KinHank Super Console X3 Pro: Retro console only costs $108 and can emulate over 60,000 games

We have frequently reported on relatively inexpensive gaming handhelds that come with comparatively low performance compared to current gaming PCs or even smartphones, and which are designed to emulate older retro games. These handhelds often ship with thousands of games preloaded, even though this approach is highly questionable from a copyright perspective. The KinHank Super Console X3 Pro follows a similar concept but is a stationary retro console that is intended to be hooked up to a television.

In terms of potential copyright infringements, the manufacturer probably hits a new level, as the 500GB storage supposedly contains over 60,000 games right out of the box. For instance, the console can apparently emulate games for various Nintendo Game Boy generations, which will probably run well. That said, playing games that have been developed for newer platforms may cause some performance issues.

The KinHank Super Console X3 Pro is powered by the Amlogic S905X3 with four Cortex-A55 cores and 4GB RAM. This affordable gaming system can run on EmuELEC or on Android 9 as its operating system, which means that this little box can also be used as a media player for older TVs that don’t have access to smart features or an app store.

Wireless networks can be accessed via WiFi 6, and connecting accessories ist possible via Bluetooth 5.0, two USB 3.0 or one USB 2.0 port. An optical audio output for connecting a soundbar is also available, as are HDMI, an AV port as well as Ethernet for wired network connections. The retro console 5.63 x 3.54 x 1.30 inches and can be ordered via import from Aliexpress for $108 excluding shipping or import fees. Lastly, prospective buyers should be aware of the basically non-existent warranty and customer support.
