It's about some kind of creature that were killing animals in the farms and sucking their blood. This is the reason for the name "Chupacabra", that means something like "Goat-sucker".

Evelin is right, it’s a JungleTac VT.

It’s an expanded architecture based on and compatible with the NES but with much better sound and more oomph (yet still less powerful than an SNES)

@@cecilectomy it matters if you are trying to explain how things are pronounced in another language, and I'm baffled you disregard it completely. Anyway I never ever heard people pronounce those two things the same, perhaps sometimes it can sound quite alike, but it has a clear difference.

I wonder if the screen ripples because it’s actually a 16x9 screen with bezels that make it look 4x3, so the screen actually extends right to the edges of the d-pad and action buttons, occasionally getting pressed under the d-pad. That’d also explain the vertical layout of the action buttons.

The Frozen one kind of makes me think of a possible reason why less girls get into video games than boys. Imagine you're 3 years old, and you get that as a gift. But the boy gets the one from Cars. Look at the difference between those 2! It's not that girls are less inclined to gaming, but they are given a bad first impression, and then society pressures them not to enjoy the hobby.

Honestly the Leap Frog one looks pretty cool for a Baby's First Console. I could see myself buying it for my nephew if it still exists in 2-3 years...

I'm here for the EPIC chupacabra pronunciation!!! That was great!!!

Road Fighter is an actual NES game by Konami, so it certainly is a famiclone and all the games are some hacks.

Chupacabra, CHU-PA-CA-BRA as in Devil Dog, and in CARS/PLANES universe, is a legendary tale from Mater!

The last one is such a cool idea

Disney's Planes was a Disney Animation Studios spin-off of Pixar's Cars with the main character Dusty Cropduster being voiced by the comedian/actor Dane Cook. Even though Pixar is owned by Disney, Planes had nothing to do with the Pixar division.

Dude I love your videos thanks for another amazing video Elliot.

I'm so glad you stuck Dusty on your face at the end

The game at 9:12 is a reskin of a game called Quarth, which was a game for the original Game Boy. It's like an alternative to Tetris. You shoot pieces at the falling shapes to fill them into complete rectangles to make them disappear. How do I know this? I buy and resell Nintendo handhelds on EBay, and luckily Quarth came with one of the first ones I got. It was lucky because it's the only game I can use to test the DMG's and GB Pockets.

Gotta love the music quality on the 8-in-1. x3

The Spring Bros one is a reskin of a classic Mario Game&Watch Gallery game (not an actual game&watch game) called Fire.

Leap Frog has been in the educational toy game here in the US for quite a while now. There are a well known brand

I would’ve love to have something like that 2nd one as a kid

The bird game on DSiWare you're thinking of is called Bird & Beans, and the bird character's name is Pyoro.

That game at 9:12 was actually a multiplayer gameboy game called "quarth" once you get the hang of it, it's a blast!

I forget that people outside of North America don't all know the legend of "El Chupacabra".

Nice! The 8 in 1 really reminded me of the Pocket Arcade kit from TinyCircuits, that might interest you.

5:40 I had to double check, that background is rip straight from Super Mario World

The machine itself for the 8-in-1 handheld was quite good though. I wonder if it might be possible to get an emulator of that thing, probably put some NES, and Master System games on it.

Ball Bladder is where it's at! I live in New Mexico, USA and the chupacabra is a real thing

Road Fighter is an actual licenced NES game

Another really good one is the My arcade portable games. The one I have has the paper plane , bounce bros and the bird game and more, totally would recommend.

Id actualy want that Lexibook for my little sister tbh,looks pretty good

Spring Bros is Game & Watch "Fire"!!! It looks closer to the version from Game & Watch Gallery, which is why you probably recognized it almost immediately.

Speaking of that last one having a bunch of weird buttons back in the day I'm talking when video games were very very very new a company called Atari came out with a video game system and it had two controllers that you could use with it that were the standard 2 one looked like in arcade joystick with one button next to it but the other one was really weird it looked like a volume knob from a music player and you could control the game that way they were referred to in instruction manuals as paddle controllers it's been like 20 or 30 years since that system came out and yet I've never seen another system to do such a thing just imagine the video games that you could create with the power of say an Xbox series X but with a different controller than the standard one
