1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,170
I'm not sure that anyone thought this product was ever gonna see the light of

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:14,009
day inside this box I've got this giant stack of retro game cartridges got some

3
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:16,680
Namco Games Technos Pico interplay mega

4
00:00:14,009 --> 00:00:23,910
cat and Atari games that I'm gonna be trying out on the ever Kade has held

5
00:00:20,939 --> 00:00:29,789
game console designed specifically for these older abandonware types of games

6
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:36,780
most of these I actually am not familiar with because as a 1986 baby I might

7
00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:38,280
actually be too young but we're gonna

8
00:00:36,780 --> 00:00:42,870
give it a shot today and even gonna have my son try out some of them so he can

9
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,890
see what gaming was like in the Stone Age and this video is gonna be brought

10
00:00:44,489 --> 00:00:50,550
to you by private Internet access it's a VPN that encrypts all your

11
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:54,719
internet traffic so you can use a safe protected IP you can connect up to five

12
00:00:52,739 --> 00:00:58,800
devices at once they've got Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux clients their

13
00:00:57,510 --> 00:01:04,229
internet kill switch keeps you in control of your connection and you can try it out risk-free with their 30-day

14
00:01:02,190 --> 00:01:09,270
money-back guarantee at the link in the video description let's have a look at

15
00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:16,290
the features of this thing the reaction to it has been a little bit mixed I'm a

16
00:01:11,790 --> 00:01:19,009
fan of the delightfully retro look but

17
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:24,119
I've seen some misgivings about particularly the shape and size of the

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:30,210
d-pad very clicky left and right triggers ABXY kind of snare style and

19
00:01:26,970 --> 00:01:31,920
curiously it's got a 16 by 9 display

20
00:01:30,210 --> 00:01:35,970
when a lot of these older games that you'd be playing would end up a pillar

21
00:01:33,869 --> 00:01:40,049
boxed in that case this is another interesting feature though in addition

22
00:01:37,259 --> 00:01:44,369
to being a handheld the ever Kade SC has a mini HDMI port so that you can

23
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:48,119
actually run it out to your TV you have a look at the accessories oh yes that's

24
00:01:46,290 --> 00:01:51,869
right so it comes in a couple of different configurations the starter

25
00:01:49,950 --> 00:01:56,610
pack comes with one cartridge and the premium pack the one that I have

26
00:01:53,310 --> 00:02:01,710
actually comes with three cartridges so

27
00:01:56,610 --> 00:02:05,090
between all of this I've got 10 10 game

28
00:02:01,710 --> 00:02:08,959
packs each with anywhere between 6 and

29
00:02:05,090 --> 00:02:11,160
20 games on the cartridges

30
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,930
- doesn't eat that kind of phone that's ok baby turns out this is the

31
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:19,379
switch that makes sense flipping it around to the bottom we've got volume up

32
00:02:17,310 --> 00:02:23,340
volume down a headphone jack and a USB micro-b port so that's gonna take care

33
00:02:21,420 --> 00:02:29,010
of charging the 2 thousand milliamp our internal battery that always get met you

34
00:02:25,079 --> 00:02:31,620
they claim around 4 to 5 hours of play

35
00:02:29,010 --> 00:02:36,689
time the console uses a 1.4 gigahertz quad-core processor in the screen

36
00:02:33,329 --> 00:02:39,239
resolution is 480 by 272 apparently you

37
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:44,010
are emulating the games on this handheld but the emulators are under license from

38
00:02:41,129 --> 00:02:50,540
ever caged so it's all like basically legit so I'm gonna let you pick what

39
00:02:47,730 --> 00:02:56,569
game or game pack should we try first okay all right I'm gonna get some super

40
00:02:53,819 --> 00:03:03,060
spike volleyball and some dodgeball double dragon to the revenge display is

41
00:03:00,510 --> 00:03:07,469
not terrible not great definitely TN AF horizontal viewing

42
00:03:05,969 --> 00:03:12,239
angles are pretty good though like it's definitely functional for a

43
00:03:09,239 --> 00:03:14,579
single-player experience you can see

44
00:03:12,239 --> 00:03:18,209
there's a two-player option but it's not actually two-player in its current state

45
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:23,129
so they left the two-player option in the game in case there's a future console that they can enable it with but

46
00:03:21,299 --> 00:03:28,019
this is a single-player only experience I would describe the sound output from

47
00:03:25,019 --> 00:03:30,120
the devices not amazing but good enough

48
00:03:28,019 --> 00:03:33,479
given the kinds of musical scores that we're listening to here and definitely

49
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:39,259
loud you gotta stop kicking backwards when you got any of these in front of

50
00:03:35,069 --> 00:03:39,259
there kiddo honestly I'm not sure it

51
00:03:39,739 --> 00:03:45,359
alright you ready to try another game

52
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:49,310
games used to be hard now I'm not sure how to get back into the menu here

53
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:56,879
alright well sure enough this is cool like most emulator software it's got

54
00:03:54,900 --> 00:04:01,759
full support for savestates that's a super dodgeball sure 1989

55
00:04:02,099 --> 00:04:07,859
yeah now who can't find the buttons it's

56
00:04:05,579 --> 00:04:14,040
up now I got to say the emulation does not look good on this one there is a lot

57
00:04:11,010 --> 00:04:15,959
of like flickering that I'm pretty sure

58
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:21,299
is not supposed to be there okay not all old games were good wait a

59
00:04:19,169 --> 00:04:25,919
minute oh I think I understand so you're the green players yeah you got

60
00:04:24,539 --> 00:04:29,039
to watch out for the guys that are wearing the white shirts okay you got to

61
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:35,970
stop hitting your own guys here all right good deal right in the face I

62
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:47,039
can't see myself playing this for longer than about 45 minutes I'm gonna try

63
00:04:38,820 --> 00:04:49,770
battle cars 1993 I mean you Georgie

64
00:04:47,039 --> 00:04:53,639
Georgia in the age of our long tutorial segments of games

65
00:04:51,210 --> 00:05:00,930
I do miss sometimes the whole just like hey pop the game in the console and play

66
00:04:56,870 --> 00:05:03,060
but I have no idea what's going on I'd

67
00:05:00,930 --> 00:05:06,630
say if you're after licensed versions of these games which are actually kind of

68
00:05:04,530 --> 00:05:11,729
hard to get your hands on these days the hardware is not bad for the price so

69
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:15,630
it's 79 US dollars for the one game pack version and then it's 99 for the three

70
00:05:14,159 --> 00:05:19,860
game pack version then the additional packs are I think $12 each or something

71
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:26,099
like that I want to say let me double check that $20 each it certainly doesn't

72
00:05:23,610 --> 00:05:28,979
hold up to modern triple-a gaming but for something to just kind of goof

73
00:05:27,539 --> 00:05:33,750
around with in your pocket if you're into red robes I've seen much worse

74
00:05:31,139 --> 00:05:39,870
value propositions okay here's the real question though if I tell you you've

75
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:41,759
only got an hour to play video games do

76
00:05:39,870 --> 00:05:46,620
you play with this or do you play with the switch or a VR or whatever else

77
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:49,020
suppose yeah it's kind of what I thought

78
00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:52,020
to cost a lot more dough so thanks for checking this out I think it's available

79
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:55,380
for pre-order now so we're gonna have that linked in the video description and

80
00:05:53,940 --> 00:05:59,599
we'll also have of course our sponsor private Internet access down there go check those guys out
