Amazon doesn't exactly have an issue with these emulation handhelds, so either they sold out instantly (fair enough given the price) or Nintendo got extremely lazy lawyers that only go after things linked on channels with more than ~10k subs.

@@Unknown_GeniusI’ve found the same device is often more expensive than the same one on Ali express and temu on Amazon - I’ve ordered 2 similar devices off of Ali express both have been great particularly the powkiddy rgb 30
If you want a device like that that is actually good, check the PowKiddy X55, PowKiddy RGB30 or Trimui Smart Pro, both of the PowKiddy are using the same SoC, the Trimui is really similar, all three have actual good screen (all 720p, one of them 5.5", one 5" and one 1:1 aspect ratio), they all have good buttons (RGB30 could be better, but they're still okay) and they have a lot more support. Oh, they're also all cheaper, I think they're all around $60-70.
I got one but I sent it back. These are only $48-$60 on aliexpress. This company has some amazing ideas and they are making these for an amazing price. You cannot get a rk3566 device (which is the bare minimum for N64, PSP, Dreamcast, and Saturn to run well. The controller design was AMAZING, why are other manufacturers not making a controller style retro handheld with the 50 thousands different designs they have out. But they cannot get the entire device done right, the controls on the M25 were horrible. I have an M19 which is their rg35XX clone, the d-pad on that and buttons were great but the shoulder buttons were placed in the most ridiculous place as to make it unusable, and it didn't have a function button!!! Linus, the RK3566 is a POWERFIUL chip for the $50 range it sells in. I paid $48 for mine, and $42 for the M19! most 3566 devices sell in the 70 dollar plus range. But ya those controls make what could have been great budget handhelds unusable. I'm hoping they do better with their next device. I mean clearly they have access to decent dpads and sticks like the ones they used on the M19, so why the heck not just use those in the M25, come on Sjgam, we told you we liked the dpad and buttons on the M19 and then instead of using them on your next device you put the literal cheapest crap you could find in it???
Linus's usecase for this struck home as a kid that was happy with a knockoff Tetris machine when I was younger in the mid 90s this thing would be insane. I'd happily buy one for my kids
Depends, depending on the price range you get better emulation handhelds. And I'll be honest: Spending like 100-300$ for an emulation handheld (with the more expensive ones allowing for PS2 emulation) it's a no-brainer to just get a dedicated emulator instead of taxing the phone with constant charging.
@@DocRekd-fi2zk a vita can't emulate ps3 unless you modify it so heavily that you definietly don't get it for ~200€, and at that point it isn't a vita anymore either way but an entirely custom handheld with different hardware in a vita shell. And for flagship phone etc. No. It doesn't matter what phone you got, and especially on a 1k flagship phone its just stupid from the get go to kill your battery life for emulation. On lower end phones the same, even if they come close or are good enough for your needs theres no point in having to transfer all your data over again to another low end phone once the battery dies down instead of just getting a specialized handheld that's either cheaper if your needs are low (maybe up to PSP) or about the same price either way and offers better cooling because you know... they were made for running on that load unlike a phone.
The dual home buttons may actually be a deliberate choice. EmulationStation defaults to pressing both start and select together to exit the game and return to the ‘home screen’
No one gonna talk about how far into that Lion King game? That level early on that you have to jump over the branches on a running animal is brutal, esp as a kid.
if the sticks or d-pad is bad its not worth 90, not even 40 or 30 for me, it doesnt even matter how good it emulates. you want to have fun with a handheld and not be constantly reminded of its bad controlls while playing.
I would actually love a premium-ish handheld in the same form factor as the PlayStation Portal but running either Android or something like EmuELEC. While maybe not the most portable, the ergonomics would be fantastic and I would love proper sized analogue sticks and triggers. A nice IPS or even better, an OLED panel would just compliment it.
Their no copyright disclaimer thingy reminds me of old internet where you just put on copyrighted music or whatever and slammed a "No copyright infringement intended" in the description.
Kinhank has a 12tb drive full of games..... you think 30,000 is bad, the kinhank drives got every switch game released, ps3, Xbox one, pc, etc. Not just old stuff like this 😂😂😂😂
That Lion King game is by far one of the hardiest games I have ever played I played it when I was younger and again when I was older and still haven't been able to beat the Giraffe stage which I believe is like the second stage...
I don't think you mean mura, I think you meant screen door effect. Mura is similar to SDE but it's an effect exclusive to self emissive displays. It's an effect causes by each pixel or sub pixel not being the same brightness making the appearance of SDE. Its really only seen in VR due to how big the sub pixels are to your field of view.
This might be really niche, but what about the modability of this thing? If the system itself is okay, maybe one could solder some new thumbsticks and switches for the buttons in there to make it "pretty good" with not too much effort?
That could be both a controller, streaming device and stand alone gaming system if sony decided to make one. The touch screen can be used as a touch pad. For touch pad presses, just tap the screen. Perfect size, unlike portal.
naaah, $90 for that thing is pretty bad. almost anything from ambernic around that same price will be way better. heck even the $60 anbernic handheld i bought about 6 months ago has way better build quality
Looks like Linus was playing the Master System version of The Lion King. More than likely he played the Genesis/Mega Drive or SNES version of the game growing up.
Anything other than static heavy games are really unplayable though, Sonic with high latency is not fun at all, compare that to a GBA SP AGS-101, which is packed with quality build for handheld in mind games, with bare-metal 0ms latency, much better controls, which was available in 2002, I'd take the GBA long before this thing.
Man, if the actual PlayStation Portal was that tiny and chunky shape and size I would actually get one. I'd even settle for this actual "SJGAM" thing if it was an actual SteamDeck alternative instead of some scammer's piracy junk. The chunkiness of the plastic and the tiny adorable screen size is just top tier. Everything else about this appears hilariously bad.
the issue with these devices is there is only a handful of main company's that make these types of consoles . anbernic,data frog. miyoo etc 99 percent of the ones for sale on facebook ads or tiktok etc are just some trunk slammer who purchased a container of them from one of the main companies slapped there own logo on the box filled the sd with games some dont even change the games from what the OEM puts in there and then sells them for 50% markup over the price you an get them from directly from the OEM. the common one is the rg36s can be had for 60 aussie dollars on aliexpress with free shipping. then you will see the same device sold by people like SJGAM for 160 dollars with paid shipping lol

wish you compared it to an equivalent device from ambernic or similar company those have come a long way like the RG35XX+

We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.”
That Lion King game is by far one of the hardiest games I have ever played I played it when I was younger and again when I was older and still haven't been able to beat the Giraffe stage which I believe is like the second stage...
Ouod you replace those joysticks though? Could be an interesting upgrade video.
I forgot to grab a snack and drink… was really looking forward to a contra test for the D-Pad…
LTT been on a challenging copyright lawsuit streak lately and i love it.
Not just a pirated game console, _The World's Most Ergonomic Pirated Game Console_
I don't think you mean mura, I think you meant screen door effect. Mura is similar to SDE but it's an effect exclusive to self emissive displays. It's an effect causes by each pixel or sub pixel not being the same brightness making the appearance of SDE.
Its really only seen in VR due to how big the sub pixels are to your field of view.
I was just watching a video about Lion King speedruns and you choose it as your first game!
This might be really niche, but what about the modability of this thing? If the system itself is okay, maybe one could solder some new thumbsticks and switches for the buttons in there to make it "pretty good" with not too much effort?
That could be both a controller, streaming device and stand alone gaming system if sony decided to make one. The touch screen can be used as a touch pad. For touch pad presses, just tap the screen. Perfect size, unlike portal.
Currently unavailable on Amazon.
Ladies and gentlemen, the power of Linus
LTT must be in the dark with the state of the emulator-device-youtube space. Very bold to show emulated Nintendo IP on screen.
2:33 is it enough of a copy to buy sony switches and swap them for a better play?
Good to see the Real Slim Linus stand up.
naaah, $90 for that thing is pretty bad. almost anything from ambernic around that same price will be way better. heck even the $60 anbernic handheld i bought about 6 months ago has way better build quality
So they made what the Portal should have been in the first place... Nice!
The joysticks are literally just Switch Joycon sticks 😩
Looks like Linus was playing the Master System version of The Lion King. More than likely he played the Genesis/Mega Drive or SNES version of the game growing up.
when i was a kid in 2002 this would have been the dream product.
Anything other than static heavy games are really unplayable though, Sonic with high latency is not fun at all, compare that to a GBA SP AGS-101, which is packed with quality build for handheld in mind games, with bare-metal 0ms latency, much better controls, which was available in 2002, I'd take the GBA long before this thing.
Sony, please release a PSP/Vita "classic" with all the games you can license from these two platforms!
NGL, the image on the thumbnail looked a little gray to me and I thought you had some sort of "PS1 classic edition" of the portal.
Man, if the actual PlayStation Portal was that tiny and chunky shape and size I would actually get one. I'd even settle for this actual "SJGAM" thing if it was an actual SteamDeck alternative instead of some scammer's piracy junk. The chunkiness of the plastic and the tiny adorable screen size is just top tier. Everything else about this appears hilariously bad.
I played the demo of that Lion King game but never had the full version lol, might have to go searching.
the issue with these devices is there is only a handful of main company's that make these types of consoles . anbernic,data frog. miyoo etc 99 percent of the ones for sale on facebook ads or tiktok etc are just some trunk slammer who purchased a container of them from one of the main companies slapped there own logo on the box filled the sd with games some dont even change the games from what the OEM puts in there and then sells them for 50% markup over the price you an get them from directly from the OEM. the common one is the rg36s can be had for 60 aussie dollars on aliexpress with free shipping. then you will see the same device sold by people like SJGAM for 160 dollars with paid shipping lol
I was expecting the ultimate retro emulator hardware.
The design actually looks more solid than the PS Portal imo
Uhhhh, after doing the malware/virus video on those consoles/pcs with preloaded games i would've loved for it to be a default segment in videos including such devices.
Kid : Mom i want Playstation Portal
Mom : we got playstation portal in our house
The playstation portal in our house
TH-cam gives Linus the side eye.
Instead of reviewing a anbernic, that's a well known quality retro game console you guys went wild on Temu
If we’re gonna start doing videos on these, can we get some videos on the actually cool ones, like Anbernic and PowKiddy?
All those disclaimers during the review, I wonder if Linus is testing how to avoid a copyright ban / strike / video takedown haha
He was real confident about knowing 4 inches by sight.
You look great 🎉. Those Nike pro shorts are always awesome
Hearing Mura outside of Merch Messages is a jump scare.
Mid? Linus absorbing vocab from his children, good man
They're off their 3d rocker.
The Sony handheld we ACTUALLY wanted instead of the ps portal, c'mon sony, bring this out with your expertise behind it and gives a ps 4 on the go!
I like the design not gonna lie!
"bad sound" it sound like you played the master system version...
