For any non Americans wondering why a pharmacy is selling this and other non medicinal products, in America, nothing just sells one thing and everything needs to sell toys and games. Edit: This is so common, Hasbro has exclusive transformers they only sell at Walgreens
I'm from Australia and I never really heard of this before, it's not like chemist warehouse (basically our walgreens, I don't think you have it in America) is selling fuckin hollow knight
at 9:35, my brain realized that the image of a fusion of Killua and Black Clover's Asta jumping on a trampoline on a bootlegged Game Boy is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life
6:44 The ball was inside the court, but tennis courts are set up so that both doubles and singles can be played on them. You were playing singles, the doubles alleys are out of bounds.
Bumbles: "Why would I buy something so stupid? Spend my money to get something like this?" Me, the sole owner of GameFly's GBA Garfield Game Stock: "I dunno man."
If there's one thing the My Arcade Go Gamer Portable, Cough Medicine, and the movie Cats all have in common is they make for a great CZcams video. (Where's the Cats retrospective and cough medicine tier list, Mr. McFumbles?)
Honestly, I picked up one of these from Duane Reade (in NYC bought by Walgreen's years ago) in 2019 for about $20 knowing what it was mainly to shell it for parts and to see if I could eventually succeed in reprogramming the chip with my own custom games or something. Back when I still had ambition and wasn't suffering from extreme depression.
I had another very similar version of this when I was younger after the cartridge slot on my Nintendo DS broke. It was actually pretty great and the batteries lasted freaking forever, which was a big plus for road trips. The games were just enough to keep me entertained on a 3-4 hour road trip so I guarantee you that my parents thought that it was worth every penny of the $20 they spent on it while we were on the trip where my Nintendo DS broke.
It wasn't enough that Waddle stole a Kirby sprite: that enemy with the long nose was ripped from the Commander Keen games, too. Biggest injustice to Commander Keen since Bethesda tried to make that mobile game.
Regarding the tennis out, it actually was an out. The sides are considered out in singles but are not out in doubles. Great video though, and I'm glad they included a new installment of punchout on that console.
This harkens back to where I was so tempted to buy one of those Sega Genesis plug and play consoles (I thought it was an actual Genesis) at the Family Dollar near my college.
I remember having one of those things, the only game that i was familiar with was Sonic & Knuckles, meanwhile the other games were some weird stuff i don't remember.
What's bad is that my grandpa actually bought the same handheld console on the thumbnail before his death a year ago. I kinda feel bad for him now knowing it wasn't a legitimate retro console that he thought it was.
I grabbed one of these at a garage sale for a dollar. Gotta say it looks pretty cool with the lit up buttons. Can't really give it any other compliments. The fighting game was the only one I "dug" into. After a while I was able to pull off all of the moves, but the supers (special meter moves) in particular do insane damage, so spamming them to just steamroll, chip, and stun loop the CPU was kind of a fun challenge. Also, final boss is just a mirror match after you've defeated the other 4 characters and there's no ending, just returns to start. The molasses speed is torturous, so still can't recommend it. City Battle is probably the best game on it, but even it seems to drag on forever.
I went to cvs which had the same item and I took like 10 minutes trying to figure out if there were any Nintendo games just to end up not getting it and when I walked out the door my bike was stolen which I later found out was like 3 minutes before I walked outside so that arcade portable got my bike stolen by getting my hopes up.
In singles tennis, landing the ball in the alleys (the long rectangles on either side of the court) is considered "out". In doubles tennis however, it's considered "in" because you need more space for two teams of two.
I saw this thing 9 months ago, and nearly purchased it out of morbid curiosity. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity and saving me $20! I shall like and subscribe now!
Hare Fighter’s main player artwork is another case of stolen Capcom artwork, it’s from an arcade multigame compilation called Three Wonders. The rabbit character was pulled from its puzzle game section, named Don’t Pull
Note from the guy who manages the spreadsheet: My Arcade does not own Data East. With the major exceptions of Windjammers, Glory of Heracles, Karnov, and... a 4th one I can't recall, all of Data East was bought by G-Mode, a division of Marvelous (the Story of Seasons and No More Heroes guys). G-Mode, however, has no idea what to do with most of them, so they let Marvelous USA license them all to My Arcade for cheap, as they got them all for comparatively nothing anyway.
I bought something similar to this as a kid, only in a shape more comparable to the GBA, and with a different selection of NES bootlegs, such as Curly Monkey
Pretty Great video. Although I do have to correct a minor mistake You said that the Cheap fighting game on this console would make it to EVO Before Skullgirls. Last EVO. Skullgirls was a main event there
I'll ask when the channel got so bad when it misses. Which I don't see happening. Except tester, which is testers fault, hard to make something nice with the show equivalent of a rotten fish XD
My parents bought me one of these that looked like a tiny arcade cabinet. We don't even have arcades here in Germany, and i've only ever met 2 or 3 people who know what a cabinet even looks like.
Hey man I think after this you NEED a pallet cleanser so I recommend Evil West it’s a 3rd person action game where you play as a cowboy vampire hunter and personally speaking it’s really fun
I remember seeing that thing at Pilot Truck Stops years ago. I was curious about it but glad I kept my money. I get the feeling it was for hillbilly truckers to get their kids when they forgot their birthday.
Will garbage plug-and-play consoles be a new branch of content you put out?! Because at this point, I'll happily watch you review knock off cereal brands- your humor is just that on point.
18:19 Forest Adventure had stolen sprites and platform assets from the Maplestory DS game. There was a Stringe floating around and my monkey brain went ook.
So Jack quick tennis fact, those boxes on the side are only meant to count as in for two v two matches. Otherwise in single matches it's the two middle ones and the back one only.
I guess am easy to impress. In my 40's grew up with Commodore 64 and an Odyssey. I like these types of games. I have bought a few off Wish and AliExpress. I like them...I think they are all a blast.
I got one of these a couple years ago. Can't find it for some reason, but , hey, it's cheap and effective. I could just sit and play it and unwind. A lot of the games were fun and the art work was pretty good actually. I may have to go shell out 20 for another. It's fun and I do recommend.
My aunt got this for me cause she saw it and knew I liked games, I was forced to act like I loved it whilst mashing A and B for the rest of my birthday(being like 2 hours), I lost it the day after and didn’t care enough to look for it
0:00 - By the way I'm loving the No More Heroes Yugioh card transitions, nice little personal touch on a reference :3 0:14 - Whoa hold up what is that thing?! Is that....a tablet that plays physical NES games like a freakin' Game Boy?! Oh my God....I.......I gotta have that.....I GOTTA HAVE THAT! @ _ @ 7:08 - Well I mean Sony consoles these days are notorious for being shit so any excuse to smash that hunk of junk is a good one :3 8:35 - Personally I was more thinkin' Wii Sports but you do you man :3 12:20 - Oh Christ O _ o 16:10 - Okay what even is "Doki Doki" anyway? _(One Google Search Later)_ Japanese onomatopoeia for a heart beating quickly, usually with anticipation or excitement......huh..... 17:34 - At this point I'll just take your word for it can I go home now? 1:06 - Educational Games?! Oh hell no I'm out!
To add to the list of things this console rips off, the Baseball game is a pretty transparent ripoff of Backyard Baseball, a PC game that came out in the late 90s and spawned a pretty successful franchise of kids' sports games.
I might like this if I was 5 again in the 1980s but it's 2023 and you can play much better for free on your phones these days considering how powerful average smartphone is!
Wait, you bought this AND the movie Cats?! Geez, at that point, I’m sure the cashier would’ve just given you the cough medicine for free in order to help cure the lunacy they’d believe you’re coming down with.
I HAD ONE OF THESE, THEY'RE SO BAD LMAO i actually dropped it while playing solitaire on it one day and it never worked again after that, probably a blessing in disguise despite the price
Every time I see that weird handheld Based Loaded collection thing at my local Walgreens, I get a little tempted to buy it. I still haven't, but maybe someday...
I have this as well as an 8-bit version that I also got from walgreens AND a "Data East" official licensed version OF the 8-bit version that is identical to the normal one but has 5 extra games that are actual Data East titles (Shout out to 8-bit Crude Dudes/Busters for not totally sucking!) but all of these get hardly any use since I also found a GENESIS PORTABLE at Walgreens with an SD port to add roms, but that actually came with a slew of great Genesis games in-built: Splatter House 2, Mortal Kombat 2 and 3, Decap Attack and many more. It's literally the best thing ever.
I bought this at CVS a while ago. It sat on the back of our toilet until we moved and we threw it away lol. The interesting thing is that the box I bought had Pokémon DP sprites on them, but I spotted this again at the store recently, and they’ve been removed.
The best thing about this is that through this video I have stepped into some kind of rabbit hole. For the 2, maybe 3 people reading this, I will now introduce you to this rabbit hole. WARNING: There is a lot text. This Gameboy knockoff is not the only console like it. There is another console called the MiWi, a knockoff Wii plug and play system, that runs the same games that this one runs with the same menu and the same Waddle Doo sprite in one of the games. It is played with a knockoff Wii Remote and it uses motion controls for the sports games. The controls on that version of the console are some of the worst controls ever. How do I know all of this? Well, Vinny Vinesauce once played on a MiWi on stream. There is also another console named the Arcade Neo, made by a company named Millennium. The thing looks like a bootleg Gameboy Advance and instead of having pushable buttons you have LEDs on a display that work via touch controls. Surprisingly, the controls on that thing are pretty responsive. Now what do you think what games it runs? The exact same games that the other 2 consoles run, but this time the menu looks a bit different. However, it still has the same music and it also uses the Waddle Doo sprite in one of it's games. How do I know all that? Well, I own one of those. I also own another console from Millennium named the Arcade Genius. It looks like a fake Wii U gamepad and it runs almost all of the games that the other 3 run. There are also some other "original" games on that thing that the other once don't run and it has it's own unique menu with no music at all. The controls on that thing are terrible. This all leads me to believe that the games and software on these consoles are just stock assets that are somewhere out there and that everyone can just use for their console. There are probably a lot more consoles like this, so if the guy still reading this is interested, I guess there is a lot more to find out about this. You can see if you find more and maybe tell me what you found later, if you want. Or you can just forget you ever read this, idk. I just wanted to share something because I find this very odd. I will admit I also have a bit of nostalgia with the Millennium consoles because I played with those a lot as a kid, even though I owned a DS. I was a troubled child.
That cold must've made you real loopy to buy this *and* _Cats._ Makes great content, though.
Yea
For any non Americans wondering why a pharmacy is selling this and other non medicinal products, in America, nothing just sells one thing and everything needs to sell toys and games.
Edit: This is so common, Hasbro has exclusive transformers they only sell at Walgreens
Drug stores in the US occupy a niche between a gas station convenience store and a grocery store.
Pharmacies will also sell plenty of food items, so you can buy a pack of M&M's to make sure your blood pressure monitor works right!
They also sell alcoholic drinks and tobacco products
@@reaps2197 I see more nicotine products for the tobacco products, but maybe that's cause that's what I see at the counter.

$20 for 20 minutes of pain. Perfectly balanced.
The extra 1:23 is tax
The fact that the Skullgirls joke hit me hard is a testament to how much of a love/hate relationship I have with the damn game
The launch party. Never. Stops.
Where was the joke??
6:44 The ball was inside the court, but tennis courts are set up so that both doubles and singles can be played on them. You were playing singles, the doubles alleys are out of bounds.
Beat me to it lol
Still that game was bad
My mom bought that EXACT one at a CVS, and kept it with her for whenever she got stuck sitting around in the doctors office
I had convinced myself over the years that the Pokemon Gen 4 sprites I saw on the back of the game box was just a small fever dream in a Walmart

This harkens back to where I was so tempted to buy one of those Sega Genesis plug and play consoles (I thought it was an actual Genesis) at the Family Dollar near my college.
If you got the official one, it can accept Genesis cartridges alongside having the 80 games in the system.
I remember having one of those things, the only game that i was familiar with was Sonic & Knuckles, meanwhile the other games were some weird stuff i don't remember.
Pro tip: don't buy Genesis clones, they ALL get the audio wrong.

Singles tennis uses the inside lines. Doubles uses the outer. Your volley was indeed out, sir.
So Jack quick tennis fact, those boxes on the side are only meant to count as in for two v two matches. Otherwise in single matches it's the two middle ones and the back one only.
Reminds me of those handhelds in airplane mags that had hundreds of games.
I guess am easy to impress. In my 40's grew up with Commodore 64 and an Odyssey. I like these types of games. I have bought a few off Wish and AliExpress. I like them...I think they are all a blast.
At 6:43 the ball looks like it’s outside the first line which is the boundary in singles tennis so it would be out
I love your humor, I also love your videos, wish I could one day do something like this.
