Hyperkin Releases SupaBoy Portable SNES Console

Earlier on Habré they already wrote about an interesting game console of the new generation from Nintendo, Wii U, which differs in a number of functions, design and other features from the game consoles we are used to. But there is a device that will appeal to those who are still nostalgic for the good old SNES. Hyperkin has created a hybrid portable SNES console that allows you to play good old games by inserting a good old cartridge into the familiar slot. Of course, there are differences from what it was before.

Firstly, the console body looks like a joystick with its own color display (3.5 inches diagonal). Secondly, you can play both with the help of hardware buttons on the console itself, and with the help of controllers connected to this console. In addition, the console itself, of course, can be connected to the TV.

At the E3 exhibition, a prototype was presented, fully functional, but still a prototype. Developers claim that over time a more functional device with an improved design will appear. Understandably, the Chinese have long since released universal devices with displays on which you can run thousands of games, ranging from 8-bit consoles to games from PS one. However, it is clear that SupaBoy is not for a wide audience, but only for geeks who would like to play by inserting a cartridge, connecting joysticks, and not just downloading the appropriate game ROM from the Web.

I don’t know, however, whether the geek would agree to pay $ 80 for this device (well, or 79.99) - that’s how much SupaBoy will cost when entering the market. This exit will take about six months, so who needs it, do not miss the moment.
