid.
Nice video sir. I got 2 different types of these android game boxes and I was disappointed. My next one will be one of those mini pc ones.

Problem I have is it becomes a TV with too many channels issue..I spend an hour just switching
And where's the TurboGrafx family? They don't even have the TurboGrafx-16! Nor the PC Engine 2!! The FRICK?!
Do you think that the Pro version of the device would run some of the games you mentioned a bit better?

No idea

No ps2
@@johnhancockretro thanks for the answer.
How do the big companies make make by selling these retro games. Anyways is it worth it?
I have almost all of theese on my Tab S8 Ultra, but great vid
Why would you need the mouse to play on this? I don't understand
Why do none of these emulation boxes ever have Jaguar games on it?
Would have liked to know the overall ease of use. Is this a thing I could buy for a friend with limited tech skills that they could actuslly use... or is it useless without tweaks and geeky skills? Playable out of the box with zero tweaks or mods?
Fairly straightforward, but menus per emulator might need a few tweaks. Some skills help when using a device to be honest.
What did you have to "tweak" to get Nintendo64 to work?
Thx for the video. Do you know what is the difference between the X2 and the X2 Pro? And has anybody a clue if the 64GB version is enough for the PS1, SNES, N64 Games? There is no information which game is on which version. Thx in advance:)
Any Little Big planet or adventures of sackboy or mario games?
Hi I just bought the x2 pro and it does have the 256 gb card but only has 65,000 games but all the videos I watch say 107,000 am I doing something wrong ??
Oh, so in other words the creators of this console want to get sued by *everybody.*
sometimes we have to go a little further for our voice when the tuff gets tuff ... lets do it like the emulators that we have here they work if you can make a video of that it would be nice
Is it possible to get all the roms off the console , might be an easy way to get them on my steam deck.
On certain games can you save your progress?
Does it have a good amount of rpgs and Pokémon games besides the minis?
so are these older Intellivison games built in? If so, how do the controllers handle the games being that the Intellivision controllers were MUCH different.
Well uses a virtual number pad input and for many games totally playable.
107K games? That's a lot to choose what game I want It took me hours to decide and that just too much!

Does it have WWF SUPERSTARS and WWF wrestlefest ? Can you please let me know?
Can u use another type of Bluetooth controller besides the ones that come with the console?
The ones included are wi-fi. I've connected a PS4 DS to my X2 Pro console.
