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).

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

@wettuga2762 5 жыл бұрын

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!

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
