Good video. Its sad but a fact, there are more Fakes online to find than authentic ones. Only positive thing about that is that the authentic ones are getting very valuable for collectors in the upcoming years.
This is so sad. I've been looking for a NES CLASSIC MINI and a SNES CLASSIC MINI for a long time.And there are so many fakes that look so similar to the originals that I dont even know what to do.The worst thing is that when you find a original one it's so expensive, beyond the 200 and 300 dollars.I guess I'll never have the original ones 😢
When you were showing the backside of the controller plug, the fake was not only missing the required CE amongst other things, but it used Phillips head screws and not tri-wing.
One thing not mentioned, but your fake one had a much longer controller cable when the original (16 or 18) were notorious for how short the controller cables were.
I just got a knock off version on eBay they put the right pictures of the cords but then when I get it it's not the same cords And the menu doesn't change the language or there's no legal statement or QR Code
Didn't you notice that the fake has 5 games displayed in the game select menu? The real one has only 4..... The fake also had a full screen when you played Galaga
No, they are lazy. I’ve seen one fake with completely wrong shape power adapter on which they stick a Nintendo logo on the side. That’s all their improvements
Almost same. 2018 Edition has more powerful cord and power adapter so they can be used for hacking it and support a flash drive with more games. If you not going to hack - same
Hi folks. May I ask what is the reason not to buu this fake ones? I never had any,played a little as a kid,and got an idea to get one to my son. I am looking and online stores and see that they sell suppously original for 200-300 bucks,and the fake ones for 30-40$. Again,whats the problems with fake version? Cheers!
yea the fakes are getting good lately even with ds games on pokemon games the fakers have been watching how to spot a fake videos too make the perfect ds bootleg games
@@SlSU.0 no, you may buy one relatively cheap locally on offer up if you find a deal and live in a big city. This way you can also inspect it personally
@@JOHNXTOPS I would suggest then to keep new original in tact for collection/reselling later. And for playing yourself - buy a used original on ebay, you can easily find for below $100 without box.
I bought a nes mini for 90 bucks, the console was real, but the cords and controller are not. The buttons are really shitty, i cant dodge in punchout it makes it unplayable
I'm Antonio from Italy, i know the game "GALAGA" mith arcade game. I have the Ninteno "fake", from Ebay for only 15 euros. Low price and many funny games !!!
@@alegreviews Have you tried to disassemble and insert a flash card with ROMs inside? There is a video on the Internet that inside there is a microSD flash card with ROMs
@darthputinsidious9282 I’ve seen one of those, it changed to crazy list menu and wasn’t working well. Fakes also use garbage materials, even such things as wiring, they break down quickly. You can buy a used original NES for like $80 and do proper modding with saving and everything. There is no reason to buy a fake. Unless you got it as a gift or bought a while ago and too late to return. Or it was like $20. Chinese probably sell them wholesale for like $10
Also, the controller screws on the ports of the real controllers use a proprietary tri tipped screw and the fakes use a regular Philips.
True
Very helpful 👍🏽

@@alegreviews, do you know where to buy authentic SNES console?
Got an authentic nes classic for only 160
I guess I am really lucky for a discount for a real nes mini for 150 bucks
I have 10 Authentic NES Classics but they are all Modded.
Cool. There is a to remove hakchi or/and remodify it if you need
When you were showing the backside of the controller plug, the fake was not only missing the required CE amongst other things, but it used Phillips head screws and not tri-wing.
I have the 2018 edition of this console. Thank you for this informative info!
I am glad to help
something I noticed that nobody pointed out in every fake comparison. the cardboard ridges of the box are always horizontal on the fakes.
We need a ps1 classic fake vs original! Thanks for your videos
thank You for the request. To be honest with You - I have not seen fake PS1, also haven't seen fake Sega mini or TurbografX-16.
2016 and Fake are really hard to tell by box, only when You check inside.
Thank you very much buddy, I just got my Mini Nes and this video help me a lot. Everything is okay in my system 🙏🏻🇨🇴🇨🇦🔥🎮
You are probably luckier than most !!! Congratulations !!! Enjoy !!!
No matter how close the box is, you can tell almost immediately when you turn on the console.
true
I would always ask someone on eBay when there selling the product to provide more pictures as proof and such as that
also confirm with sellers that pictures are theirs. Some sellers use stock pictures or just copy them from someone
One thing not mentioned, but your fake one had a much longer controller cable when the original (16 or 18) were notorious for how short the controller cables were.
Yes. That’s the only thing that the fake one is better with. Fakes however don’t won’t with wireless ones
My dad ordered the NES Mini (PAL version) on Amazon for me in 2018 as a Christmas gift and I was lucky that it was not a counterfeit.
there were more original online back in 2018, now it gets harder and harder to get
@@alegreviews Oh. Good point there.
The fake ones menu music is messed up
yes, this is very common among fakes.
Fake box has horizontal corrugation and the real has vertical.
I just bought one hopefully it's original
You have this video to help you out to figure that
thanks yes look to be genuine
I just got a knock off version on eBay they put the right pictures of the cords but then when I get it it's not the same cords And the menu doesn't change the language or there's no legal statement or QR Code
I recently saw a fake with all that. But you still see it is fake. Chevk with sellers if they use their own pictures
You can tell the fake ones online by the price. A real one runs you $200 a fake one runs for $30.
Some people try to sell fakes for 100-150. And you can sometimes see people selling original around that price.
If you're paying more than 100usd for a real one you're paying too much
@Thalyy36 impossible to find in new condition for below $100. Used ones - possible
@@alegreviews Brand new yeah, but you can find used ones in a great condition for that price.
Yes, used ones possible
Didn't you notice that the fake has 5 games displayed in the game select menu? The real one has only 4..... The fake also had a full screen when you played Galaga
I missed several things. Some other fakes have some things closer to original but some other different.
I got the same fake
I feel sorry for you. Try to return to the seller, if you still can
I bet the companies that make these watch these vids to improve the products
No, they are lazy. I’ve seen one fake with completely wrong shape power adapter on which they stick a Nintendo logo on the side. That’s all their improvements
congratulations my angel
You are welcome !
What's better the 2016 or the 2018 model
Almost same. 2018 Edition has more powerful cord and power adapter so they can be used for hacking it and support a flash drive with more games. If you not going to hack - same
@@alegreviews thanks for the info

oh, wow I didn't know that got to DS already, what's next: fake switches?
Does the 2018 hdmi cable have the nintendo logo on it ?
yes, NES 2016, 2018 and SNES Classics have Nintendo logo on one of the 4 sides of the HDMI cord
@@alegreviews thank you
Excelente video Thank you
You are welcome!
Thank you very much
I am glad to be helpful. Thank You for watching !!!
What was the paper the 2018 version didn't have that the 2016 did?
some Nintendo paper with a code, maybe 5$ coupon for Nintendo shop or something like that.
My wireless controller didn't pair. After a short while I figured out that I must have a fake NES
Fake NES/SNES usually do not work with authentic controllers as well as wireless controllers.
They're bastards.
I have a real nes classic, but with fake controllers because I lost the real controller.
I liked Yok brand the most out of 3rd party controllers
Everything I have seen so far has that same serial number
vast majority of fakes have same one, you are right
Meow
How do I access all the other games on the system ?
it only comes with 30. Press Reset button to save game progress and get to main game selection
If your serial number is SN: CU202034896 - it is a fake!
Can the fake be modded?
no
Can you send me a link to buy the 2018 NES Classic?

@@alegreviews thanks im gonna buy one for Christmas
@@alegreviews do you know anyone or any other place that has authentic ones
@@SlSU.0 no, you may buy one relatively cheap locally on offer up if you find a deal and live in a big city. This way you can also inspect it personally

thank You !
I think mines is a fake didn't come with the cat
hello can you pass me the link of the fake console.
I do not sell those. There are plenty on ebay, no reason to buy a fake when You can buy an original used around the same price on ebay.
@@alegreviews is that I already have the original and I do not want to remove it from the shit because I have it as a collection
@@JOHNXTOPS I would suggest then to keep new original in tact for collection/reselling later. And for playing yourself - buy a used original on ebay, you can easily find for below $100 without box.

Obrigado.
I also have a similar video about NES Classic
I bought a nes mini for 90 bucks, the console was real, but the cords and controller are not. The buttons are really shitty, i cant dodge in punchout it makes it unplayable
Is the controller real?
i got real nes classic in walmart from last year i didnt get fake one
You are lucky. Because all walmart stores I’ve seen sold out early 2019.
Or have you bought it online from third party seller?
@@alegreviews i brought in 2021

Wow, that fake plays and sounds really bad!
Some fakes may sound more or less ok, some don’t have sound in most games. All messed up nevertheless
fake nes working snes and gba, genesis games ???
You cannot add games to fakes, they come with 30 NES games, some often not working
