Powkiddy X18 - The New Nintendo 3DS XL that I Had Always Wanted!

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yes, I'm still going to talk about Powkiddy X18. It's because I'm still messing around with it. Well, yesterday night, I took out my retro ROMs MicroSD card from my Android tablet and put it into my X18. I forget how big the storage was until I realized it contains all my ROMs, music, pictures, etc.

Since I seldom use my tablet anymore, might as well used it on my X18. Anyway, retro gaming or any kind of gaming is much more fun with a physical controller. And, the X18 comes integrated with one. With a couple of thousands of retro games available, this is becoming my ultimate retro gaming system.

• CPU: MTK 8163, quad-core A53 64-bit processor 1.3GHz. Memory: 2GDDR3+16GB EMMC. Battery: 5000 mAh.

The funny thing is that the form factor design is obviously copied from the Nintendo 3DS. I make a quick physical comparison on my unboxing video. You can watch it here. I wish they copied everything though. Like a second screen, a stylus pen, and the camera.

Back in the day, I wish they'll improve on the NN3DS XL. Especially, the graphics. I remember watching youtube on it but now you can't. I still have it so, not being able to watch youtube kinda sucks. I can't quite remember if you can browse the Internet or do social media back then.



New Nintendo 2DS XL - Black + Turquoise With Mario Kart 7 Pre-installed - Nintendo 2DS

Now, I have the Nintendo Switch lite but as much as I love it, I'll always feel something missing. Yes, that's the part the Powkiddy X18 or the GPD XD Plus can fill it up. The difference with the X18 is that it uses Android O.S. which is like a lighter version of Microsoft Windows.

I don't really game all the time. I check my emails, read up on news, do research on Google, messaging, voice messages, video call my family and friends with Whatsapp, watch youtube, listen to music and social media. You know, the everyday thingy.

Yes, I know. I already do all that on my Samsung Note 10+. In fact, I even have my Blackberry used as my second phone. Now, I consider the Powkiddy X18 as my main device to do all that. I even use it occasionally to Whatsapp my family and close friend.  

That's why I wish the X18 has a camera like mine 3ds xl. I would have used it for video calls. Imagine, if the X18 also has a second screen, you can use it for a touchscreen keyboard or touchpad. That big empty space in between the controller is such a waste of space.

If you want something light and portable for entertainment and social media, you don't need Microsoft Windows software. I used to hate the early version of Android, now, you can do everything as if you're using a Windows PC. The best part that the mobile phone and a laptop don't have is the integrated controller.

The integrated controller is what makes the difference. That's why I love gaming on my Nintendo Switch and NN3DS XL. Even if you don't like the integrated controller you can buy an external controller. But, the important thing is that there's an integrated one for on-the-go gaming!

The Powdiddy X18 and the GPD XD Plus though also lets you use it as a mini laptop. It's what I had always wanted to do on my NN3DS XL years ago. And, even on my Switch lite now. But, if they put a second touchscreen/touchpad and a camera for video-calling, it'll be 90% perfect!

What Do I Want in Future New Nintendo Switch lite?

Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love my Zacian and Zamazenta Nintendo Switch lite special edition. Love the cool pokemon pencil-like design at the back and the colored controller buttons and analog sticks on the front. Although, a little added design at the front would be nice.

I'm wondering why there's no other special edition coming out. Like maybe, a Mario design Nintendo Switch lite. How about Zelda or other popular game versions. The latest info is that 53 million Nintendo switch/lite have been sold worldwide. A special version might add more numbers to that.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

The other day, when I post a picture of my switch lite on my Whatsapp group, an ex-colleague told me, his children been begging him to buy one for them. I have also been getting questions about the switch from my youtube channel comments section. Signs of the switch lite getting more popular?

The switch lite is already a great portable gaming console. But, what do I want in future iterations of the switch lite? Well, for one thing, I'll like to be able to dock it to the Tv. Yes, you can already do that with the Nintendo Switch, but I want the switch lite to have that capability too.



Nintendo New 3DS XL Solgaleo Lunala Black Edition

I'm not sure if I want a camera on my switch lite. I don't even use it on my 3DS XL. But, I do use the ability to take in-game screen pictures and videos. I wish, I could take longer videos though. Right now, it's just 30 secs and I'm not even sure how it works. I keep getting only a few secs of vids. Also, you can actually trim it before posting. Cool!

You can then share it on Twitter and Facebook. For now, you can't share on Youtube or Twitch. It would be nice to actually able to go to twitter and Facebook from my switch with a real app or browser. I wonder if ever we'll have apps available for the Nintendo Switch. Still waiting for Netflix, Spotify, VLC, Whatsapp, and other cool apps. C'mon it's 2020!



Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

One thing for sure, if Nintendo wants the eShop to explode, they'll need to be smart like Apple or Google store. Selling ebooks, movies, apps, podcasts, and music. Make the Nintendo switch the best portable entertainment system on the planet!

Actually, I've been asking for this since I got my Nintendo Switch almost 3 years ago. We still don't have a way to watch movies or listen to music offline. Yes, you can already do that with the Youtube app. There are actually some good channels I followed that I can watch movies and listen to music. But what if you're outside without wifi or when you want to save data?



8Bitdo Zero 2 Bluetooth Gamepad（Turquoise Edition） - Nintendo Switch

If you're willing to hack your system, you can install Linux, android, and even windows on it. Then you can do all that. But, I'm not interested in the possibility of bricking my switch. Unless, I'm getting one for free. I'll love just to try it out.

Let me see, what other extra features or ability do I want for the switch lite? An upgrade of the CPU and GPU might be a possibility with portable technology getting better. A 5G version? A longer battery life? A 6-6.5 inch touchscreen? I actually like the brightness and sharpness of the 5.5-inch screen. Seems a little better than the original 7-inch switch.



Grip for Nintendo Switch Lite, OIVO Comfortable & Ergonomic Asymmetrical Hand Grip with Upgraded Adjustable Stand and 4 Game Slots for Nintendo Switch Lite- Thump Caps Included (Lite Rider)

One important thing that Nintendo really needs to do is redesign the switch lite or Nintendo Switch control to be a little more ergonomic. Especially with a better grip. My hands will cramp when playing some intense game and it actually hurts my fingers and wrist.

I guess that's about all, for now, what I want in the future Nintendo Switch lite. To be clear, I already love the switch lite as it is. The Nintendo eShop can be easily improved as it's not anything physical. They might have to work it out with other entertainment companies.

I'm guessing Nintendo is not thinking of upgrading their system right now because if it's not broken why fix it? Although, sleeping on the job might cause you...err..your job. So, as a company, they should keep updating and improving the switch.

Not that they need my advice. They literally jump from the 3ds or Wii to the Nintendo Switch. A smart gamble that actually reaps success. And, most people, including me didn't even think much of it at first. Somebody, needs a raise over there. If they haven't got it!

Nintendo Switch lite Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition video promo

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch

Hey guys,

Check it out!

A couple years back in 2015, I got myself the Xenoblade Chronicles 3D for my Nintendo 3ds xl and post about it here. It was an awesome console-level game for a small portable form factor of the 3ds xl. I also actually got the Nintendo Switch version of the Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

You can check out my post on Xenoblade Chronicles 2 here. It's also an awesome game that you can play on handheld mode or docked to the Tv. That's why I like the Nintendo Switch so much. You can play your favorite game on the go and also when you want to play it on your big screen Tv.

Way cool!



Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch

• Whether you're a seasoned Monado wielder or brand new to the world of the Bionis, the updates and additions in this already-epic adventure make it even easier to dive into the story, combat, and environments that the Xenoblade Chronicles series is known
• Get immersed in the emotional story with updated graphics, listen to over 90 remixed or remastered music tracks, and track quests more easily with the additions and improvements in this definitive edition.
• Get immersed in the emotional story with updated graphics, listen to over 90 remixed or remastered music tracks, and track quests more easily with the additions and improvements in this definitive edition.

I also like the special edition set but for now, there's no info on its availability. You can always come back to this post to check it out later.



Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Works Set - Nintendo Switch

I'll love to play the game on my Switch lite. Too bad, I won't be able to play on a big screen Tv. But still, it'll be fun to be able to play the game on the go. I've had the switch lite for a week or two and I must say, I'm loving the portability of it.

The switch lite is obviously way lighter and portable. It suits mostly those that like to play as a single player. That's why I sold mine to my sis children. As a family, they like to play games together. The switch lite turns out to be more personal to me then the original switch is.

Anyway, don't forget to check out the video promo of Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition and support us by shopping via the Amazon links. Tq in advance!

Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian & Zamazenta Edition unboxing and Asphalt 9 Legends gameplay

Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Got my Nintendo Switch Lite Zacian & Zamamenta Edition. I really love it. I love the pencil-like drawings of the pokemon at the back. Although, I wish there was some kind of design in the front too. At least the buttons, joysticks, and d-pad have nice cool colors.

I'm also surprised at how light the switch lite is. If you take away the controllers, it'll be like any other 5.5-inch mobile phone out there. Only, a little bit thicker. I've been re-downloading some of the games I've bought on eShop and it took almost 2 days. I had to delete some as I'm running out of storage space. I need to buy a bigger MicroSD card.



Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

I've been testing out the system playing some games like Asphalt 9 Legends, Gear.club, Daemon X Machina prototype, FX3 pinball, and retro game. Right now, the game that I bought yesterday on a deal, Metro 2033 Redux has just finish download. I want to see how good it plays on a system like a Switch lite. I'll be doing video gameplay later on. So, don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel!

There are many other games that I've bought for my first-gen Nintendo Switch that I'm wondering how it'll play on the switch lite. One thing I'll miss is the ability to dock my switch and play on my big screen TV. I won't be able to watch youtube videos or movies on it too. Also, you can't take off the switch or change it. Especially, if it's faulty.



Metro Redux - Nintendo Switch

There are advantages and some disadvantages to the Switch Lite. My niece told me, it looks just like the PSP Vita slim. Well almost. I think it's a little longer. On the PSP vita, you can actually control games via the touchpad at the back. It's pretty much more advance than the switch lite. People are still wondering, why the Vita never took off. Now, it's just hackers heaven.

Well, maybe because Nintendo has its own base that like the kind of games Nintendo been putting out. It's kinda funny though, I've never really been a Nintendo fan. The only console that I have bought is the 3DS XL, Nintendo Switch and now the Switch lite.

One thing I'm glad is that Nintendo has been listening to their fan base and now opening up their system to indies and triple AAA game developers bringing albeit 'old' popular games like Bioshock, Doom, Skyrim, Witcher 3 and Fifa 18 which was one of the reasons I decided to get the Nintendo Switch. Being able to play pc/console games on the go!

Now, there are more and more triple AAA games coming over to the Nintendo Switch. How things have changed. Back then, nobody thought the switch would be this popular. Some even write it off. They thought to be able to play on handheld mode and Tv mode was just a stupid gimmick. Who's laughing now?

Anyway, guys. You can check out my earlier post on my thoughts about the Nintendo switch by searching through my blog post. You'll be surprised about the things that I've been wishing back then coming out true. I also rant about the mobile gaming world how the games mostly suck and too dependent on free-to-play and auto-play craps.

HORI Nintendo Switch Split Pad Pro (Daemon X Machina Edition) Ergonomic Controller for Handheld Mode - Officially Licensed By Nintendo - Nintendo Switch

(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My nephew and I loved the Nintendo Switch. Would you believe we never owned or played any Nintendo console or games before the Switch? Okay, I have the 3DS XL. But my nephews weren't interested. They're more into the SONY PSP.

When I first saw the Nintendo Switch trailer, I thought, 'Okay, that looks interesting.' When my nephew saw that FIFA18 was going to be available for the Switch, he started bugging me to buy it. I was also excited because Skyrim is going to be available for it.

I finally bought the Switch and both of the games when they came out. My nephew still plays FIFA today, and he admitted it feels good playing on the Switch. He even prefers playing it in handheld mode rather than docking it to the TV.

Anyway, I've been thinking of getting a new controller for my Switch, and that's when I saw the Hori Nintendo Switch split pad pro. I'm also getting the Daemon X Machina game. Get it via the links below if you're interested too!

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

Like I've said before, the Nintendo Switch is the best portable gaming console. Although several demo versions of PC games with the same form factor exist. I wish there were a more advanced, updated version of the Switch.

To think that everyone from the Pokémon CEO to the other game developers didn't think the Switch would be successful. Frankly, I didn't think much of it either. Until you start playing games on it. I gave feedback to Nintendo to open up their system to other PC or game developers.

The good thing is they listened, and now, we're able to play more popular games on it!

Samsung Note 10+ Angry Birds AR Isle of Pigs Augmented Reality gameplay

Click here to get the latest Samsung Note 10+!

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I thought I'll try playing the Angry Birds AR (Augmented Reality) Isle of Pigs today on my Samsung Note 10+. And, it's a load of fun. I like the fact that you can use your own real background. I've tried other AR games but this is the only game that I like.

There are a few games that I've downloaded but have yet to try it out. So, who knows. I remember playing an AR game on my Nintendo 3DS XL. It was really interesting back then. Fast forward a couple of years later today and you can play it on your phone.

Mobile phone tech has really grown. Samsung has already announced its new S20 series phone. With better processor and graphics. Improved camera capabilities with 100X zoom and 108MP. I really like to see if you can use it for moon watching. Imagine, being able to view and record the moon with just your phone!

I've been waiting for that part of camera technology to grow. I don't think, I'll be able to afford the phone though. In any case, I still love my Note 10+ and am waiting eagerly for maybe a Note 20+ before the end of the year?

Imagine the kind of specs, it'll be getting. I'm not sure if the average user would even care. But, I do. Better camera means better video for my youtube channel. One thing, I hate it that the video editing app really sucks. I tried using the free editing software and it's too simple.

In the end, I just plug the phone to my pc, transfer the file and use Microsoft old free Windows Moviemaker. I wanted to try out the new windows video editor but I don't know how to use the cutting part. I'll rather use something that I'm comfortable with.

Anyway, check out the video gameplay and download the game on Google play!

HP V8H07UT Elite X3 Lap Dock

I wonder why Samsung still doesn't want to create a laptop dock for the Samsung phone. I know now, you can use Samsung dex on your pc or laptop. But, that is, if you have them. What if you're just interested in using your phone as your main device?

All your contacts, pictures, entertainment are on it. You're practically using it for work and play. Instead of having to use a separate (windows) workstation why not just simplify and use one system? Having a lap dock would definitely make your load lighter too.

Using your phone as your main computer might not be for everyone but in the age of making things small, lighter and fast this could be the future. That's why the latest Samsung S20 5G phone could be the start of modern mobile computing.

Watch Sony's new PS5 announcement from CES 2020

PlayStation 4 Console - 1TB Slim Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Who else excited about the upcoming PS5? As the video stated, it'll be coming out this holiday. I'm not sure which holidays, but presumably by the end of this year. I know one thing people are more excited about, the back-compatibility!

My first ever console was the ps1. The modified version. Back then, I would buy 3-4 games for $10 bucks! It finally died on me and then I got myself the Xbox 360. Which gave me the RROD. So, I bought the PS3 which later on also gave me the ROD. I didn't play any console games until I decided to get the GOW4 Limited edition. I'm still loving and working till today!

Part of the reason I decided to get the Xbox one s was because of the back-compatibility. I was actually selling off my PS3 and Xbox 360 games. Lucky for me, I only managed to sell a few. One kid even complained that my GOW disc wasn't working. I told him, his Xbox is the problem but he didn't believe me. So, I took it back and return his money. Stupid kid.

Since I've bought the back-compatibility Xbox one s, I was able to play all my old 360 games. But, I'm still hoping that I would one day be able to play my old PS3 games on the latest PlayStation. When they announced that the PS5 might have back-compatibility, I'm sold!

Information is pretty limited, for now. People are talking about the new design and more powerful graphics when all I care about and maybe you too about the back compatibility. I can't wait to play my old games on it. The graphics might even be better.

I've even prepared an empty space for my new PS5 beside my Xbox, Nintendo Switch and Raspberry pi 3 for retro gaming. I'm pretty pumped up for the new exclusive games for the PS5 that's coming up too. I haven't really check them out, it's still a long year yet. Well, time to save up!

Check out the other games console available to bide the time!

There are so many game consoles, even the portable one is pretty fun to play. There are hundreds if not thousands of games to download or cartridges to buy. I still take out my 'old' Nintendo 3ds XL or PSP Vita to play. It's not as if I've finished playing all the games.

I also have a DS lite that I use to play retro games. I didn't actually buy it. An old lady wanted to throw some stuff away and called for our help. I thought I saw a ds and it was. There were also some games with it. I told my bud that I want it. So, I bring it home and was surprised it was still in good condition. Maybe, her children didn't want it anymore. Lucky me!

You can check out some Ds lite video gameplay on my youtube channel.
