Super Console X Max: Plug-and-Play Retro Gaming for under $100

With a starting price of $78, the Super Console X Max is a fairly beefy jump up from the original Super Console X line. But even at that price, is the experience worth the savings you can gain by simply doing it yourself?

This was a review unit sent to me by the manufacturer. All opinions are my own, they did not see this review ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.

You're such a cool dad and your kids definitely are proud of you

[RamzanJuman]

The thumbnail had me thinking Russ is reviewing a Roomba lol

[kaellito]

I'm from brazil and here the retro pirate scene is huge! We love it. We keep it alive.

[parrishharris]

Dude your awesome, i've had my super console x for months and you showed me alot i didn't know already - 👍✌.

[sebastiansanhueza]

LOL! Your movie quotes, Russ, are legendary.

Edit: to be fair, the real Seagal probably can't jump very well.

Very informative video as ever. Really enjoy watching and learning from you.

just discovered your channel and thank goodness i did. you break down stuff and show some tricks that other channels don't mention. i have a ras pi that i put retro pi on and went and downloaded a file from that retro punks site and it gave my pc cancer lol. also i couldn't play the set up on my 4k tv but works fine on my pc monitor. I'm gonna go the route of one of these all in one system since i just want to play some retro 80s and 90s games from my childhood and games i wanted to play like neo geo for instance but my parents didn't have the money to pay for a system like that at the time.

I have 5 pages of english homework but i just CAN'T lose any of your videos

[mohinderdesh]

thank you so much! this answered all my questions

[markuc]

Thanks a bunch! I was looking at this exact model...

[thesuperzfamilyvlog]

Sweet! Can’t wait to see how it compares!

[Junier-Hussein]

Great video this one looks decent hope they improve the system further.

[michaelweller]

That N64 running off the android tip was crucial!

[TopcatOGEE]

You videos are so detailed and informative.

[born-again-nerd]

I just ordered the cube one to review—it’s on its way - but I also have created my own tv box with better chip set (will be shown with tv box series/playlist) — but i do like the kin hank products - for the most part. I have console x (1st one), - console x stick pro and now cube on the way - —- Good video! :)

[starwarsmaster]

I know I’m not gonna buy one of these, but I still love watching the videos on them.

[matthewdavies]

I'll keep waiting for a much faster CPU. Good review.

[Naeidea]

I was torn between a TV console and a handheld... I just bought the RG351v after watching your video on it and have buyers remorse already after seeing this.

[CrazyBurger]

Great tip on N64! Playing on the android side seems much better! Cheers

when i saw the thumbnail i thought it was a robot vacuum cleaner
