@@asrieldreemurr8059"this is fine" :)
I got this too in a promotion, I say its good and bad for sure.
It's great for quick play NES sessions for a few games, but bad that its very limited to this.
I agree! It's cool to have some smaller NES games on the go. I just wish it was official.
Rerez When those games from the plug and play system was there I was like "Why?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! THERE WAS NO REASON TO PUT THOSE SHIT GAMES THERE!!"
ProtoMario if only it had actual SD card support. Only then would I buy it because I could just load my NES ROMS and insert it and play whatever I like
Why do i see you everywhere
@@rerez
Yeah I have a gba from Amazon for 30$
And it came with a controller but it’s save feature and big screen tv does not work
But it has a 2nd controller the same cool baby one but just designed to fit for the gba
But it has 5 games which are all adventure island 🏝 👑 return
Sadly I lost the gba but it was great and nostalgic
Also I got another one which is far worse
And I modded it to run wolfenstein 3d idk what I was thinking
Because of limited controls u can’t select weapons or strafe left or right or even save the game
But all the crops are black and the soldiers are just there silhouette 👤 so does that protagonists face on the bar which is a huge dissapointment
Atleast it runs wolfenstein since everything runs doom
The thing the BittBoy had that the Gameboy didnt.
*A FUCKING LIT SCREEN*
6:42. That broken harry potter game is actually the Nes game "Caltron 6in1- magic carpet!"
Holy crap! They actually named a game 'deflower'??
Yup....
I guess the sequel will be called Consummation.
DESTROY YOUR FLOWERS NOW WITH DE-FLOWER
Playing that game must be painful
@@XiaoFurythat sounds like a Darksouls type to me.
Actually the port of Altered Beast is an official port that was released on the Famicom only. Many Sega games got ported to the Famicom by companies like Sunsoft who also released After Burner and Fantasy Zone officially in Japan (these versions are also considered better than the Tengen releases by many people).
Wolfsite I was actually getting ready to post about that exact same thing I actually own the famicom version of Altered Beast
Oh you're very correct about Altered Beast. What I meant in the video is that the game included in the BittBoy is NOT an official release of that version. Everything on it is pirated or bootleg.
Yes, I got you to reply :) Victory.
Tengen’s version of Tetris was much better than Nintendo’s in my opinion.
To be fair, anything is better than Tengen Ports
FINALLY!!! Someone who is actually critical of this product!

Bitboy has something the iPhone X doesn’t have:
A headphone jack
AKSHAY KUMAR Nope. It's an AV Out jack.
Lel
As well as quality games
oof
Exactly. IPhone 10 is a rip-off. $1000 rip off.
That "Aladdin 3" game is actually a hack of "Magic Carpet 1001" from the Caltron 6 in 1 cart for the NES...which was essentially an unlicensed multicart...with no pirated games on it. A really interesting bit of Nintendo history.
I love going back to this video sometimes, it’s amazing to think that Bittboy seriously thought it’d sell. Honestly though, as soon as I saw the bootleg Chip ‘N’ Dale sprite on the menu and the 300-in-1 bootleg ROM which has been around for years, I knew it’d be a disaster.
Crikey. So, this was only sold for a short time before being pulled due to low sales?! In the words of Wade from Dank Pods "Can you believe no one bought this?!"
@De19thKingJulion Also, in the wise words of AVGN, "WHAT THE F*CK WERE THEY THINKING!?!?!".
I've seen several reviews of the BitBoy. Yours was the best. You actually went through all the games, and as far as I know, no other reviewer I've seen has. Although it would have been good to hear about the poor connection the AV out has and how difficult it is to play because it cuts in and out horribly.
I'm guessing Aladdin III was what they used for Harry Potter, It looked like a similar setup, maybe that is why there was a witch in there.
BTW I was sent over here by SpawnWave
The "new" BittBoy has a functional micro sd slot and doesn't include any games to avoid copyright issues. In fact, it doesn't even boot without a micro sd. It also emulates GB and GBC, has a slightly bigger 2.4" screen, load/save states, a 700mah battery, and you can control volume/brightness using select+A/B and select+TA/TB respectively. Now THAT is a portable console I would love to have!
glad I can still count on Rerez to produce consistently good videos on this type of stuff
it's be pretty awesome if someone would DIY a raspberry Pi or something of the sort to run emulators using this device's case, display and battery.
t3mb3 Yep youre Right man!
It would be really annoying to use parts from this because its all soldered on. However if you're looking for that sorta thing there's something called a pigrrl it should be exactly what you're looking for :P
I have yet to see any proof that anyone who has built a mini Game Boy Pi device has spent as much time playing it as they spent building it. They're DIY projects - not devices any enthusiast would actually use.
bumtree maybe, i would Probably
Step 1: get a bittboy
Step 2: get a raspberry Pi
Step 3: chuck both Consoles in the ground
Step 4: get a laptop with an emulator in it and chuck it in the consoles
And there you go
Lol I just bought a fake vita off of aliexpress for $20 and that has a micro sd card reader so I can load whatever the hell I want on it! The fact this console gets so much publicity is so wierd to me.
but what consoles does it emulate?
+delamovies
Dude, if there's an sd card slot I'm 90% sure the OP can just load w/e emulators they want onto it.
jokerswild00 yeah there’s a SLOT but no mechanism
See 8 bit Guy's video on this. The company that's making this is pushing this thing really hard and he mentioned how annoying they were to deal with after he agreed to cover it. If they got Shaun to cover it, they must be really desperate right now to get it sold since most youtubers have covered it by now. Granted, Rerez is a great channel and all but still relatively small. Also, if they sent to him (*Giggles like a schoolboy*), it just proves they are an incompetent company because Shane ripped them a new one. Most youtubers seem to have been forgiving, but Shane's right. Great Hardware, mostly bad software. That's sad really because even if it's got pirate stuff on there, it deserves better.
Far smaller channels have been sent one too - including The Retro Future. The company are pushing it like no tomorrow.
It makes me so happy that youre back
There is no difference between Harry Potter "Game" (except graphics), Aladdin 3 and the original one - Magic Carpet 1001
Fixed Fun Oopsie My bad. But engine is the same.
@@fixedfunshow Also I recognize the bees from Hard Man's stage in Mega Man 3.
That doesn't explain why it looks like Harry is naked.
hey rerez apparently the folks at bitt boy are really pushing this thing ...they sent one to the 8bit guy...apparently they werent exactly thrilled by his review or at least thats how it sounded in his video.... im curious why are they pushing this thing so hard... theres better handhelds out there like that chinese handheld that plays famicom carts family computer or some similiar name... theres an optional controller available for that it also has a rechargeable battery but has normal batteries too .. and it hooks up to the tv. as well...
Clear the way for the best gamer ever... Your new episode notification makes my day
Rerez. I hope you see this comment. You're one my favorite CZcams users and I love your content. It is so unique and incredibly well put together. I hope you blow up more than you have and can do this full time. Keep up the great work!
Glad you've been enjoying the videos! :)
Rerez Hey I’m 11 and a really big fan. Thanks for Reviewing this! Can’t wait to see more!
Rerez you don't do this full time ?
This channel reminds me of Christmas for some reason lol. And the darkest dungeon. Man last year was crazy.
this would actually be super cool if it had micro sd rom capabilities?
nice video, just like every other one from your channel :D love your channel, always watch it when i get bored
5:57
*Rolling around at the speed of sound, got places to go gotta' follow my rainbow*
Might be fun to see if you could use the case, screen and section of the PCB that handles the buttons to make a retropie device.
Rerez ive bewn watching for about 3 years and love ur channel, pls review the GB Boy Colour
This is the earliest I've ever been to a Rerez video, but you'd rather hear about how the Gameboy 1up will be a real thing
Iron Fox Gaming i watched it, after the quality deteriored. (I can't spell the last part) :)
I appreciate your balanced reviews. 💚💚💚
You uploaded this vid on my birthdayyy
Spawn Wave sent me here. Solid review dude.
I really like that you review those off brand consoles
I bought one of these, the one I had let's you add games to it, I filled it with GBA, GB, GBC and game gear games. It's really nice
great review! maybe you could do the "retro mini" gba knockoff next?
Awesome product, I think you should do a comparison video with the RetroMini
Good video so far! :)
Glass lenses are only a major improvement if you have an old school non backlit screen. If you have a scratched up plastic lense, you won't notice the scratches once the screen is lit up. That's why the switch still uses a plastic lense.
You know what i like about your videos? You don’t constantly ask in your videos to hit the subscribe and like button, like others do. It’s annoying.
You just make good videos.
Or you can pry off the flash memory inside it and reflash it with real official good nes games instead.
Or else who gave the shit?
That Aladdin three game is actually just a game called magic carpet. To my knowledge, the only thing they changed was the start up screen. That glitched Harry Potter game is also magic carpet, but I understand if you couldn't tell.
Shane: *puts Micro SD card into Bittboy*
Bittboy: "And I took that."
Yo I want that BitBoy in my stocking! 😻
Thats what she said.
Just buy an Actual Gameboy Some are cheaper than this. And in Australia there's a Gameboy colour and Pokemon red for 42 AU dollars so..
I learned the word “tetronimo” very informative video
I recently bought one of these. Indeed there are a bunch of clunkers but there are also a bunch of gems too. I like it for Stinger/Twinbee.
Aladdin 3 there was from Coltron 6 in 1 and was originally called Magic carpet 101.
This channel is criminally undersubscribed.
Oh my god I played Falling Blocks before! It's on the SUPER JOY. A part of the POWER JOY line of bootleg famiclones that's shaped like an N64 controller but with a light gun built into the top end with the Z button being it's clicky trigger, the thumb stick is a d-pad shaped like an analog stick, there's a battery compartment and famicom cart slot in the back for "expansions," and the second controller plugs in via a Genesis/Atari port at the bottom of the middle handle and is shaped like a cartooney PS1 first gen controller which was also packaged with a version of the dreamGEAR bootleg plug n' play actually advertised on HSN. The SUPER JOY only has about 6 or maybe 8 games, half of them are pirated hack light gun games, there's a tank game on there with a pretty decent level editor even though from my experience it doesn't save, and there's Falling Blocks. The coldest most eerie Tetris clone I ever played
5:58 Get down!
Hirose Kohmi - Promise
that alladin 3 came to brazil with the name "magic Carpet" and was bundled with one of the most famous famiclone we had here. The Turbo Game (who is very well known here for having the A and B buttons on the wrong place and one of the most unnecessary controller design ever made)
Hahaha thanks for this amazing video. U make my day I just can't stop laughing special part when you talking about Harry Potter 😂😂😂 Thank you man keep going with this awesome channel.
This is one of the top gaming channels on CZcams. Fight me.
there's a 129 game version which seems to have the crap games removed and some better ones added.
I'll have to find that one!
Rerez there's also something called a retromini which has a working sd card slot and uses the screen from the gameboy micro.
that 300 n 1 rom that has has been around for years ...you can currently by a better version on ebay for $15 that has 400 n 1 and comes with 198 n 1 on a seperate cartridge... they have some good games too batman runs perfectly shatter hand runs perfectly theres too many to name but those carts are well worth the money ...rerez can you review the snes multicart that are on ebay...
You can adjust the brightness by holding SEL and pressing TURBO B for - and TURBO A for +.
Fun fact! When space hamster played harry potter bootlegs he played that harry potter nes on the bittboy that looked strikingly resemblent to Aladdin 3 for bittboy
3:45 LOL Shane you’re a funny guy
9:10 I have to disagree with your opinion of not having Tetrominos being a bad thing. I think it brings challenge to fit these strange pieces so they make as little holes as possible. Hell, that's why I like Magical Tetris Challenge so much.
Good point! :)
@@rerez *:)*
I'm sure somebody's said it already, but that Altered Beast on Famicom is an officially produced, SEGA endorsed port of Altered Beast.
6:40 I think projared will like to play this system (it got HYDLIDE)
wasted goat
Yes, he'd DEFINITELY want to play this.
rerez, can you please review the retromini?
I'll look into it!
holy crap, the resolution of this vid is awesome
Actually, the Aladdin 3 game is "Magic Carpet 1001" from the infamous bootleg nes game called "Caltron 6 in 1"
On the go!
5:58 rolling around at the speed of sound!
Labyrinth was shown in Jontron's Plug and Play video.
Harry Potter, though. I have no clue.
Thanks brother I almost was gonna buy this silly thing
1:02 I am fairly certain you meant to say 3.5 millimetre not inch. That would be a huge connector
The visual glitches are probably caused by shoddy mapper support. Wrong banks being selected, failure to send scanline interrupts and so on.
Aladdin 3 is on almost every one of these kind of things. The Power Power Super Joy III has it too.
Mouse Snare also uses the level selection background from Dr. Mario.
If you want a new version of the 8-bit gameboy just get a GB Boy Colour. The pirated games it comes with are all original GB releases and not weird hacks and bootlegs (they're still pirated, obviously) and it plays actual GB and Game Boy Color cartridges. I don't know who in this day and age is looking for a handheld just for playing NES / Famicom games, let alone one full of crappy bootlegs and hacks.
I have one and love it. Great for when I have to run around...
Deflower? OH GOD BAD IMAGES
8:58 THANK YOU OMG I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING LIKE IT'S CALLED " *TETR* IS" FOR A REASON LMAO.
What game is being played at 0:39 in the video? I've wanted to find out what that game is called for ages.
kinda late to the party, but really nice review :) i actually have an gameboy sp clone with so many nes, famicom , sega , gba games in it and i like it a lot...it also takes gba and gb carts...pretty cool system for like $33
We need a super bittboy with link cable, snes and super famicom along with savestates and microsd card support
I have a BitBoy, It's amazing!
Your Hair is beautyful
Nah your spelling is XD
WH250398 sry I'm from Germany
WILL REREZ EVER FIND THE PERFECT D-PAD?!
not bloody likely
1:00 That video output jack is too small for a 3.5 inch which is huge. Oh I know, it's actually 3.5mm
Omg!
This thing sounded so good!
...And then there was the micro SD slot that is just a hole!
What were they thinking?!
2:27 You shake that Bit Boy!
i know a store cloce to my house with most of the rippofs you show us, but im curius if it exist one of them that are at elast... decent
Well... Can't I flash my own ROM's into this? It must me using emulators, right?
Maybe you guys are going out of your way to explicitly state this fact.
Other than that, can't I just build something like this on my own?
I have never in all my years as a gamer seen a 3.5 inch audio jack, if you can believe it.
I found the Dpad on the Coolbaby version to be annoying after 2 weeks. Stuff like Super Mario Brothers would quickly fall apart with the precision jumps
As soon as i saw the glitched harry potter i immediately said it was aladin 3. Aladin 3 i hear is a very rare nes game too
"Aladdin III" is actually a modified version of an unlicensed NES game called "Magic Carpet 1001." The only difference is that the title screen was removed the main character's minimal speed was decreased. "Harry Potter" is also a mod of Magic Carpet 1001. The game Magic Carpet 1001 was developed by a Taiwanese company called NTDEC (now known as Asder) and originally appeared on an unlicensed NES multicart released by them in 1992 called "Caltron 6-in-1" (later released as "Myriad 6-in-1.") Magic Carpet 1001 in itself is actually a knock-off of the 1988 arcade game "Chuka Taisen" (A.K.A. "Cloud Master") by Taito Corporation.
What kind of hair gel do you use?
Gary Oak it seems to not be hair gel but a sort of other hair style product. Like a pomade or such similar. Then he sprays hair spray to keep it in place. His hairstyle would be a bit hard to do as it's standing with regular gel as gel is heavy and will weigh the hair down
A R. Hmmm maybe. He should make a video explaining the process. Maybe it's a wig....
I use hair paste. I used to use gel in the past but I didn't like the way it looked.
To ignore everything in the video and only focus on what hair gel he uses you should be called "gary glitter"
I believe that Alladin III is a rom hack from the same game that Harry Potter is a romhack from on that console.
4:58 Holy crap, KARATEKA? I had that on my Commodore 64 in 1986!!! Does it actually work, or is it the same glitched version where you can't reach the boss because trying to move through the door leading to the boss just makes you take damage?
Can you get a micro SD card adapter and slot in into those pin connectors?
REREZ, could you make a review of the MY ARCADE GO GAMER PORTABLE? I bought one, and think it's fine, but I would like to know your opinion.
Hey Rerez i just bought a Bittboy from ebay and it will be coming soon 😃
Aladdin 3 is actually Magic carpet 1001 that's on the nes caltron 6 in 1 cart.
Harry Potter is a graphical hack of Magic Carpet 1001, which is also commonly known as Aladdin 3 as well.
A new version with an sd card slot came out. Can you make a review on it?
Lol still looks interesting. I played that Pikachu game in my phone from the nea emulator with ROMs from the play store
wait if the micro sd card just goes in the system how does it connect to the system?
