Thanks for the review! Feed back is so important and we always take it to heart. The X Pro II can only be made possible by the very users who have a passion for retro gaming like we do
Thanks Orlando!
Love when companies look for consumer feedback! Just ordered mine!
Is Sega Saturn playable ? And Openbor "Final Fight LNS" work ?
@@joezar33 Yes!
Are there WWF/WWE games like SmackDown and SmackDown 2 for ps1 and no mercy
Been playing video games since BEFORE they were retro. 60 years old and I get lost in the memories this console brings back. Such a great system, it's like my fountain of youth
I am flabbergasted, amazed, astonished, shocked, and so many other synonyms with this product. Honestly, it's brought me several evenings of joy and I've barely scratched the surface. I thought my younger self's gaming skills would come back like muscle memory, but the reality hit me that I have a lot of relearning to do. But, what a product to be retrained on!
It's time to write this.
Let me start by saying I bought 3 different consoles (all front different providers) but this is the best of all. My wife and I enjoy it when we play together; specially my wife when she wants her "me time " this is perfect excuse to be like a zombie in front of my tv playing with my X PRO II for hours and remembering my childhood exactly as I remember. On top that, customer service is EXCELLENT; long story short : I had and issue with my 64 controller and after a few instructions via email back and forth , this issue wasn't fix, but the Head technician took the liberty to call me on a weekend ( if I'm not mistaken, it was a holiday ) to walk me through and this issue was fix. I was surprised how efficient these guys are. If someday I have the money to invest with these guys I would totally do it. I hope this company grows because they are doing an EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, if someone if planning to buy one of this, I will highly recommend to buy the Ultimate plus bundle so you can have the whole experience. Trust me!!
Thanks Yo Geeky.
I have the xpro 2 older version and the handheld s series pro 2. The videos and customer serice was always available and helpful from start. Now with the new 2024 version I own the better just keeps getting better. So many games to choose, smooth interface, organised menus, better performance. Not sure how they improved on an already great product but they did. Anyone looking for a great producr that is worth the money. Do not even hesitate! 1000 out of 10!
Things worth every cent,got mines a few weeks ago and since then so many memories coming flooding in. I hook up my ps controller and bam perfection. They did an amazing job and have even better customer service. I asked them a million questions and they always responded quickly and politely. Thank you guys for everything, do yourself a favor and get one of these.
The controllers are a huge improvement. I’ve had the Xpro 2 for about 2 months now . I’d say it’s great through and through . Retrokat have really stepped up big time . I love the new controllers turbo feature the most . The silky smooth triggers and thumbsticks are a huge upgrade . I highly recommend you buy this one and you won’t look back .
Is arcade version on Narc on it?
@@mikewarner5583I have the new 2024 X PRO II 512 GB version, and Narc is on there sir.
I don't have one, but Narc arcade is on the game list.
@@mikewarner5583 Narc is on the 512 GB version for sure, because I looked for you.
Can you explain the Turbo feature and how do you turn it on?
You spoke and they listened, so both you guys have job satisfaction that gets passed onto the consumer! Very well put together!
As an old school gamer I love these creations. I would like to have one because theres so much on those old consoles that I never got to play. There for whats old to some will still be brand new to me, and I most definitey would make the most of my time with it.
Just ordered mine using the promo. Been looking for a while & contemplating trying to build one on my own. But after seeing this & that they seem to care about their product, decided to give them a try. Fingers crossed. Oh & great videos, dude.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy!!
I would like to have one in memory of my late grandpa. Video games are our bond aside from sports. Video games helps me to forget the stress of life for a couple hours.
I have had mine for over a month and it's a lot of fun. Brings you back to your. childhood. Awsome customer service and easy to use! Get yourself one!
I recently purchased the xpro 2. I watched many videos on andriod and rasberry systems. I can say that the high marks the xpro 2 gets is definitely accurate. Thank you again guys!
Let me tell you....i can't wait to get my hands on this. I've gone through a couple of these retro consoles, and this looks to be the real deal. Getting to play games like dynamite cop, all the street fighters, tokyo extreme racer, and the list goes on, i need this without a DOUBT!!! reliving my childhood in this fashion will be surreal!!
Thank you for the review buddy! I just ordered my X Pro II 2024 edition!
Worth every penny imho. No junk just a pure experience without smoke and mirrors. Awesome review 👍🏾
Received the X Pro II - Standard for my birthday and it is indeed quite amazing. Enjoying the new controllers (white & black as well. I delved into the Arcade section. Loving it!
Thanks so much. I'm going to get this console in the next month or so. I spoke with someone at the company and they told me of the upgrades, good to see them in action.
That's AMAZING man! Love that you're helping make a product better!
Thanks man. I try to keep criticism constructive on here with this in mind. Love how this came full circle.
Looks Great. Have been looking for an emulator to play the games of my youth. You convinced me. Ordered.
I’m totally ordering one. I have a huge game collection, but to have all the ones I grew up with and more, this thing is my next me purchase!!
I was introduced to video games very early. But it wasn’t until I got my first Nintendo that I fell in love with gaming. To be able to relive some childhood memories is awesome! Would be great to get one of theses. They look solid!
I would love to get one so I can relive my childhood it looks like an amazing compilation of games and systems
With all of the other junk out there similar to this, the X Pro II is the only console I’ve seen that looks like it would be actually worth having. Would love to grab one for myself in the future. The review of it looks pretty damn good and I just say, their customer support is top notch, extremely responsive.
Watched all the videos that you made about the device. In which i bought and now waiting to get mines and enjoy this once I get. The good thing it offers customer service and looks like its going to be the best device retro to enjoy just wait for anything that willl come from retrokat!
Are you able to tweak around with the emulator settings? Like filters, anti aliasing, frame skip etc?
I got to get that x-pro 2 with the 512 GB and ultimate Plus.
With the system I can play all the retro games that I haven't played in a while for a long time since I was a kid.
Such an amazing console. It brings back a lot of memories and you don't have to worry about pulling out all the older consoles to enjoy games from the past
Do you know if you can map the buttons?
I would definitely love to own this console, so many great games to be played
I have 2 of the X Pro 2s and one of the handheld consoles. The systems are absolutely amazing, and come packed with games and systems. The performance has been really good with all of them. The customer service is on another level of awesomeness. They are extremely quick to get back to you with any answers to your questions. They seem like they are consistently looking to improve everything and they really care about their customers and want you to have the best experience.
so glad i have subbed this channel content is fun to come watch
Thanks so much! Glad to hear that!
This is a cool option! I like that its built in North America and all the comments from RGG and others rave about the customer service, which is a huge plus. If you’re a retro gaming fan, this seems like a great option. I want one!
I've had mine for a while. Some issues i ran into was playing certain games you had to charge the settings to play the game. Other than that it's been fun playing some dreamcast games like Tech Romancer.
When he was playing Dreamcast it look super choppy and terrible. If it can’t even run Dreamcast games at full speed that’s pretty bad
I would like the x pro ii cause I grew up on most these games. Brings back good memories.
I’ve owned the X Pro ll as well as several handhelds and other products from this company for some time now. Not only are the products great quality, the customer service is excellent. I’m convinced this is the best plug and play out there. I’m a very happy customer.
Love this system so many great games to play
Between the gameplay improvement and new controllrs it looks like a worth while upgrade! Always room to improve but a nice step forward. Hoping to get one someday soon!
Just ordered one, can't wait to check it out.
You will not regret it. I play this thing more than my Xbox Series X. It is that much fun!
Would love an opportunity to have one of these and show my kids the golden age of video games!
I have the Expro 2 and love it and would love to have the Ultimate Plus Bundle.
Thank God for you !! Another awesome video !!! Video should have been longer only because to check out the performance of various collections. You are the Game God
So i was on the fence but so glad i got one. Amazing system. Not without minor issues but the pros greatly out weight the cons. Also the support on the back end is awesome and very quick turn around. Highly recommend the system. The games play great and has tons of options.
Great console already bought two of them its the best retro console i have ever played and bought would love to win another one!
Have been really impressed with the system so far. Some issues with performance on some of the more demanding games, but overall a good price for what you get. Definitely recommend.
Thank you!
This would be absolutely awesome for my podcast!!! I so need this.
I love my gaming console and I would love another one for the living room just so that I don't have to disconnect and pull it every time I want to play we take It outside and use it on the projection screen while we're swimming in the pool or sitting around a bonfire it's an amazing console and I've been very very happy with it so I would love to win another one
The controllers look a lot better, and I love the record number of games. I want to pick one of these up, soon! 👍
Love my X Pro II and I have an S Series too, both excellent
Man I got a S10+ with 128G a 512G card and a gamesirG8 for half that.
Trust me it will run everything this does plus more I've got it running GameCube almost flawless and having amazing results with PS2
I truly enjoyed your videos, they're absolutely interesting.
I love my previous version but this looks like a nice upgrade!
I have mine and love it. I recommend to anyone who purchases that they take the time to both read and watch instructions. There is a lot to take in. Most systems run flawlessly. A few N, 64 and Dreamcast issues but aside from that, top notch!
Yes the videos are helpful, especially the part about not messing with settings!
Great presentation when you turn it on. Awesome menu with gaming music for the background. Nice little history of each game from debut, publisher, story, etc on the side. A few duplicates I found so far (not talking about the version1 or version2 games) Controllers are reliable. Got the new controllers too and they function well. They put a lot of effort into making the gaming the best experience. I’d give it a (4 out of 5). If the N64 games emulation worked fine, I’d give it a perfect 5. I personally wished that had Crisis Core: FF and Jade Cocoon, instead of some of these duplicates. There are also Japanese imports that never made it over to the United States that you can play too. There are a lot of instructional/tutorial videos on the system too, so there is a chance to get them still.
Great review! Mine shipped today and am excited to play some old school games!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy!
This X Pro 2 is what I was hoping the Ouya was going to be back in the day. The Ouya was fun if you learned how to add games yourself. This takes the learning curve out of doing that and lets you simply PLAY!
This is by far the best plug and play system. You get support and help and this isn't some cheap Chinese Emulation system.
I'd love a X-Pro 2, it looks so much better than the original. The gameplay looks smoother & the controls definitely better than the previous controllers 😊
Would be awesome to win one & play it
I have the X Pro 2 and it’s unbelievable! It takes me back to being a kid in the arcade but now I don’t need quarters. For people on the fence ORDER IT! You will not regret it. I’d like another one because I should have ordered the 512gb instead of the 128 gb.
What are the gbs used for? Saving gameplay? Thanks
Larger SD card = more games@@elsauced4085
Very good collection of games. Everything you want from Atari to PS1 and everything in between.
This system looks top notch because i known i don’t have to build a libary myself it takes too long and hopefully the next model will have ps2 on it
This console looks legit. I would love to get my hands on this to relive my childhood memories.
Buff Daddy wins!!! Good console. Perfect for retro gaming. Thumbs up...Awesome review.
Looks like the only console I could ever need.
Emulation is the way to go
Yes!
It works on that
Whoever makes a quality, universal remote is going to make money.
I got mine almost a month ago. The 128 gb, because it's less expensive and I'm primarily interested in home consoles from Atari 2600 to NES, and of course MAME arcade games.
However it has been fun trying out games and consoles I'd never experienced. I don't need more games from systems I'm only slightly interested in so the 128 gb version is fine for a (mostly) 80s gamer.
I'll admit there was a small learning curve from someone who mostly played Atari 2600 and used a joystick. I'd never used these types of controllers before. So I had to figure that out. I will say they are easy to use, but my big complaint is in playing classics like Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Berzerk, Joust and River Raid without a joystick. Gameplay just isn't the same for me and I don't get that nostalgic experience I was hoping for. The game play just isn't great on certain games that require quick, sharp movements like Berzerk or (most notably) Ms Pac Man and Pac Man. I tried all the different versions of Ms Pac Man across different consoles and, honestly, some were unplayable (to me) because I could not maneuver my character the correct way. But I did find a few versions that were acceptable, but I was hoping for more than acceptable.
So what I'm saying is that I wish Retrokat had an option to get a compatible joystick. Or maybe someone knows of one that will work I can get elsewhere? But then it needs to be able to navigate the menu. I'm not sure how that would work, but that's my biggest complaint.
I love that there are not a bunch of duplicates and the menu is set up great. Easy to use and I like the info it provides on the sytems and games.
My second criticism is all the computer games on this. I can't figure out how to play them, lol.
Other than that it's LOTS of fun! It takes me back to my Jr High and Highschool days. Hundreds of hours in my parent's basement playing Atari 2600 on an old black n white tv, or at my cousin's who had a fancy color tv and way more games, lol.
I know by today's standards these old games may seem cheesy and primitive, but to me it's a time machine back to more fun, better days.
JUST PLEASE COME OUT WITH A JOYSTICK FOR THIS!!!!
* I do recommend this over all other ones you can currently get. It's worth every penny.
I give it an 8.5 out of 10. A joystick would give it a 10.
I understand the frustration when playing certain games with the control pad and not a joystick. I’ve never reached the level in Ms Pacman using a control pad that I would on an arcade machine. Was much smoother with a joystick.
I was wondering, would a usb joystick work with this console?
These systems usually accept all joysticks that work with a pc. I use the 8bitdo arcade stick with my scx and it works great.
Retro gamer guy what is your best handheld player and tv player you recommend from your opinion and also do they have anything that plays game cube games? Finally last question star wars trilogy arcade will they ever come out with a way to play this at home?
I’ve always wanted a system like this but can’t seem to pull the trigger. Hopefully can win one.
This is the one to get. I just got one about a month ago, and I am VERY satisfied with the purchase. Worth every penny.
@@doug2001can you map the buttons on the controller?
@@thaistomp Yes you can. I had to do that on MAME for Mortal Kombat.
@@doug2001 Thanks bro. And I’m guessing you can use any usb wired controller or stick right?
@@thaistomp You are welcome. I am not sure about what controllers are compatible. I use the included one that is wireless. I am pretty sure that I read that someone has used a stick successfully.
Cool video Kurt, that's for the overview!
I would love to have the xpro 2 to play the video games I used to play as a kid. Alll of these other systems are missing one or multiple of the consoles that are included in the x pro.
I want one so bad!!!
This is Really Awesome and I really enjoyed mines too 🙌🏻😁
But to power it off do you just unplug from device when finished ?
No go through the menu and hit shut down
@@OfficialChaseBrogan Got it Thank You 😊 But man I really enjoying this plus all Sega and NES games bring back my childhood memories
Could you add link to this version you reviewed? Too much noise with previous version. Also would love to see a list of games available 128GB vs 512GB. Thanks for the help and I am a new fan of the channel. Kudos!
Thanks so much. The link I provided in the description would be the one here. 512gb standard just to confirm in case the link resets the version selected. I don't have a list but you may be able to contact them for one.
Can it be shipped to the UK?
I appreciate your detailed reviews and for this console I'm quite excited.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I live in Glasgow UK.
Thank You for taking the time to read this.
Eric.
Excellent Review 👍
I really enjoy your videos, they are very interesting, but I'd like to see more about PS1, PSP and the above games... PS2, Xbox, Nintendo WI, DS, Nintendo 64, could you please bring us some more of it?..
Maybe in a special channel? 💁🏼♂️😁
Wigs you all the best of success!
✌🏼🤓🎮
Question- does this build have filters to help give it a more pixelated authentic look? I am Interested in buying, believe it or not I don’t like how old school games look on new TV’s/lcd’s, etc it’s too smoothed over and slightly blurry. This ability Is a big feature for me, I know other builds by other makers can and showcase it.
Yes it does!
Is Narc on it!???
I have the previous one, and while I don't have too many complaints about it, the disappointing thing for me is the turbo settings on the Turbo Grafx 16 for the 2 buttons seem to not exist... And with the abundance of shooters on that console, it hurts. Switching the controls over to the 6 button control pad also causes the controller to wig out and move up and yo the left automatically. Unless I'm missing something, it definitely was disappointing. I wonder if this version addressed this issue?
The new version controllers have turbo functionality built in!! While this may have been a software limitation it's now handled purely by hardware so it shouldn't wig out anymore!
You really need to tell us how much you can upscale these games. Just playing the game really doesn’t tell us anything. Is it powerful enough to upscale n64 games to 1080p and still keep a good frame rate? How bout Dreamcast? Did any of this have frame skip turned on? When you were playing Dreamcast it looked super choppy and terrible. For what this thing cost that is ridiculous that it’s can’t play Dreamcast smooth. You should keep the frame rate counter on the top right corner so we can see the FPS you are getting. It’s a setting you can turn on pretty easy. Stuff like that really helps us to understand how powerful or not these things are.
You don't need to tinker with any upscaling! For the majority of people just seeing the game play is more then enough :) If someone is hyper critical about the nuances of FPS then they will more then likely have the technical know-how to build their own exactly to spec.
@@retrokatgaming that’s not true. I have the know how but I’ve never used this particular box before so I need to know how high it can upscale so I know if I want to buy it or not. When he was playing Dreamcast, it was stuttering like crazy and for something that cost $180 that is unacceptable. I have a $99 emulation handheld that can run Dreamcast perfectly.
Thanks for your opinion. We've already implemented more changes to make DC smoother. Have a great day!
@@turnbasedtoddy7664 I totally agree with you. DC was still looking shaky, I think the reviewer was being nice..
I want and need this so bad!!! I wonder if Gamecube is included. Hmm...I better save some money for this one.
Unfortunately, Gamecube is not included. Maybe a future build will have that as well as PS2. If they do add those in the future, I will GLADLY buy another one.
@@doug2001 oh that's cool! I'll still get this one and get the update!
@@lrjtmntfan You will not regret it! 👍
I would love to win the new one with more games i didnt get a chance to upgrade but i love what i have on my pro ii
Look good I'm glad to see some one from my city. But I'm trying to find a killer instinct arcade 1 up or do you know if this play good
Improved is definitely a true statement, resolution of the UI and games that I have played is excellent (crisp & clear / no graininess). Improved controllers gives a more tactical type game play and the game selection is vast.
Overall for the price this is well worth it (512GB), not including your buying from a reputable company which goes far beyond to address customer concerns. I'm satisfied and a good entertainment investment for years to come - RetroKat A++++.
Loved the review and seems like a beastly console that can handle a lot! I really hope I win one
Those PS1 games MUST be PBP format to put 1,000+ on a 512G card. Right? If they were CHD, then 512G would be basically what you'd need for 1k ish ROMS.
Costs $394 !! Better off with a 3 TB drive or higher !! This has over 54,000 games .
Yes, much better when they don't mix PSP mini with PSP games
I wish they would just remove the consoles it can't handle. Because all the other older stuff plays excellent.
Nah you can always transfer those over to your PC and emulate them there
They update it all the time. Rather have it then not@@FerinaAryele
@@FerinaAryele Oh didn't think of this! Don't have a PC but nice to know there's a way to giving those a use
What consoles can it not handle?
@@leemyers7353 handles everything thrown at it just fine. has some hiccups with dreamcast but that's about it
Ur pretty damn good at sega tennis.
I play it a little too much lmao.
Love your videos. Still trying to figure out which plug and play to get. I see it has 70 3DO games. Were you able to test any of them?
I actually did test a couple and they were working.
Nice little console!!!
Can you recommend anywhere online that ships to Australia I'm having no luck. Or can you recommend a plug and play game console that is sold in Australia that is decent
We ship to Australia :) - Look at the link in the description of this video
Cool machine!
Does it without problems play Killer Instinct 1/2 and Gold?
I really want one so I can relive my childhood gaming days while also introducing my kids to video gaming through this massive library of games from so many consoles that's super user friendly. I can see fun family games nights in the near future 😍
Are the SD cards a good quality brand? The 128g vs the 512g, what’s the game lists?
Lexar!
My 2 controllers are blk and blue just got today from company
List of SNES/Superfamicom games???
I presume it’s Emuelec
Is it better to get a top of the line Emulec Android box like this (which seems to cap at Dreamcast) or get a Nvidia Shield and just setup Hyperspin?
