The sticky gunk was supposed to give it a sort of soft-grip, almost velvety sort of feel. These things feel nice new, but inevitably degrade into sticky goo over time, inside the package or not. You can either combat the goo by rubbing talcum powder into it, or take it off by taking it apart and using a strong solvent like turpentine on the pieces covered in goo. Similar goo is also found on some early Thinkpad laptops, Apple Newtons, and some mice.
Actually, in France, the manufacturer Videojet sold a LOT of Conny's Pocket Dream Console (Even a Ninja Turtles console...). But their design was a little bit different, and some of them even got 200 games built into them. Conny even made, in 2009, a console with a touchscreen, called the MI2, known in Europe by the name "PDC Touch", and sold once again by Videojet.
raafmaat i was born in 2000, i came to a friend house to play Mario Kart double dash in 2006 , since then i wanted a gamecube for my 6th birthday , but i got this :(
Wing GT ohhh haha, thats tough! so... your 16 now right? did you ever get a gamecube yourself afterwards? I would actually recommend a super nintendo though, best system ;)
The pinball game is a crappy version of Mario Pinball Land; I was recently playing that game so I recognize the font, the coin design and the font (which Mario Pinball Land got from Mario 64 itself). The Flippers look like they could be direct ripoffs too, but theres not a lot of detail to those to steal haha.
I believe the "sticky" problem is due to the age of the rubbery grip/shock absorbing substance. As a cinema (not game) collector I can speak for the "Juice Box Personal Media Player" that was made between 2004-2005 and unfortunately used a rubbery substance to encase the system. The first one I bought secondhand and I assumed the stickiness was due to dirty kid hands constantly playing with it, but it wasn't until I bought one still in its package that I realized it was getting sticky simply due to the age of the rubber. So chances are The Pocket Dream Console was not sticky to begin with, but over the years became that way.
Me and my brother are uploading old ads and stuff we recorded on VHS back in the day, and we actually found the old Juice Box ad! I remember seeing it and thinking it looked cool, but i guess i never had the courage to ask for one! There's a bunch of 2000s ads here but the juicebox one is at the 5:00 mark: th-cam.com/video/lQqIA_Cskfs/w-d-xo.html
There is a pretty good reason why Nintendo doesn't ever put any kind of video outputs on their handhelds. Obviously their first portable was the GameBoy. At the time the GameBoy was created it would have been prohibitive to add video out on the GB since it would have taken some special hardware and software to convert the GB's low resolution, dot matrix output to a TV and Nintendo wanted to develop it as cheaply as possible. Then the Super GameBoy came out a few years later and Nintendo realized that instead of adding this feature into their portables for probably no extra money, they could keep the feature absent and then put out a device to play them on a TV through a home console that the user would also need to buy. They did this same thing with the GBA on the GameCube. The dual screens of the DS and 3DS have complicated this, but I assume they would have done it again if it was possible. So basically, they can add video output to the portable for probably no extra money, or they can sell peripherals that also push their home consoles to play portables on TV. Its pretty much a no-brainer.
Nah, I am just a dangerous combination of fast typer and long-winded. And actually my long comments rarely get liked probably because few people commit to reading them.
I do like all the options the DS games on the Wii U VC gives you for the screen placement. There's already a small gap in between the screens on the DS systems so I've got no problem using my Wii U gamepad for the touchscreen & my TV for the top screen since I can use the speakers on the screen where the action is going on & mute the speakers for the screen where nothing is going on.
+Han Daimond It's always fun to spot the stolen sprites on things like this :) 3:32 "Robotic horse game" has enemies ripped off from Goof Troop on SNES. The pirates have a beak and tail drawn over them, the bees have wings and a tail attached, and the snakes have weird alien antennae lol.
In my opinion, getting a handheld game system without a cartridge slot or a download function is pointless... Why would I want to get this thing in 2006 when the Game Boy Advance was already out for 5 years and still getting great games? If I wanted more games for this I'd be screwed, if I wanted more games for the GBA I'd just go out and buy them... (There's also the flash cart option btw)
***** Thanks for the reply! Did you know there's also a handheld Sega Genesis that is actually licensed by Sega? And no, I'm not talking about the Nomad... You can even download Roms for it and the Master system, put them on an SD card and put that on the system, and I've heard it's actually pretty cool, I don't remember the name of the system but you should look it up, it would make for an awesome review! And the best part, it's not pointless!
+Ruko Michiharu Is that what this is? www.amazon.com/SEGA-Genesis-Ultimate-Portable-Player-Built-/dp/B017S4B554/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1458925528&sr=8-2&keywords=sega+genesis+portable
Hi, I can explain to you the reason for so many breakout games. They're probably the easiest thing to make. I'm learning to become a videogame developer and my first game was a breakout clone just because they're so simple. Give someone an hour, and they could make a breakout clone or two.
I've bought this console back in the day, it's not so bad. Nothing like pop station anyway. The best use of this is to plug in the tv and let the roulette roll in the background
This is really one of the best video game youtuber voices I've ever heard. Unlike so many of the other ones, it's not squeaky, or nasally, or grating; it's just right, and very listenable. I'm gonna subscribe just for that.
To get rid of that sticky residue, use 99% isopropyl alcohol. Put some on a cloth and rub it against the sticky surface. I had the same issue with a few old controllers. Removes the sticky film.
It’s strange how calm he is even when talking about terrible games, almost like his first Wireless 60 review. It’s strangely nostalgic although I prefer it when he’s losing his mind lmao.
in the early 2000's a lot of electronics equipment had a certain kind of rubberized coating that didn't age well, I have a set of speakers that had the same coating, and after a number of years the coating basically mixes so that rather than the inside sticking to the product surface and the outside being sealed, it's all sticky. I found that if careful and with a damp cloth, you can actually wash/scrub away the coating, which sucks since it ends up just being plain plastic underneath, but less sketchy than the grossness of the rubber coating.
That beat em up had Clark Still in it. Well I'm sure it's not actually him but they look very similar. Not surprising since Takara did port a lot of the Neo Geo games like Fatal Fury, The Art of Fighting and King of the Monster 1&2 as well as Samurai Shodown to Snes and the Genesis/Megadrive.
+Rerez This is something I have run into more times than I can count. Sometimes from entirely different decades. You'd think chemical engineers would learn but they don't.
The US version is a bit different. The games are mostly the same but the categories are arranged slightly differently. It is nice knowing that other people acknowledge its existence though.
The 'boxes and switches' game is based on Sokoban, released on Japanese NEC PCs in the 80s, but its been ported to basically everything in one form or another.
Wait a second! The cars in the game about the Robot horse at 3:45 are clearly the truck of the shipping worker from Harvest Moon for the SNES! Thinking about it the fountain at 3:50 and the fence at 4:03 in the same game are also from Harvest Moon for the SNES!
That's because it clearly used ripped sprites from Goof Troop and slightly altered them: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-1W2fhdq-VL0/UClSu89tMrI/AAAAAAAAHw0/WH6AAliJ7_I/s1600/DisneyGoofTroop-620x.jpg
If it had a working Tetris, maybe it would have fared better, but the limit of the library compared to the Game Boy family really sunk it before it could even shine.
4:40 Ignoring the assault on my ears, my question is why the death animation depicts the girl getting electrocuted. That enemy doesn’t really look like something that is electrical.
Bom-ber man? Never heard it pronounced like that! No, he uses "bombs", so he's *bomb*-er man (bahm-er man). Anyway, I've seen these online for around $10, so might be worth getting for that wait in the doctor's office... JW3HH
OMG I HAVE ONE THESE WHEN I WAS A CHILDREN,the only problem i have with that back then was the fact that use AAA battery,and they are expensive and hard to find back then..............
1:02 - I think most people know it best as Zuma (even though PopCap didn't invent it). 1:17 - The box-pushing game is a Sokoban clone. 9:03 - The "ancient tabletop game" is Gomuku. 3:29 - Maybe the apple-eating robot horse is a reference to the Canard Digérateur. 🤔 4:46 - Downwell this ain't.
2:57 the stats (lives, health, coins, etc.) sprites were stolen directly from Rayman! I can't believe a big company like Takara would make such a shady console.
The puzzle game at 2:02 is a ripoff of the GBA game Denki Blocks. In fact I'm pretty certain that one of the stages there was taken straight from that one. The rally racing game's car was taken from V-Rally 3, also on GBA. They did seem to upscale it and clean it up a bit, but it's the same car (a Volkswagen Golf) I'm also certain that the gems on the Columns clone were taken from Columns Crown (GBA), albeit with some recolors. I'm amazed nobody at Takara noticed any of that, especially considering all three of those games came out in Japan.
This has a lot of "borrowed" sprites in it. Especially noticeable in the side scrolling fighter. The sprites do not even seem to match each other in terms of style and the main character you were controlling is Clark Still from the King of Fighters franchise.
i had one of those... the games were very crappy/sloppy... really like those 100-in-one type of games, most of them only had 1 level, and the ones with multiple levels also didnt were very good. i am actually suprised by this video the games look pretty good, maybe that system was a bit different, the one i had came from a toy store in the netherlands, the case looked different and the games were also not the same as in this video. but it costed 25 euro. it was also a bit bigger, and the shoulder buttons were solid, not squishy
The block-matching game is identical to Denki Blocks on the GBC, GBA, and PSP; having completed Denki Blocks for the GBC, I can definitely agree that these type of puzzle games are really difficult.
Just realized - that pinball game uses the same font for the numbers from the Mario GBA Pinball Game... I think it was Mario Pinball Land or something? (Which, in turn uses the Mario 64 styled number font).
3:44 The bird-pirates from the robot horse-game are ripped straight off of SNES game Goof Troop with beaks and feathers added. I have also seen the same sprite used somewhere else, but can't exactly remember where.
+Rerez Did any of the games remind you of the Air60 or Wireless Air60? Some the games on this system looked to have been taken or slightly modified or used from other memory only systems. Games like the Bomber Man clone or the one where you destroy gems in a spiral or the racing games or the fish game seem to pop up on multiple cheap consoles from many manufacturers.
+referral madness The Game Gear didn't have an AV output originally, although it can be modded to have one. Maybe you're thinking of the Game Gear TV Tuner? It allowed the user to watch broadcast TV on the Game Gear screen.
Another fantastic video! I've been binge-watching Rerez and I love it when I get a notification saying that a new video's been posted because I know it's going to be high quality, entertaining and hosted by Shane, a guy that seems totally genuine (a rarity these days!)
The sticky gunk was supposed to give it a sort of soft-grip, almost velvety sort of feel. These things feel nice new, but inevitably degrade into sticky goo over time, inside the package or not. You can either combat the goo by rubbing talcum powder into it, or take it off by taking it apart and using a strong solvent like turpentine on the pieces covered in goo.
Similar goo is also found on some early Thinkpad laptops, Apple Newtons, and some mice.

No offense but your parents are kind of cheap in my opinion not to be rude

Wing GT
ohhh haha, thats tough!
so... your 16 now right? did you ever get a gamecube yourself afterwards? I would actually recommend a super nintendo though, best system ;)
The sticky-ness issue is probably caused by plastic aging. It’s probably the same issue that affects the Gizmondo.
I've never understood why more portable gaming system don't have A/V output. Being able to plug it into any TV would be a very marketable feature imo.
The pinball game is a crappy version of Mario Pinball Land; I was recently playing that game so I recognize the font, the coin design and the font (which Mario Pinball Land got from Mario 64 itself).

The first thing I thought was ashens pop station alert!!!
This is a serious review of a pop station
Did anyone else notice at 2:50 the game stole the HUD font from the first Rayman game? Just wanted to point that out.
no, I noticed it too, and it's so weird seeing it on another game
They also had these in a local toy chain in Spain. I thought they were somewhat cool, but after seeing this review, yeah, thank god I didn't buy one.
If its sticky, would that not make it "The Pocket Wet Dream Console"? (sorry, I could not resist!) XP
i remember having one of these. It wasn't bad tbh. I really liked it
1:06 Or as it's even better known, Zuma.
Or if you played DS or Wii, Magnetica Or ActionLoop.
Omg, Shane i can tell how hard you work on this vids man keep on making more and don't stop the live streams you knew we love it.
Those graphics are bright and colorful. I like it.

Are the pirate sprites from that horse game borrowed from the goof troop game for SNES? If not then they look really close.
ThatGuyJames It was. Just modified the sprite quite a bit.
5:04 switch comes the next year* Conwensadence I THINK NOT
Shane: Cactuses
Perfectionists: ITS CACTI YOU DUNCE BIG FAIL THATS AN F- FOR YOU
I had this console. There was a toys retailer in Spain called Jugettos (kinda the Spanish Toys'R'Us) that sold this as it's own console
Whoa whoa whoa, that game at 2:49 uses floor tiles stolen from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and edited destroyable blocks as floating platforms!
in the early 2000's a lot of electronics equipment had a certain kind of rubberized coating that didn't age well, I have a set of speakers that had the same coating, and after a number of years the coating basically mixes so that rather than the inside sticking to the product surface and the outside being sealed, it's all sticky. I found that if careful and with a damp cloth, you can actually wash/scrub away the coating, which sucks since it ends up just being plain plastic underneath, but less sketchy than the grossness of the rubber coating.
you know what? at first I didn't care for your style but after a few videos it's grown on me. subbed
The game at 1:20 was a clone of a puzzle game for the Game Boy (Original) called 'Kwirk'.
3:01. They ripped the life and coins counter from Rayman (PS1)
I noticed that too.
What a shame, Takara has some really nice stuff out there. I'd like something exactly like that, but that runs emulators.
Old Game Box Look into Raspberry Pi Mini
3:30 hey those chicken pirates are just the dog pirates from Goof Troop on the snes but with a beak and a tail!
Bom-burr-man
For the first action game they "borrowed" an sprite from KOF for the main character. I think it's Clark, but it also have a ressemblance with Terry.
That beat em up had Clark Still in it. Well I'm sure it's not actually him
but they look very similar.
Not surprising since Takara did port a lot of the Neo Geo games like
Fatal Fury, The Art of Fighting and King of the Monster 1&2 as well as Samurai Shodown
to Snes and the Genesis/Megadrive.
That pinball game ripped the numbers straight from Mario's Pinball Land/Super Mario 64!
I'd like someone who works in plastic engineering to come along and explain why that faceplate melts in your hands.
+Firevine I've since been told it's the rubberized cover they put on it. After a few years it just starts to degrade. Real forward thinking...
+Rerez I've had some rubber feet on varying electronics, and the rubber around the headphone jack on an old cell phone do the same.

Love seeing these weird lil handhelds. Great vid chap :)
The gnome game also uses the Rayman 1 font for some reason.
That girl's scream gave my dog a jump. lol.
If I didn't know better, the game featured @ 3:29 actually looks kinda like "Goof Troop" on the SNES!
That's because it clearly used ripped sprites from Goof Troop and slightly altered them: 1.bp.blogspot.com/-1W2fhdq-VL0/UClSu89tMrI/AAAAAAAAHw0/WH6AAliJ7_I/s1600/DisneyGoofTroop-620x.jpg

I'm amazed nobody at Takara noticed any of that, especially considering all three of those games came out in Japan.
This has a lot of "borrowed" sprites in it. Especially noticeable in the side scrolling fighter. The sprites do not even seem to match each other in terms of style and the main character you were controlling is Clark Still from the King of Fighters franchise.
i had one of those... the games were very crappy/sloppy... really like those 100-in-one type of games, most of them only had 1 level, and the ones with multiple levels also didnt were very good. i am actually suprised by this video the games look pretty good, maybe that system was a bit different, the one i had came from a toy store in the netherlands, the case looked different and the games were also not the same as in this video. but it costed 25 euro. it was also a bit bigger, and the shoulder buttons were solid, not squishy
That one side scroller shooter seemingly asset flipped an enemy from Twinbee SNES
The block-matching game is identical to Denki Blocks on the GBC, GBA, and PSP; having completed Denki Blocks for the GBC, I can definitely agree that these type of puzzle games are really difficult.
Now i realised that this third game "Gnome" has the HUD from the first Rayman game.
Just realized - that pinball game uses the same font for the numbers from the Mario GBA Pinball Game... I think it was Mario Pinball Land or something? (Which, in turn uses the Mario 64 styled number font).
Feeding frenzy is so good
sounds like it is sticky because it was probably a soft-touch plastic that degraded. I see this a lot on older cell phones and even some thinkpads
The second puzzle game is called Sokoban.
3:44 The bird-pirates from the robot horse-game are ripped straight off of SNES game Goof Troop with beaks and feathers added. I have also seen the same sprite used somewhere else, but can't exactly remember where.
+Rerez Did any of the games remind you of the Air60 or Wireless Air60? Some the games on this system looked to have been taken or slightly modified or used from other memory only systems. Games like the Bomber Man clone or the one where you destroy gems in a spiral or the racing games or the fish game seem to pop up on multiple cheap consoles from many manufacturers.
The Sega Nomad had video-out back in 1995! The Big-N was too busy Playing it Loud® to bother with it on the Game Boy back then I suppose.
+referral madness The Game Gear didn't have an AV output originally, although it can be modded to have one. Maybe you're thinking of the Game Gear TV Tuner? It allowed the user to watch broadcast TV on the Game Gear screen.
I'm pretty sure that the well in the horse action game is stollen directly from harvest moon SNES, but I might be wrong.
Reminds me of the GP2X
The Jump and Run has the Hud from Rayman for PS1.
Rare? They sell this at the intertoys here in the netherlands for 7,99 €. seriously.
Buy me one pleaseeeeeeeee

You can make a bundle selling to Americans online.
It sure is obscure though.
Another fantastic video! I've been binge-watching Rerez and I love it when I get a notification saying that a new video's been posted because I know it's going to be high quality, entertaining and hosted by Shane, a guy that seems totally genuine (a rarity these days!)
