In this video, I’m diving into the Powkiddy A13 retro gaming console, sharing a hands-on experience with gameplay action. I’ll show you how it performs both as a handheld device and when connected to a big screen for family gaming fun.
what's up guys so while going through uh
AliExpress uh when I was trying to buy
some few things I came across this cool
looking retro Style with the joystick
gaming console it is a 10in gaming
console but brand name is p Kitty and
model number is a13 and U I'm actually
not a gamer personally myself I bought
it for my kids and it looked really cool
like the old style where you go to a
shop or arcade and you will use the
joystick and buttons play with it it
felt like that and I really liked it so
I ordered it wanted to check it out and
see if I can gift it to my kids so let's
check it out guys let's see how it works
and again this is the first time I am
opening it myself so if anything
anything is wrong you will find out
along with me I haven't tried it myself
and even haven't opened it myself
packing is really sophisticated as for
the price I mean uh these foam areas can
really protect it so let's bring it out
I did not like the external packaging
but I do like the internal one so let's
see
nice that's pretty much it only two
things came out of it this is a cable
let's see what kind of cable it is what
type of cable it
is along with some
documentation I hope it is Type C okay
this is Type C that's good I hate micro
USBs so this is Type C as you can see
and I can guess that it is 1 M and okay
quality cable now it's like braided or
something so USB type A to type c one M
cable you have some documentation here
and uh it is written in English and
Chinese so both are here but let's see
this one is the top side there you go
the gaming console this is its size like
guess with my hand like how much it is
and uh it is in red I only found it in
red I don't think it is available in
other colors so plastic is above
average quality doesn't feel cheap in
any way uh feels solid when you hold it
there is a weight to it you have some
rubber pads let me show you the ports
before I open it up if you can see it
the ports here we have the HDMI port
because it can output HD this is these
two ports USB ports are for controllers
you can attach controllers and play with
others and this is for headphone jack
because it has better speakers but you
can also attach the headphone jack this
is the G gaming card like TF card slot
you can buy it without the card but I
bought it with the card so that it has
some buil-in games in it in it this one
is a 64GB SD card already inserted here
and then you have the DC type-c input
this is the onof button so let's open it
up is it already on or am I dreaming
they have applied plastic papers all
over things to avoid scratches I think
they are saying that there is a cover
here on the screen as well which they
say please peel of this mask after
application completed but wise we have
few buttons here this one if let me
bring it closer so you have select start
I think this is back button or return
button this is volume control button and
I think these are speakers these are
function keys total six function keys
this is for the joystick which will be
here so let's bring out the joystick
they have moed the joystick portable so
that you can easily carry it so that
once you have car uh used it you can
actually put it here and carry it easily
by folding it and once you're ready to
use it just plug it in and you're good
to go see oh it is already on problem is
this is in Chinese can I go in any
English or something like that want to
change the language now this is my first
challeng find the language all right I
have figured out how to change the
language but first let me show you the
key map here so I use Google Translate
like the live image translation in which
you show something and it translates it
live I use it to find it so let me show
you how to do it in case you get stuck
with it too like me so go to this last
option and if you see uh with the Google
translate it should say set up something
like that so I I want to come to this
option like where this one you can go
with left and right since we need to
move right so let's move right now we
are on the set option now if we see
through our scan Live Scan let's see see
the first option is say says language
setting so let's select the again is for
select and you can see it says English
at the bottom let's select that one and
let's go back and everything is in back
in English if you go back you have files
all the files here settings scan
favorite games saved games then you have
these simulators like Game Boy
simulators it has bunch of simulators
for game and these are the games by the
way on the screen there is another
screen protector that I can see so it is
giving me like the option to select
plays just like in arcade games we used
to play I'm just keep insert
coin how do I enter
[Laughter]
coins speakers are quite good by the way
for the I mean for gaming console of
this style speakers are really good and
I getting the same Vibe as I used to
with the arcade games really cool now I
have to figure out how do I insert coins
iing the select button gives me credit
let me get some credits here this is are
like coins or something like that and
then let's start please know that I am
not a gamer I really played and I intend
to give this to my kids so if you're are
finding me stupid or something please be
gentle and go easy on me because I am
not a gamer myself I'm just trying to
enjoy it which one is
and I forgot the commands Okay this is
doing
something and I died immediately round
two ready
[Applause]
go
okay KO y winner
pleas round three ready go
[Music]
now I'm getting the hangle
just like arcade it shows the HP bar
heads the sounds and everything man it
is exactly like that can I exit
it I can actually save the state as well
you can see so let's see I just save the
state
and then just go back exit Okay so let's
see if it picked up the like the saved
State let me go if I go right now you
can see that there is one saved State
here this is the one that I was playing
so it's save the state this is the
maximum brightness that you can see
which is under like studio lights this
is without the studio lights there are
still room lights on but without the
studio lights and I think it's price
enough like if you're playing it uh for
the price the price
is more than enough actually this thing
is a 10in screen right here can output
its resolution is 1024x 600 HD can
output HD to TVs as well if you have
want to play it on big screens it has
build-in scpt speaker can support
maximum card of 64 G by a 4,000 M hour
battery so I was playing games it was
full now it has dropped one bar so maybe
it can last you around two hours or so
if you're continuously playing I'm not
sure only time will tell and it they say
that it's for fast charging it is Type C
based charging so I'm hoping it will 10
gaming simulators are already installed
here you can go inside them and select
their specific games uh how many games
are here let me show you there are
plenty I'm just going to say that and
because I it is not possible for me to
show you all the list it's long last
thing that I want to show is connecting
is with the TV so let's take it and
connect it to a TV and let's see how it
goes so here you can see that I have
connected it to my 55 in TCL TV and all
the menus are and everything you can see
that are clear it is outputting at 720p
so full HD output is going through this
TV usually its own resolution is 600p
but it is outputting to the TV at an HD
output which is even better so let me
load some game and let's see how it
plays out once it connects through the
HDMI if you can see it turns everything
off and in the TV you can see everything
volume and even it's battery controls so
let me give it a try the sound is coming
from the TV as well so if you buy a
wireless HDMI you can totally sit on
your sofa and try it out
Victory i1 55 in gaming arcade this is
really cool this was the P Kitty a13
model the gaming console like retro one
with a joystick and uh again I ordered
it for to AliExpress at the price of $89
or $84 at the time of making this video
and I think to be honest with the
hardware and everything you get is
$84 isn't a lot to ask along with the
64GB card filled with games that you ask
it is all the experience of of the old
style arcade games I over really enjoyed
it and if you are someone who is looking
for this arcade style experience or want
to give something to your kids I
wouldn't mind recommending it to you
guys so let me know what you guys think
take great care of yourself and bye
