Thanks to Retro Dodo for some of the footage used in our video! Check out his channel for more great videos! -> czcams.com/users/RetroDodo
Yeah baby! 😍❤️😍
You were not authorized to use his videos, You stole his content
What you meant to say is "lol we stole your footage then fought your dmca claim until YT sided with us. Eat it!". You're a bunch of scumbags
"Mom, can I have [game console]?"
"No, we have [game console] at home."
[Game console] at home:
My first console was a polystation, it was what my parents could afford at that time when I asked for a video game, I have great memories with it 😂
Damn bro
I was the same... the only thing my parents could afford...
The polystation was so infamous
Same man, they could afford it I suppose but must be saving for my first pc and I’m glad that’s how it happened.
Damn, I feel sorry for you to having the Fake Console. My first game Console is Playstation one.
Thank's for the mention 😁 in my channel I have more ridiculous consoles and retrocomputing stuff 😉
The video about the fake plastic Xbox that TuberViejuner brought to his channel was crazy! It seems ridiculous how someone tried to sell this. But imagine the face of a young boy that expects a real Xbox and their deceived fathers brings this...
And at the channel, you can see other crazy fake plastic machines like these analysed and opened! The internals sometimes is worst than the externals as you can see in his videos!!!.
El Telefunken dando protagonismo también.
yes, he has
Disappointed to see WatchMojo rip our videos, and use them without consent. We didn't even receive an email, nor a DM asking for the rights to use our content. We would have been fine with it if you asked, but the cheek to download, and use our content for a majority of your video without asking is a little too far, especially when WatchMojo themselves fine other creators for using their content without "licensing". We'll be emailing you shortly. :(
Seriously. I doubt they asked Ashens about it, or anyone else for that matter. They tend to pick clips from small channels. I wonder why...
Well, i doubt you asked permission to all the companies when making videos about their consoles and games, so why Watchmojo should ask you permission to use some clips when you don't own anything that you show in yours? :P
@@leonreborn1308 That's not how it works bud, lol.
You serious? You look like a sore loser. There are literally dozens of videos with the same theme on CZcams, dude. Go cry somewhere else. Or you're just trolling. Ok then. Bye.
@@J.D.Hardesty It is. Anyone can make a video on Top 10 video game console rip off!!! Also, watchmojo did give credit in the comment section which they didn't have to.
I am not a gamer, but, I would never have bought those ridiculous consoles! 🤣🤣
I only had a famiclone growing up.
I think as a Latin American, the Polystation is cultural meme at this point. As a child you could find it being sold just about everywhere; the first one I encountered for sale was at a Farmer's Market... on the meat side of the market for some reason. Having one was the bomb (NOT), as me and my friends would try to count just how many clones of the bootleg games were squeezed into the same cartridge. Good for a laugh at least.
Cheers!
Correct 😂 it''s nostalgic.
Every one of these is prime for the classic "can we get this/we have this at home/this at home:" joke.
When I heard that Soulja Boy was making game consoles, I was scratching my head like crazy. He lost relevance in the industry, and tried to find it again with us gamers.
Soulja boy will always be a legend
@@REALzackychan right.ppl like him are the ones who stopped keeping up and assumes he's lame bc he stop doing bussiness with the shady side of the rap game and went his own route.what other artists outside of jay, kanye,diddy,rih and soulja is booming with their own bussiness and not just some endorsement through another company?
@@desari2866 he taught us how to have hustle when all odds against you, so much game you could be put on and it’s all right in front of you
He owns Atari now 💯
@@REALzackychan All odds aka copyright laws. I mean he can go up against other gangsters for some of that also illegal profits, but he choose to side with some shady Chinese businessmen and rob hard working Japanese game makers like a real G.
These look like consoles you would get at a Dollar Tree.

That’s an insult to dollar tree 💀
@@michaeljackson8390 We gotcha.
No joke I once found a PlayStation classic at the new dollar store that was put up in my area
Yes
So glad u guys featured JonTron and RelaxingEnd, two of my favorite CZcamsrs, one is a guy who talks about out-of-nowhere subjects while being freaking hilarious, and the other is possibly the greatest unboxer on CZcams
When you thought the Console Wars was worse.
Well this is the biggest Console Wars in the world.

@@michaeljackson8390 no dhit
I had a PSP knock-off called the PVP which played NES games and it was such a weird but also a fun device.
Of course I also had a real PSP as well.
My biggest thing is can't the actual developers (Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, etc) sue them and get them shut down indefinitely??? There's no way these knock-offs are able to ship massively
There’s so many developers that do it, it’s hard to actually sue all those people, and they can’t just tell all those developers to stop, but if one gets too big they would most likely be target very quick
i would like to thank every youtuber on this list for using these KO items so that we don't have to.
Did anyone really expect anything decent from Soulja boy...like ever?
I mean at least there's no debate over whether these consoles are good or bad like his 1 song.
He is in another world. Last week he tried to say he owns Atari only for Atari to tell him to keep dreaming.
Some of them are good retro console games packed with old NES, PS1 and Dreamcast games. But i pretty hated those LCD ripoff consoles that imitate hot modern ones 😬
Imagine being so out of touch that you would think these are suitable birthday presents
It wouldn't have been out of the question for people from my generation and older to have gotten this sort of stuff as a present. I was lucky that my parents would look for advice from more knowledgeable people in markets where they weren't very well informed about. But if they weren't then it would have totally been possible.
Considering I paid for half of the internet subscription from age 15 to 18, just so we would get cable instead of dial-up. It really showed the typical tech knowledge and the level of importance with my parents (especially my mom). Dial-up was pay per minute but would usually only cost about €10 a month and the cheapest cable was €20 a month. I of course got my money back with some major pirating.
I love how "Polystation" sounds like "Police Station".
I'm glad they featured Retro Dodo ( Brandon ) in the video.
Big fan of his content 👍
LOL, this was one awesome list.
My local K-Mart had the Polystation. It was in the same aisle as the Sonny and Panamsonic TVs.
These things were unusually common. Ebay, Amazon, dollar stores, and a kiosk at the local mall would have several of these.
The PolyStation: "It's just not a game anymore!!"
How true, how true lol
Wait.. No Dendy?
The entirety of Eastern Europe has been playing NES/Famicom knock-off consoles with different names. The most famous one was Russian Dendy based on Micro-Genius consoles that are Famicom copies.
You really should include polish famiclone "Pegasus"
replace the p with a m on the word Pegasus.
"Mom can we have this new game console?"
"We have it at home."
Game Console at Home:
(2:24) I remember browsing a shop in the early 2010s that sold cheap household products, and they even sold that, with a demo device (that was connected to a small grey 14" CRT TV) having its fake N64 joystick broken off. At the time, the only Famiclone games I played were on Chinese ODM portable DVD players, so I didn't know the connector on the back of the main controller was for Famicom cartridges.
Whats sucks is I always wanted a minines but there's a lot fake ones look exactly like the original with really bad games I had to find a way to distinguish between them & thanks to CZcams reviews I found that original have only 30 games while the fake one has like 300 I end up finding a original one in a pawnshop I love it
….I’m so happy my parents weren’t fooled into buying these
You guys laugh all you want, but the poly station made my childhood 😂😂
I had them too I hated them then too 😂😂
I've never seen one around here. That or any other Chinese consoles.
The Super Joy brought my godbrother and I lots of memories back when we were poor kids lol. We stayed up all night playing those games on that thing until the wire got a shortage in it and kept resetting to the main menu. Then it became a contest to see how long we could play before the game messed up lol.
We blamed it on the “wire guys” - some imaginary job where guys control the wiring to EVERY electronic in the city (mind you we were in Houston) and we thought they were disconnecting our game from afar just to mess with us.
Awesome times. I even bought one years later as a rich champ just to relive the memories.
I got one of those rip off called Ali-com back when I was six years old. The exterior looked like old version of PS1 but it ran several built-in NES. Surprisingly tho, it could run the games pretty smoothly.
Seeing the Flame Decals in the Jungle Tac Vii's controllers- take my money!!!
This video is like a tribute to Dr. Ashens
Oh yeah, good old Polystation... Ruined a lot of Christmas around the world 😂
That PCP console had me laughing super hard! Some of these rip off names are just so funny, where do they come up with these names!
You know what I did have the PolyStation once, it has a bunch of preload NES and Atari games and some knockoff games, a cartridge slot, and a lcd game on the consoles itself. The LCD part lasted the longest ironically, got me hook on Tetris, Bricks, and Snake.
"Did you insert a memory card?"-sonic
the childhood struggles were real I also remember him saying "Need more memory bud"-Sonic when you didnt have enough data to save
I have two handheld game devices, one of which is a knockoff of the PSP, called the X6. The other is called a D-CAT 16. The thing about the knockoffs is that even if they claim to have hundreds or thousands of games, many are emulated games that have duplicated game levels. They can say there's that many games because all of these duplicates have a different name.
Love your content! Stay safe everyone 🌞
Super Joy was the only console my parents could afford and we built lot of memories with that knockoff.
So instantly I'm just like yo Soulja Boy where you at
Show more respect WM. here in Latin America Polystation its a legend
Chinese companies: Ok we need to make a console that is Outstanding!
Employee: How about a console with unique design and games that are official and new that comes with it?
Company: Good one, anymore recommendations?
Some random guy: get a box and install nes roms in it and name it to a similar famous console with the exact same design and add random things that doesnt make sense. And make the box of the console absolutely bad.
Company: WERE PROMOTING YOU TO CEO, ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE
I think "Rambo TV Game" is my favorite name, lol!
7:46 Roberto Artigiani ?! 😅
That man was the salesperson in Italy of the Power Player Super Joy ...
Number 2 has the greatest joke Watch Mojo has ever done 🤣🤣
Watch mojo: makes a video about knockoff consoles
Rerez: i’m the ghost of the money that you wasted on this fucking console
That YOUUUU took me out😂😂😂😂😂
Always good to see ashens in the lists
Damn Number 2's opening critique... can't be better said 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My grandparents have the Polystation which I play a few time when I was a kid.
Almost bought one myself on a school trip but I didint have enough money at the time.
Those Bootleg Consoles look like something that Batman would throw out of the Batcave because he got them at Dollar Tree.
Top 10 Video Game Prototypes that Look Way Better than the Final Game
Number 8 looked liked those old Tiger handheld games from the 80's and early 90's.
I’ve seen a Danger Dolan video that had about knock-off game consoles.
Polystation? More like Phoneystation.
The biggest console scam was Dendi. Russia marketed NES for a few weeks in those times and then said "fuck it, let's have our own crap" and started to sell a pirated version of NES called Dendi. All the games from NES were also pirated and a lot of them had difficulty spikes if that was the case. I still remember how unforgiving Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game was with ordinary levels being hard as hell just to get to the immortal final boss with no chance of winning.
I had a super joy console as a kid. Was playing it one time and there was a spark followed by a small little fire. The fire went out itself.
Ah yes,Polystation a PlayStation rip-off that no strange to Indonesia. The most popular ripoff in Indonesia.
Legitimately thought I was watching a Retro Dodo and Ashens collaboration. As between them I think they accounted for most of the video
I remember when my mom brought us a poly station me and my brother trying to hold in our laughter when we saw this hahahaha
Polystation was my first console, but I had fun with it when I was a kid.
I thought my Superjoy smelled as if it were burning, as it was burning!
Treamcast isn't a ripoff but a knockoff. It's pretty hotly pursued by Dreamcast fans as it has all the functionality of the original plus a built-in screen.
I find it interesting how the Polystation box copied the original Nintendo 64 Box with those features on the side, using the same font even.
I once saw a “Funstation” being sold in Trinidad.
I came across a red Power Player Super Joy 3. It had a bunch of pirated NES titles preinstalled. Actually, some "games" were really just individual levels of other games. Some with switched out color schemes. The N64 style control stick is a fake and does not move period, and you could screw a joy stick attachment into the Genesis controller D pad. The system was trashed ASAP.
Wow, sounds like we got a million facepalms?!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Which ever ones have Pokémon and Final Fantasy games, I'm down to buy and play.
Before I watch this I already know Ashens is going to be in this video a fair amount
I knew I'd see the solja game and shit
I dont care what anyone says, The "Golden China" console was king! 999999in1 cartridges FTW
I like the reference for Soulja Boy "guess who this man was trying to scam....Youuuuu" a classic way to reference him. It's just kind of sad it's not a better thing to be referenced for 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is the kinds of stuff grandparents get their grandkids for Xmas. Horrible, HORRIBLE knock offs.
I heard the PCP uses the advanced LSD screen.
I remember there was an Australian morning show on channel 10 in the early 2000s with Bert Newton and Kerry Ann Kennelly or something along those lines.
They were doing one of those TV shopping adds during their show where they would be selling a random product or so.
And they had on there an Arcade Emulator Console that looked just like a Nintendo 64, but it was playing all of those 70s and 80s Arcade games, some of which I believe were Roms from licensed games like Pac Man and Space Invaders for example.
I don't know how but I never saw anyone during that shopping add ever say which companies they got the license from in order to get those Roms on that N64 looking console to play just Arcade games on there.
I think it was called Arcade Classics or something and they were selling it for $60 Australian dollars during the early 2000s and there was like 100 games on one Cartridge for the base package, but if you ordered within the limited amount of hours you would get another Cartridge with 50 extra games on it.
Looking back on it, I was sure it was one of those Chinese hack consoles.
Maybe that Australian morning show on Channel 10 were selling Bootleg games long before Soulja Boy.
Fitting soundtrack 😂
Ah, scams. They’ll never disappear until we start punishing those who make them.
This is a reminder to buy real and not fake. Because ultimately it's you who will be paying for it in more ways than one.
#8 sounds like a place people go to take bad trips.
The PCP killed me lmao.
OMG!
You got "Super Mary!" XD
My father bought a wii look like for like $125 for his grandkids, barely worked and they stopped playing with it in less then a hour.
7:20 "Did you insert a memory card?!?!"
7:22 "No I did not...."
😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣
I remember when I got a Superjoy variant from Keller’s Flea Market lol
Treamcast is the best knockoff ever lol
All that plastic used to make these knockoffs is just going to end up in a landfill or ocean.
What would happen if these video game consoles weren't rip off? Which one of them is worth buying?
None, everything on this list is trash but their are “consoles” that are worth buying
China que le hiciste a mi infancia
Ya llevo días sin dormir, y no creo que pueda seguir
The Soulja Boy joke was just awesome 😂😂😂😂
In Brazil, PolyStation is called "The Nightmare of Xmas" due to the deception that it brings to a child who just want to play Crash Bandicoot back in the 2000's....
Today PolyStation is a classic meme around here.
The PCP can almost be seen as a spiritual successor to those Tiger Electronics games.
The Undertaker's 8bit theme at the end.
Only plug'n'plays I could ever recommend were those Namco ones from the early 2000's that had their old arcade games on um. Those were awesome
I had the super joy whenever I was a kid, we plugged it up and it started rolling smoke out of it.
Why aren’t these companies not sued into prison?
Well damn I underestimated the treamcast
I haven’t even heard of these HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIFYING console ripoffs. So bad, CZcams thought it was a REAL NES and a REAL Wii U.
