Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Weikin Portable Handheld Rechargeable Connectivity Device by Patrick Johnson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not disappointed, not overly impressed.

This system has a few oddities. My biggest complaint is probably the D-Pad. Every other controller or handheld I've used has a pivot in the center for the arrows to swing around. On this device, you can press the entire D-Pad. Because of this, some action games don't feel quite right. I've had it for 2 days now and haven't even tried all the games yet. Many of the ones I've tried are clones of other famous games. For example, the first on the list, Kung Fu Panda, is just Super Mario Bros with all the graphics and partially changed music. Super Mario Bros in its original form is here too, so I don't even know why. Super Mario 6 is Tiny Toon Adventures where nothing has changed except that Mario replaces Buster. Several games have changed some of the enemies, but the gameplay has remained the same. Some games have little things like missing pre-level title cards (like Spider-Man). Some games are even in English in Chinese. In Rockman 3 (Megaman 3) I keep stopping at the same jump. I guess it could be my fault but I just feel a little off. There would be a good selection of games, but at around $0.15 per game I'd still say it's worth what I paid. I wouldn't say mandatory.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring packaging
