**Bit Boy Pocket Go Review: An In-Depth Look**
The Bit Boy Pocket Go is a handheld console that has generated a lot of buzz in the gaming community. With its unique design and promise of improved performance over its predecessor, we put it to the test to see if it lives up to the hype.
In our hands-on experience with the Bit Boy Pocket Go, we were pleased to find that the charge table had been upgraded from a standard microUSB port to a more premium card reader. The new card reader felt like a better product than its predecessor, and we appreciated the attention to detail in this aspect of the console's design.
One of the coolest features of the Bit Boy Pocket Go is the colored buttons, which are designed to resemble those found on classic Famicom consoles. We were excited to see that these buttons could be swapped out with ones from our own collection, adding a fun touch of nostalgia to the device.
The console came with an 8GB memory card, which we were thrilled to find was included in the box as promised. The Bit Boy Pocket Go also features a battery that is plugged directly into the inside of the device, making it relatively easy to replace when needed.
In terms of design and build quality, the Bit Boy Pocket Go feels solid and well-constructed. We particularly appreciated the wide footprint of the console, which made it easier to hold for us as well as our daughter, who loved the device's compact size.
While we were able to power up the console and see that the screen was indeed brighter than its predecessor, we weren't entirely convinced by the quality of the display. However, this aspect is largely subjective, and we're willing to give the Bit Boy Pocket Go the benefit of the doubt in this regard.
The real test of the Bit Boy Pocket Go comes when you consider its features and design choices. Does it offer any significant improvements over its predecessor? In terms of comfort and ergonomics, we found that this console was a major improvement over the previous model. The addition of shoulder buttons and the repositioning of the D-pad to the bottom menu were clever touches that made the device feel more intuitive and comfortable to use.
The Bit Boy Pocket Go also features an actual volume control on the side, which is a nice touch that sets it apart from its predecessor. We're not entirely sure if this feature was intended as a major selling point, but we appreciate the attention to detail in this regard.
Overall, our experience with the Bit Boy Pocket Go has been overwhelmingly positive. While there may be some minor quibbles about the quality of the display or the software, we believe that this console offers a significant improvement over its predecessor in terms of design and build quality. We're eager to see how it compares to other handheld consoles on the market, including the V3.
**Is the Bit Boy Pocket Go Worth It?**
For those who value comfort and ergonomics above all else, the Bit Boy Pocket Go is definitely worth considering. Its wide footprint and repositioned D-pad make it a joy to hold and use for extended periods of time. The addition of shoulder buttons and the actual volume control also set it apart from other handheld consoles.
However, for those who prioritize raw gaming power or are invested in a particular ecosystem (e.g., retro game enthusiasts), we're not entirely sure if the Bit Boy Pocket Go offers enough to justify its price point.
**Comparison to Other Handheld Consoles**
We'll be comparing the Bit Boy Pocket Go to other handheld consoles on the market, including the V3, to see which one comes out on top. Stay tuned for our full review and comparison of these devices to determine which one is worth your hard-earned cash.
WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome back guys to a long awaited video I finally get to unbox the new bit boy pocket go twenty-two days late story behind this I ordered it on the 12th of last month or sorry it was shipped on the 12th of last month I ordered it for that when you guys had asked me to do an open box in a review video so my tracking number was the worst tracking number in the world finally it arrived today other than the fact that this thing is twenty-two days late it is here so let's unbox it and check it out the tracking number for this thing was horrendous basically what happened was it gave me my tracking number but it was like 210 other people's tracking numbers so every time I get tracked my item it tracked the other nine and my it just said that mine was linked to ten other tracking numbers I couldn't track it so finally it arrived today let's unbox it and see what we have let's compare it physically to the bit boy in v3 like the last time round box with the book and again nothing seals on the box which is cool because then you're not wrecking your box in any way to air form and if I compare now so the bit boy would be three box the pocket go box darker blue kind of blue grey but kind of cool kind of the same theme going on so that's kind of neat I love this plastic they put on them with the picture of the thing outlined same thing with the ev3 which I thought was really cool so we'll say system destructions that's all this okay so in the box we have the charge table which is still a microUSB one cool thing it looks like they upgraded or change the quality of the card reader definitely feels like a better product than the prior ones the other ones were loose then there was all kinds of weirdness with it it still worked but it was just not very good quality now the other cool thing they did they sent these colored buttons so we want to change the buttons that are on your system from the you know standard whatever it is to the Famicom colours then you can feel free to do so now that was supposed to be a pre-order thing so I don't know we'll have to see if they continue it but as we know it was supposed to be you pre-ordered you got
