Who RoX the Box Unboxing International Fanmail from the United Kingdom
30In this video, we check out some new products coming from Old Skool and provided by Live Action Games, give you a heads up on some new content coming, and check out some fanmail all the way from the United Kingdom!
There has been so much going on as of late, and unfortunately that has caused a delay in some video content production lately. Thankfully, that should be coming to an end as the transition to the new job and getting back into a normal routine is starting to come together. We also had a chance to pick up some cool new gear we're excited to bring you information on.
One of the longest supporters of our channel is Paul from the UK. Paul has the honor of being the first person to buy one of our shirts from our T-Spring store. Paul has indicated he's wanted to send something into the channel for some time and he has sent us a very cool gift. Along with an awesome postcard from his home town, Paul also sent us in a set of Super Nintendo game-themed drink coasters. I've seen these before and Ginger has mentioned a desire to pick them up. Thanks to Paul and his generosity, we now have these added to our collection. Thanks so much for the love and support from the UK Paul!
Old Skool, the makers of the Classiq 2 Super Nintendo/Super Famicom and NES clone, now has a dedicated NES-only clone. The Classiq N features an HDMI output, 720P output, two of the most unique controllers I've ever seen and more. It promises a lot, but the Classiq 2 really disappointed in testing, so it will be interesting to see how this stacks up. Thanks to Adrian at Live Action Games for providing this sample for review!
In addition, while I was at Live Action Games Adrian mentioned that he had just recieved some new controllers from Old Skool. The first is for the Playstation 4, called the Double-Shock 4. This is designed to be a less expensive option for owners of the PS4 to add an extra controller to their library. While it doesn't have the same sort of connector on the front of the controller as the OEM Sony DualShock 4 controllers, it does have a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack. We'll be testing this out on the channel soon. For $39.99, this could be quite interesting.
Next up, Old Skool turned their attention towards the Nintendo Switch with the Wireless Pro Controller. I can't describe this controller well, other than to say it reminds me of... well.... it is like the Nintendo Pro Controller had a fat friend. I'm no skinny person myself so I am not saying this to be rude but at the same time it looks like, if it were to be filled with air, it was over inflated. I'm not sure how this will feel in the hand as of yet as I have not unboxed it and held it. I will say I am impressed that it indicates that it does have motion sensors in it.
I placed an order with CastlemaniaGames.com recently, where I ordered a new backpack for my Nintendo Switch. In addition, Ryan also threw in one of the new cases for the RetroTink 2X line multipler. We're going to be working on a tutorial to show how to retrofit your RetroTink 2X with one of these cases. I, for one, am excited to test this as, while the RetroTink 2X is a great device getting at the setting buttons can be a little challenging.
