Actually, the censored game isn't Doki Doki Panic. The character-select screen for Doki Doki Panic resembles a book. The stage-like one with the curtains was a SMB2 addition.
My guess is that it is not actually Doki Doki panic. It is probably one of the old ROM hacks that was made purely to be edgy and offensive like The Jungle Book ROM hack that was shown.
They said the system was given to her son for Christmas, implying she didn't buy it. It sounds like either an elderly family member didn't realize it was fake, or someone went, "Eh, the kid won't know the difference." And bought it because it was cheap.
not knowing anything about video games is evergreen and will always get ratings from some meemaw who tells their kid/grandkid to stop playing the nintendo so much
@pixelshroom3413 Even if it was nude, it's so difficult to see these pixels that your imagination has to fill in the ''nakedness'' of these characters so they could have shown it. I've seen way worse images on the news and that wasn't censored at all, but look out, a pixel lol. Media can be weird sometimes. I am however European, so I am not sure if the censorship here is a little more different to let's say America in terms of television or 35 year old videogames. I don't think anyone would have cared here to be honest and people would have laughed at the stupid long censor bars because it made it look way worse 🤣
So, because the characters are black, it has to be censored on the screen? We can't look at black characters in a video game. WTH? Bottom line, parent is responsible for not doing her homework.
These are the same parents who buy GTA for their 6 year old, then go online and complain about games being too violent and thinking video games are just for kids.
I've met people my age (35) who will buy knock off consoles and then try and call Nintendo or Sega or Sony or Microsoft to demand refunds from them and that they take the product off the market....
I'm not surprised that that thing was being called a bootlegged Nintendo switch! You'd be surprised how many people asked me if my Kindle was an iPad. It came up a shocking amount of times! This sort of thing is STILL happening! Not too long ago one of my coworkers bought a Kindle fire and demanded I install expensive iPad apps on it insisting that "it's an iPad"... She's MY AGE!!!
Lol I used to have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 . It was one of their smallest tablets. Like 8 inches. A lot of people thought it was a big phone.😅 And a lot of people think that Samsung and Pixel are the only Android devices. The Kindle is also an Android device. Just with a modified skin.
@@9Tailsfan mine wasn't a Kindle Fire, it was a Kindle 4, the only thing it did was read books. No backlight, no color, and a barely functioning "OS"... At some point apparently Amazon "updated" and made it so I couldn't even put books on it so it just became a somewhat more expensive glorified paper weight.
"They say they removed it from their site but as of today it was listed by another third party seller." Tell me you don't know how e-tail works without telling me you don't know how e-tail works. The only thing they can do to prevent having to play whack-a-mole every time it pops up is completely disable third-party sellers entirely, which they will never do because it allows them to make money off of people selling stuff without having to pay them like employees.
I'm pretty sure those """journalists""" (one set of quotation marks just isn't enough here) don't even know how toilet paper works, or light switches, or wheels, or shoes.
Feels like being in the 90s all over again. Good lord. lol Nobody in their 30s who grew up with video games should still be getting fooled like these but the constant with parents and movies, TV and video games is that they'll just never take personal responsibility.
Its like Chad is almost getting into a narrative. Luckily they seem informed what a knockoff console is, even if some of the things he said sound pretty asinine.
The very obvious message that should have been made through that news report was "Don't buy Knock Off products if you don't want to see questionable material."
It’s really ridiculous how unknowingly parents and grandparents will get knockoff stuff. My mother (slightly older than the mom in this video) picked up a DVD case from the bargain bin at Big Lots (which was clearly a foreign knockoff) and confidently told me and my sisters, “hey look, Tarzan!”
Pfft, I've seen older people get trcked by those fake movie trailers on UA-cam and think it's real. I had to explain why Back to the Future 4 isn't a thing....
Given how the news reporters went to Disney I'm shocked that the newsroom did not attempt to reach out to the Rudyard Kipling's estate to comment on the Jungle Book video game
Actually, the censored game isn't Doki Doki Panic. The character-select screen for Doki Doki Panic resembles a book. The stage-like one with the curtains was a SMB2 addition.
Honestly it's easy to forget that the way the gaming industry works isn't common knowledge to non-gamers. I worked at Walmart's electronics section for a while, and I still remember this one time an adult man came in to try and get a copy of GTA V for his OG XBox.
Back in 2018, I was in a Gamestop, someone came in asking for Dreamcast games and a Mario game on Xbox 360. In all fairness though, the person was in a wheelchair and was mentally handicapped I think.

Well, I can give credit for a news article being made for the local news because it is a way to get Grandma and folks who aren't super tech savvy who watch the news to at least be aware that these sort of things exist. They may not fully understand, but at least they will be more careful around these sorts of things.
Just last month I picked up an SNES mini from a Goodwill for $4.99. It didn't have the power cord or the controller, but I use the USB adapter for my Genesis mini and one of my Wii pro controllers with it and it works great. That was a heck of a find.
It looks like you can still get the official controllers at a decent price. Heck, if you manage to find an NES Mini for a similar price at a Goodwill, you can use those same controllers, even if it might ruin the "authenticity" a little.
They've probably never heard of Grimace, but are intimately familiar with butt-plugs, so naturally they assumed that's what the big purple character-thing on the screen was supposed to be.
the mom talks about original 90s games like she played them groiwing up and that she knew all about them. But she didn't even realize what she bought was an obvious knock off of Nintendo.
and is not like the box said Nintendo i could forgive her if that was the case but knowing that it was not she got it and of Crouse blames anything but herself
@@songohan1238 yeah. With every Nintendo product that I've personally noticed, you always notice that trademark Nintendo. It's always the first thing I notice without even looking for it.
I get the feeling she's the type of person who did play videogames but kinda moved on with other hobbies, and thus isn't super knowledgeable on how to buy retro stuff on the internet.
40+ year old here. Here's what happened. Younger x/older milennial women (80s kids) may have actually played these games when they were under 12. But keep in mind there was no internet yet, or any sense of what exactly was changed with some of these games. Most american children probably had never seen an untranslated japanese game. They didn't even really show those in gaming magazines at the time. When these girls grew a little older, they met Chad in middle/high school and games were for nerds. Maybe they still played tetris occasionally. Later, in their LATE 20s (tick tick) they magically decided that gaming was cool again. Which is why everyone expects these "girl gamerz" to know all this stuff, and they often don't. Anyway, that's why women like this one knew what Super Mario 2 was, but didn't get the memo about even comically low barrier of entry trivia like "mario 2 (us) -> doki doki panic (japan)." I don't think she was faking her knowledge of Mario 2. It's just deeper localization knowledge was something you'd only learn later in life post internet if you still had a personal interest in gaming as a hobby. So pre internet adolescence was her cut off for gaming knowledge from first hand experience. I can't speak for the other generations, nor (disclaimer) am I talking 100% about every last x/mil woman (please don't @ me). The observation generally holds as a rule, and any genuine exceptions only serve to prove it by being exceptional. But sure, mileage may vary. Usually does. Gen z was probably different. Idk.
40+ guy here. I actually bought a knock-off NES Mini a couple years back from a pawn shop for $20. When I realized my mistake, I lmao'd and began going through the "640" games it had. While the console wasn't in a box, a closer examination would have made it clear it wasn't an NES Mini. That's not going to be the case for everyone, especially considering how widespread the knock-off gaming market is these days. It's easy to assume adults of a certain age shouldn't fall for it, but that's also assuming that adults of a certain age were invested enough in games to know the difference. Imma cut this mom some slack on the purchase; the news report was a bit much, but she's right to be concerned about the content.
We don't even know if she was the one who had actually bought it since it said it was gifted to the kid. Someone else in the family could have bought it. I don't think it was mentioned where it came from. She could have been scammed by an online seller if she bought it online and they had used the official product images to trick people into thinking they were getting the real thing. And yeah. I think she wasn't wrong to be concerned about the content of the games. It feels like kids in the comments want an excuse to bash on an adult.
The fact that it is even possible to even be considered old makes me feel like I've watched this guy for decades lol. I remember when he first introduced that intro back in like the beginning of 2018 (I've been watching him since 2016 I think)
No one in this news segment seems to be duped. The only confusion is the lady who came to the conclusion that SMB2 was altered to be more offensive but that's understandable given the number of other titles on the machine were. But you have to remember that grandma and grandpa are their target audience.
@pigs18 that was the original version of the game, it was bought by Nintendo 14 years before 9/11 Nintendo, added mario, luigi, peach,and toad to it, and removed doki
@reboxtherapy Based on the knock-off system's library, I'm pretty sure the game she was referring to was Blackman 2, not Doki Doki Panic. Though Blackman 2 may also have been a reskin of DDP rather than SMB2 for all I know
If there's one constant in the universe, it's parents not paying attention to what they buy their kids and then getting pissed at everyone but themselves.
My parents actually ended up buying one of those 400 million in 1 game consoles recently. The input lag on it is insane, it's hard to jump + whip the candles in Castlevania
Louis Vuitton has some explaining to do. Clasp broke on my daughter’s purse after three days. They said that’s not their problem. Just because of the “Louie Baton” typo in the design. Spent a whole $5 on that purse!
Hah I love that they censored "woody" on direct capture but not on the over the shoulder shots. Also the fact that they have paper luigi but the other 5 icons are sprites, not even very good ones.
So this woman who claimed to have grown up playing games on the SNES and such, failed to noticed the distinct LACK of any Nintendo branding that is on literally anything Nintendo put out? Yeah I'm calling BS. She's just too ashamed that she got scammed for a knock off and didn't know any better.
My parents bought knock off stuff before on Amazon for my nieces and nephew usually LEGO and action figure knockoffs and i have to constantly warn them about the stuff. A lot of it is targeting people who are doing last minute holiday shopping. Luckily they haven't done it with videogames.
We’ve all seen these online, especially Facebook market place, and even in person at malls or other stores. I would not expect for these knockoffs to have nudity. I definitely don’t blame the parents. This is why the ESRB exists.
Title should be Parents Upset Over Bootlegged Console. Here I was expecting them to be upset over something like Earthbound. If I were a lesser person I'd call this clickbait.
when the parent first starts talking about it she said it was a gift. i know she did it for the 'wrong' reasons, "i wanted to play it first", but she still checked it first and then realized it was not what she was expecting.this feels like the kind of toy older grandparents would buy because its similar enough and they might not be super discerning, but hey they can get a toy they got for their kids for the grand kids too. the whole thing sucks (the situation, not the video)
My brother bought me one by accident for Christmas. I felt really bad for him because he was excited to get me something he thought I would truly enjoy, only to find out it was a knockoff product. However, we kept it anyways, and had fun with the silly games they had on it. It was an interesting present!
This is why...parents...you check the games for adult stuff before you give it to your kid(s)...oh wait,im sorry..i forgot that you parents can be kinda dumb and act like karens some times
Tbf, this mother said she started up the console before the son played it. And she said it was gifted to the family, so if anything, she's checking to make sure the product is appropriate....so that's being a good parent.
'I believe parents should pay attention to the games they give their kids...' No sh!t, Sherlock. Being aware of what media your child is consuming and what presents you are gifting them is part of being a responsible parent. Blindly giving your kid a SNES shaped box with over 800 games without questioning its legitimacy (hint: there weren't even 800 SNES games in the US market) then publicly whining about your inability to take accountability is part of being a karen.
I would be too embarrassed to even buy this in a store. Imagine broadcasting it to the entire country saying you were defrauded simply because you feel stupid.
Yes! Chadtronic has finally returned, folks! *a woman walks up to me and whispers* Huh? Uh-huh. I see. Alright, thank you. *the woman leaves* … WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE NEVER LEFT?!?!
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios I am subscribed and have all notifications turned on, and yet this is the first video from him that has appeared in my notifications in at least a year
I picked this console up, and even upon purchase, I knew it wasn't official in any way, but for how cheap it was, it was what I wanted for a travel game with games I missed. Not perfect, but something to do for the price of a fast food meal.
IDK the mother seemed very reasonable, sure she bought a product the was obviously the wrong thing, but I don’t think she was angry at any one thing, more so trying to spread awareness to other parents considering buying Mini SNES for their kids, despite the fact that this is something the parents should’ve already been aware of.
To be less reactionary (hence why I don't have a a big social media presence). I think the presence of adult theamed ROM Hacks vs the original ones is probably the biggest thing I think not everyone will pick up on. I think most people know it is knockoff product, but being sold on official channels via Amazon and Walmart does mean there should had been some basic quality control and review.

They know enough to realize these consoles are sus, but not enough to know exactly WHY. The irony is palpable.
Hoot wireless.
Oh my gosh Chad vs the news is back.
40+ guy here. I actually bought a knock-off NES Mini a couple years back from a pawn shop for $20. When I realized my mistake, I lmao'd and began going through the "640" games it had.
While the console wasn't in a box, a closer examination would have made it clear it wasn't an NES Mini. That's not going to be the case for everyone, especially considering how widespread the knock-off gaming market is these days. It's easy to assume adults of a certain age shouldn't fall for it, but that's also assuming that adults of a certain age were invested enough in games to know the difference. Imma cut this mom some slack on the purchase; the news report was a bit much, but she's right to be concerned about the content.
We don't even know if she was the one who had actually bought it since it said it was gifted to the kid. Someone else in the family could have bought it.
I don't think it was mentioned where it came from. She could have been scammed by an online seller if she bought it online and they had used the official product images to trick people into thinking they were getting the real thing.
And yeah. I think she wasn't wrong to be concerned about the content of the games. It feels like kids in the comments want an excuse to bash on an adult.
That intro never gets old
The fact that it is even possible to even be considered old makes me feel like I've watched this guy for decades lol. I remember when he first introduced that intro back in like the beginning of 2018 (I've been watching him since 2016 I think)
No one in this news segment seems to be duped. The only confusion is the lady who came to the conclusion that SMB2 was altered to be more offensive but that's understandable given the number of other titles on the machine were. But you have to remember that grandma and grandpa are their target audience.
@pigs18 that was the original version of the game, it was bought by Nintendo 14 years before 9/11 Nintendo, added mario, luigi, peach,and toad to it, and removed doki
@@reboxtherapy Wow! Really?! No way! (FYI: Doki isn't a character. It's the onomatopoeia for a heartbeat.)
@reboxtherapy Based on the knock-off system's library, I'm pretty sure the game she was referring to was Blackman 2, not Doki Doki Panic. Though Blackman 2 may also have been a reskin of DDP rather than SMB2 for all I know
Breaking news: parents just realized there are fake consoles and ripoffs. What's the name everyone's calling them... Hmmm... Shoe-feets?
Super Nintendo Classic? I thought this was going to be about those complaints parents had about the actual OG Super Nintendo!
If there's one constant in the universe, it's parents not paying attention to what they buy their kids and then getting pissed at everyone but themselves.
This is the problem with media. They chose not to even do their own research.
"X-rated"
"Super Nintendo freakout in 2024"
Me not even a minute into this: "Boomers are freaking out over an illegal ROM-box aren't they..." lmao
that must been the knock off north American canada USA and south American brazil snes though. which it is the cool baby 2
My parents actually ended up buying one of those 400 million in 1 game consoles recently. The input lag on it is insane, it's hard to jump + whip the candles in Castlevania
Louis Vuitton has some explaining to do. Clasp broke on my daughter’s purse after three days. They said that’s not their problem. Just because of the “Louie Baton” typo in the design. Spent a whole $5 on that purse!
The only story here is that Amazon and Walmart have no control over what most third party sellers are putting on their storefronts.
They don't care as long as they get their cut of the profits.
"Where's the source?"
Every news channel: Trust me
The next video should be about Parents upset over parents upset over parents being upset
so glad we getting the classic content back instead of none stop cursed commercials
I love CC, but yeah. I dig the variety.
Ditto all the above, love CC but also love the classic style content
Hah I love that they censored "woody" on direct capture but not on the over the shoulder shots.
Also the fact that they have paper luigi but the other 5 icons are sprites, not even very good ones.
Another “parents upset” video! Frickallujah!
Frickallujah!
Frickallujah!
frickallujah!
Africk!
For real though what is up with that weird rom hack of McKids?
So this woman who claimed to have grown up playing games on the SNES and such, failed to noticed the distinct LACK of any Nintendo branding that is on literally anything Nintendo put out? Yeah I'm calling BS. She's just too ashamed that she got scammed for a knock off and didn't know any better.
A new "parents upset" video, and it's about video games? I'm loving this return to the classics!
Hello it is already been 1 year (forever) since TPOT 2 Minecraft. We need tpot 9 Minecraft!
I always love a good Parents upset video from Chadtronic
My parents bought knock off stuff before on Amazon for my nieces and nephew usually LEGO and action figure knockoffs and i have to constantly warn them about the stuff. A lot of it is targeting people who are doing last minute holiday shopping. Luckily they haven't done it with videogames.
We’ve all seen these online, especially Facebook market place, and even in person at malls or other stores. I would not expect for these knockoffs to have nudity. I definitely don’t blame the parents. This is why the ESRB exists.
The only upsetting part about the SNES Classic is the aftermarket price 😭
I only fear for the day the parents come for Chad
Parents upset over Chadtronic
7:36 the design is more akin to a PS Vita if anything
Bootleggers just stole fan hacks and there’s a lot of naughty ROM hacks on NES/Famicom for some reason
Worst part? Some parents are probably blaming Nintendo just because it looks like a snes
This reminds me of the Scott The Woz bootlegs video loll
Title should be Parents Upset Over Bootlegged Console.
Here I was expecting them to be upset over something like Earthbound. If I were a lesser person I'd call this clickbait.
I never expected a dodgy mockbuster product to be in this video in anyway
when the parent first starts talking about it she said it was a gift. i know she did it for the 'wrong' reasons, "i wanted to play it first", but she still checked it first and then realized it was not what she was expecting.this feels like the kind of toy older grandparents would buy because its similar enough and they might not be super discerning, but hey they can get a toy they got for their kids for the grand kids too. the whole thing sucks (the situation, not the video)
My brother bought me one by accident for Christmas. I felt really bad for him because he was excited to get me something he thought I would truly enjoy, only to find out it was a knockoff product. However, we kept it anyways, and had fun with the silly games they had on it. It was an interesting present!
LMAO the Jungle Book kid is packing some heat. 😂
Emulators are great but I NEED people to build their own rom collections
surprised they haven't talked about some of the hentai puzzle games and "Hentai Golf" just flat out on the Switch download shop
Parents makes mistakes for their kids over Nintendo consoles.
yep.
@@xxsuperproductionsxx138 or parents makes mistakes for their kids over sega consoles only console Microsoft consoles though.
The news guy sounds like Kermit wtf 💀
This is why...parents...you check the games for adult stuff before you give it to your kid(s)...oh wait,im sorry..i forgot that you parents can be kinda dumb and act like karens some times
Tbf, this mother said she started up the console before the son played it. And she said it was gifted to the family, so if anything, she's checking to make sure the product is appropriate....so that's being a good parent.
'I believe parents should pay attention to the games they give their kids...'
No sh!t, Sherlock. Being aware of what media your child is consuming and what presents you are gifting them is part of being a responsible parent. Blindly giving your kid a SNES shaped box with over 800 games without questioning its legitimacy (hint: there weren't even 800 SNES games in the US market) then publicly whining about your inability to take accountability is part of being a karen.
I really like to see adults getting angry at everything for the stupidest reasons
You had me at Shoot Game with Mike Tyson Shoot really that looks normal LOL.
What’s funny is that I was watching the Parents upset over Nintendo DS video when I saw the notification for this video
I would be too embarrassed to even buy this in a store. Imagine broadcasting it to the entire country saying you were defrauded simply because you feel stupid.
Why does the so-called Switch look more like a Vita? 😅
5:53
... yes. That does look like a KNOCKOFF Nintendo Switch, which is what he said it looked like
the nintendo switch wrapped playstation portable / playstation vita got me 😭😭😭
Didnt think chadtronic out of all people would be covering this
Yes! Chadtronic has finally returned, folks!
*a woman walks up to me and whispers*
Huh? Uh-huh. I see. Alright, thank you.
*the woman leaves*
…
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE NEVER LEFT?!?!
I thought the same. I guess UA-cam's algorithm has been neglecting to show us his new videos 😮
Simple, you haven’t subscribed to his channel.
@@ShockwaveFPSStudios I am subscribed and have all notifications turned on, and yet this is the first video from him that has appeared in my notifications in at least a year
@@ShockwaveFPSStudiosIt's just not as if everyone has notifications enabled
I picked this console up, and even upon purchase, I knew it wasn't official in any way, but for how cheap it was, it was what I wanted for a travel game with games I missed. Not perfect, but something to do for the price of a fast food meal.
IDK the mother seemed very reasonable, sure she bought a product the was obviously the wrong thing, but I don’t think she was angry at any one thing, more so trying to spread awareness to other parents considering buying Mini SNES for their kids, despite the fact that this is something the parents should’ve already been aware of.
8:42 Cool ! a Jungle book game with Toy Story characters...
Oh wait
chadtropic is back no way
It's their fault for buying a fake console lmaooo
Ladies and fricks,
👇
"Hey what's up"
@Alebro2ishDo it (not really)
@Alebro2ishbro😭😭😭
No they got chadtronic 😭
Like beggars suk dix
I can’t believe I’d be coming back to chadtronic after so long
To be less reactionary (hence why I don't have a a big social media presence). I think the presence of adult theamed ROM Hacks vs the original ones is probably the biggest thing I think not everyone will pick up on. I think most people know it is knockoff product, but being sold on official channels via Amazon and Walmart does mean there should had been some basic quality control and review.
This felt like a school project. "Make a report about something and we'll go through all the processes for a final grade."
5:56 "Does that look like a switch to you?" No, that's why they said "knock-off Nintendo Switch", which is clearly audible starting at 5:50
Thats a knock off PSP
