00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:09,480
So today we're unboxing kind of a unique product it is the Retro bit Retro genen

2
00:00:06,359 --> 00:00:11,080
Retro product retro unboxing today so as

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,879
you may or may not be able to tell by the name of the product this is a retro

4
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:19,119
product which is not to say it is an old product it is a new product but it is

5
00:00:17,279 --> 00:00:23,599
designed for you to play old Sega Genesis games so this is a handheld

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:27,080
console and let's go over a couple brief features before we open up the box here

7
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:31,000
first of all you've got AV out so that means you can run your old games on your

8
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,960
new TV should you desire it but one thing to be aware of is that you can't

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:38,680
use an additional controller so you're going to be looking at single player games only it is cartridge compatible

10
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:42,800
and something that I should mention is that these guys are talking about

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:46,480
releasing a developer cartridge that would allow you to use an SD slot to run

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:50,800
like Homebrew games or develop your own stuff very cool feature next you got a

13
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:58,680
lithium ion battery and it is USB enabled now this but wait there's more

14
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,719
262 color graphics and 2.8 in color LCD

15
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:05,720
screen now I've actually I'm being a little bit ironic here but the uh fous

16
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:10,040
sorry not ironic but the 2.8 in color LCD screen for my understanding is

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:13,119
actually quite excellent so we will find that out I may have to do a gameplay

18
00:01:11,759 --> 00:01:18,640
video later if the battery is not charged but let's get this thing open so

19
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:22,920
first of all we have a piece of foam okay and there you go there's uh there's

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,840
not a whole lot of uh leading up to it there that's it that is the Retro gen so

21
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,680
it comes with this snowboarder sticker so let's peel that off and have a look

22
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,799
at the screen itself so I'm actually going to get up and get a better

23
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:39,840
position here so I can sort of show how you hold it but you've got a d-pad over

24
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:43,799
on the left uh feels okay it's a little bit spongy feeling and it seems like you

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,360
won't be able to sort of know which direction you're pressing but actually

26
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:51,640
it's uh it's quite it feels quite nice on your thumb you got a reset button up

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:58,840
here start button over on the right hand side of the unit and then you've got a b

28
00:01:55,079 --> 00:02:00,320
c XY Z for your buttons for your left

29
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:05,119
thumb and those actually feel pretty good as well it's easy to hit uh I'd say

30
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:10,200
all of them actually are quite well positioned for your thumb so up on the

31
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:14,280
top of the unit you've got H I guess one of these is the AV out and one of them

32
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:18,239
is going to be the headphone jack this is probably the headphone jack because

33
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,879
here is your volume control that was pretty straightforward you've got a

34
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:27,239
little Notch here where you can attach a wrist strap and then you've got a USB

35
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,280
port on the bottom now oh down here is

36
00:02:27,239 --> 00:02:32,800
your onoff switch so you can see that's labeled right there it is off right now

37
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,480
and oh that's kind of hard to press but should be okay and I don't know what

38
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:41,879
this one does but I'm going to just flick it just for fun okay on the back

39
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,840
you can see this past the QC test

40
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:47,840
excellent that's very good and then right there that's where the magic

41
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:52,200
happens so that's where you insert the Sega Genesis cartridge so now let's get

42
00:02:50,519 --> 00:02:56,800
a little bit further into the box here and find out what else we have so

43
00:02:54,239 --> 00:03:01,480
there's a little paper protective thing and then there's a oh okay oh there

44
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,920
there's a manual the quick start guide kind of thing so this tells you what all

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,280
of the different buttons are so we can find out what that one on the bottom is

46
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:14,760
cuz I'm curious now oh it switches it between pal and ntsc so depending

47
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:19,040
whether the game is designed for one format or the other you can actually

48
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:22,400
switch it that's pretty cool okay so then how do you turn off the game player

49
00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:24,959
how do you okay so it's one-sided it's pretty straightforward there's not a

50
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:28,720
whole lot of substance there but it should help you if you're having trouble

51
00:03:26,799 --> 00:03:33,080
getting started with your retrogen here we have a USB a to mini B cable so

52
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:37,200
that's for charging the unit and then here's your AV out so it's uh oh that's

53
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:43,799
a mono audio out so you've got your video and mono audio it does not support

54
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:45,879
stereo out via this method So in theory

55
00:03:43,799 --> 00:03:50,640
we should be able to turn this thing on if it has a charge there's our power

56
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:57,319
indicator and it's on so it comes with a few preloaded games duel magic curling

57
00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:01,000
2010 maze 2010 awesome why don't we turn

58
00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:03,680
it off and I will grab a games so in my

59
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,079
tickle trunk here I have a few classic Sega Genesis games including World

60
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:12,000
Series Baseball Michael Jackson's Moonwalker and Tow Jam and Earl in panic

61
00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:18,040
on funkatron naturally we are going to go with Michael Jackson okay and let's

62
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:21,959
get that in there and see I just want to see how the screen looks and demonstrate

63
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:25,479
that so we've loaded the cartridge in you can see it sticks up a little bit

64
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:32,440
off the back you can see the label there so let's turn this baby on and ah there

65
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:34,440
we go so it's booting up and let's have

66
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,759
a look at how that screen looks the power is on on the bottom do I have to

67
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:44,440
press Start we have sound but no video at this

68
00:04:42,479 --> 00:04:47,800
time okay well we might have to do a separate video to show the uh screen

69
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:53,800
play back but thank you for checking out my video blog on the unboxing of the
