They aren't just based off of the MintyPi, some of the plastic parts appear to be direct rip offs of the 3D printed parts on the latest version.
Yeah I noticed that complete utter carbon copy.
Yeah this is ripping off community work.
Always fine for corps to take from average people, but never the other way around apparently
yikes. come on Elliot you're better than this.
@@polocatfan Yeah let's blame the CZcamsr for producing official Tetris and Pacman merch, how dare he personally rip people's efforts off
Thanks so much for your great shout-out, elliot! ❤
Pcbway
HEYYY@@SkrittleCubing
U literally paid Elliot to get a shoutout
U don’t need to thank him
@@yahyar2022just cos they paid him doesn't mean it's not nice or polite to thank someone for their work, don't be a twat.
I got given the PacMan in a tin as a secret Santa gift last year. Perfect stocking filler when all your work colleague knows about you is "he's into old video games!" (Love how you shoehorned a 'SolarStriker' reference into this video!)
SAME!!!
Yes please open them up! I'd love to see what hardware they're using and how easy/hard it would be to repurpose it instead of having to print and source your own minty pi parts.
Me too. Also I wonder if there's a ready-made MAME version. I don't have the money for small-run stuff and I don't have a 3D printer.
Great, now he's going to be hunting for Minuet Tetris in a Tin.
I like it! I’m a Tetris guy and PacMan makes me too anxious to enjoy it (seriously). So I’d be happy to receive the Tetris Tin as a little Father’s day gift!
They should do Millipede/Centipede or Galaga/Galaxian in a tin! I’d also like a rail shooter like Solar striker , Nemesis, or Xevious.
Very cool.
Love that the “In A Tin” is a reference too.
What Is IT a REFERENCE to?
@@e2011ugdia0:57
If Solar Striker is your thing, maybe a more recognizable alternative would be Namco's Xevious or Galaga '88.
I had not heard of Solar Striker but it did remind me much of Galaga.
I'm curious about the battery life on these, AAA batteries with a decently bright screen seem like a bad mix. I don't know the ins and outs of hardware, but don't backlit screens need a relatively high voltage? That aside, they're cute and look very durable to throw in a pocket or bag. That exposed ribbon cable would give me pause if I were looking to buy though. That seems like something that could've been engineered out in the design phase.
Hmmm, seems like a commercial and simplified MintyPi. Wonder if the case is the same size as an Altoids tin.
The grand question; Will these guts actually fit in a genuine Altoids mint tin?
These are the kind of things that are good to use when you're having a good poo. If your phone's on charge or something, poo with these instead.
You’ve got me hooked on solar striker. I play it all the time. I’m not even that good but it’s such a fun pick up and play game, kill a few minutes in a quick run
The tetris one is almost an exact copy of the tiny arcade handheld from a few years ago. though it does have better sound and a nicer looking d-pad than the other one. the tiny arcade one had a really bad separate button d-pad you'd see on crappy bootlegs.
I’m usually not into things like this but…. I kinda love these lol
Feels like a rip from the old raspberry pi consels in a tin.
I've looked at these on Amazon before, they look interesting. I've always wondered how they play. Sound is a big thing for me, but if they're made custom, I think I can let it slide
Galaga & Space Invaders would be cool
ngl the thing in the thumbnail looks like a new 2ds xl with no analog stick
I wanted to give you an idea as I saw a commercial for the Samsung Z Flip and thought “that looks like a Gameboy Advance SP”. Would be great to see you make a Gameboy Advance SP flip phone.
Great video.
I've got Tetris in the Tin. I find the lid a bit flimsy you can be playing it and it drops. That said it's a great version of Tetris.
I'd like to see a Donkey Kong original version or BurgerTime or even Frogger as an Arcade In the Tin.
If I was a kid still, I would be damaging that ribbon cable, kids don’t understand that stuff and it looks very pull able haha
Ahhhhh but can they still hold mints? These are so cute and cool. The music is a little off, but I'd be very happy if I found this as a stocking stuffer. I'd love to see any game and watch games in these tins!!!
The music is a bit...tinny
Ok that game and watch idea is actually pretty cool
That Duracell rabbit threw me off. The Wikipedia article was an interesting read. Basically, Duracell can't use the bunny mascot in the USA or Canada because Energizer has the trademark on pink bunny battery mascot.
They are cool, would like to see more games, maybe like a shooter. Then they could be collected and displayed. Seem like ok quality for being in a mint tin. I would buy one or two not a pac man fan but definitely a Tetris fan.
Take a drink every time he wipes the table... I'm drunk 3 mins in... You
Solar Striker's a first party Nintendo title. It would be a Game and Watch if it was ever rereleased in handheld form.
That Solar Striker shout-out made me so happy that's one of my favorite games of all time
The Pac-Man in a Tin is very obviously running a modified NES ROM. Can anyone who owns this verify how it differs from stock NES Pac-Man? I can already see some text changes: "HI-SCORE" to "HIGH" and "1 UP" to "SCORE" (but why?). Can't tell from the video whether colours, sprites, or sound changes have been made, but I strongly suspect that only cosmetic changes were made & gameplay is unchanged.
I'm concerned about the plastic hinge breaking over time and the ergonomics of playing it. Also, the Pac-Man version appears to be the NES and not the arcade. It does look cool but I think it's more to show off on a shelf than for practical use.
"Open this up!" Thank you, Elliot Coll. Great share.
This is cool, I like making these and using raspberry pi’s. 🙂
I really like the pac man one. I’d love to see one of these for space invaders or donkey kong
I'd like to see a dig dug one
Scramble for me. 😂
Nice to see others like Solar Striker to. August 1989 I got it together with my Game Boy for my 9th birthday. Loved it to death, sometimes I pull out my good old Game Boy and then Solar Striker is one of my go to Games😂. OHHH God that means I'm going to be 43 in a few Days 😂. I'm feeling so Old right now.🐢
Nintendo should make some and call them "Tintendo"
A teardown would be nice, maybe there might be a way to add more games to it.
Depends. If its a microcontroller with marking and good datasheet like a stm32 or a alwinner cpu or a rpi, then there could be (or are already) software packages for it to run your own emulator or just ways to port roms to the flash if the flash rom is marked. But if its a NOAC a lot of ripoffs use(nintendo on a chip) (basicly a full nes hardware but cpu, ppu, spu, ram, rom and all HW all put onto a chip) then its pretty impossible to hack
Tetris aspect ratio seemed a little off. Pac-Man looks great. And yes. Open Open Open
Gauntlet would be a definite must for this series
Definitely shout out the Minty Pi. He must have licensed this to them. If not he should sue.
It really looks like a tin. I want that in school!
I’d like to see custom games and maybe some indie ones. I do wish the screens were a bit larger width wise.
Gradius would be dope to see in one of these
The volume pulls more juice from the batteries, robbing the backlight.
If it was 5dlls it would fly off the shelves.
I'd like to see Galaga in a tin.
Elliot, you did a lot of 3ds repair videos in the past which were sped up. Can you show how to replace a circle pad and its joystick entirely? I think its 2 seperate pieces actually and i broke the circle pad plastic while my joystick was drifting. It is a 2015 model new nintendo 3ds xl. I know you don’t do these stuff usually so maybe in your second channel?
OPEN IT UP AND MOD IT LOL
DOOM HELL YEAH
Audio is tinny
I feel the build quality could be way better, and what is that hing? let me play it flat.
Tetris is all you need tbh
Oh nice at first i thought this was some sort of DIY Project.
Nostalgia in a tin. My kids aren't going to know what Tetris or Pac-Man is about anyway. My kids are into Street Fighter 6 right now.
Tetris and Pac-Man are timeless games. Eventually they’ll find out about them!
Great video my friend. These look awesome.
Seems Peter Knetter has competition.
man i love these kind of things, i wish i had one but its probably really expensive :P
Not bad. I wouldn’t go get these for myself, but if I got one as a gift, I wouldn’t turn my nose up to it. Classics that you can’t go wrong. I resented saw these games as cheap lcd games just the other day. Must’ve been the same company for those too
Cool looking, but for some reason I can see the video ribbon ripping or tearing wearing out.
Excite bike would be cool in one of those.
Looks like MintyPi
How did Elliot Coll get a hold of Tetris in a Tin, but not the McDonald's Tetris LCD McNugget from China?
The Pac-Man game is from the NES version.
It’s still unique.
I'd be more interested in these if there were more than one game on them, but then again I'm not the market for these. These are obviously meant as stocking stuffer sort of gifts or for people that aren't actually retro-gaming nerds. If I got the pac-man one as a christmas stocking stuffer I would probably think it was cute at least.
These are cool dude. And I love the ball intro you made.
Love the new intro man GREAT JOB!
I need the Tetris one. Time to save up 40 dollars!
1:00 lol the gaming world said naw fuk it we'll take something from yall and make money off it.
I'd have preferred the pacman one to have the buttons and screen on the bottom or something
They are cool. Saw them last year in bhm shop 20 quid. Good for collector but have multiple devices that can play those and better games
The tetris one looks like a new 2ds xl
Time to get the tetris one and mod it
You should make one with all arcade games
Hey Elliot! I have an extra official Japanese DS TV tuner, would you be interested in covering it? I really have no need for the extra one.
As a retro collector I'd love one
They look great and would be cool for camping when you dont have space for or want to risk damage to a more expensive console. I could absolutely see myself carrying tetris in my handbag!
The anniversary Mario and Zelda Game & Watches are also great for that
I love stupid things on amazon
Beautiful little boxes
I swear you did this review for a year or so. Now I gotta look up what I'm thinking,
It wasn't the Altoids ones
Got a new Invicta watch today... well new to me, 1950's Invicta mil-spec Invicta that is very cool and running well... best £12 I ever paid :D
How about Centipede or Joust? Something like that. The classic 80's games. £25 seems a little high.
I'd love to see a tear down!
you neeed a capcom arcade 1up my dude
PCBWay generally fine for what it is, but don't expect a clean finish on their black solder mask!
Overall, these little things look kinda neat. :)
As for what games I’d like to see be made in this format…I’m going with Activision’s 1983 Enduro for the Atari 2600, and Bandai-Namco’s 1970 Rally X.
Personally, ill skip out on these mainly cause i have tons of wyas to play either games
But it looks like a cool thing to keep on you or in your display
I know you mentioned the volume button dimming the screen not affecting you but when I turn the volume completely off the screen basically goes black even though the game is still playing. Do you know if there is a way to fix that because I like to play quietly and not play loud noises in public :)
I would like to see up to megaman 9 or 8 of these
Can you do a DS in a tin perhaps?
the Pac-Man one reminds me of the NES version
It is. For some reason that version is always released rather than the arcade original.
£25 _bruh_
a powkiddy V90 is £30-35
these things should be £10 at most, this is absolutely a collector's tax
Nice Elliot.
Can't hear any audio from these in the video.
From the thumbnail and title I assumed you built these, seems a bit odd to buy something manufactured to look home made.
Some businesses just look at something slightly popular and rip it off. people have been making these for years, and now some company made them available commercially. It's cool, but I'd never buy something like this
@@andreysegura2510 yeah it's a call to emotion, also cheapens the charm of making something yourself out of whatever you have available
Would it hurt you to appreciate the box just a little bit... Damn 😔
Let's go a new intro
A emulator system
Dude I have the same exact Pac man and Tetris honestly I think the Pac man 1 is better than the Tetris but the Tetris 1 is still cool!!!
Someone has put a Wii in a Tin.
Someone made one the size of a game boy color
Interesting gaming tins.
I think you'll like upcoming Super Pocket series from Hyper Mega Tech (aka Blaze Entertainment). Taito and Capcom editions due before Christmas.
I was hoping he would open one up to see the internals
I wonder if there's a way to upgrade the screen and make it bigger
