Hyperkin's Supaboy - SNES Handheld
« on: October 08, 2011, 01:03:53 PM »
For all of those retro gamers we have here on Acid Mods this is a new console that may perk your interest. The SupaBoy from Hyperkin features a shape like that of the Super NES controller. The handheld console will play your favorite SNES cartridges such as Starfox, Super Mario PRG, Zelda, and Donkey Kong just to name a few.


The handheld will be compatible with the super scope for the SNES, the Mario Paint Mouse as well as the super multitap. It features a locking feature so cartridges don’t bump loose while playing games. Two ports in the front of the device allow for two wired controllers thus two friends to play with you. You and two friends will be able to hook the device up to a regular television with RCA jacks and relive your childhoods. Or is you don't want to share your new toy, you can play alone on the three and a half inch LCD screen built into the device.



You won’t need to worry about fumbling with double A’s with the SupaBoy. It runs off of a rechargeable battery and will give you around five and a half hours of play off a single charge.

The handheld device features all the amenities of any good handheld, including stereo sound, a headphone jack, and adjustable volume control.
At this time, it isn’t known if Hyperkin intends to release a PAL version of this product, so it may or may not be a US-only gaming device.
The SupaBoy will cost $79.99 USD and was slated to be released sometime during the summer of 2011. However, all pre-order sites I have found show a shipment date of November 15th, 2011.

Is the Supaboy a console you would by for nostalgia? Or is it a must have gaming device for your collection?
