Handheld SNES

[Demon_Skeith]

Third party gaming accessory manufacturer Hyperkin has just announced the upcoming SupaBoy, a handheld console that plays original SNES cartidges.

Due for a release this summer, the SupaBoy will currently only play US cartridges, with a UK PAL release yet to be confirmed. The handheld device is currently only a prototype, but we do know that it will come in at 318g, have a 3.5 inch LCD screen, and a claimed battery life of around five and a half hours.

As you can see from the prototype images, the SupaBoy has an A/V stereo output to plug into your TV, and capacity to plug two original SNES controllers to play on the bigger screen with.

The idea of playing SNES games is just awesome but the handheld itself doesn't look to great.

It's only 80 bucks too, I looked it up. I don't know if I would buy it but I would love it as a gift.

Well, I guess it's supposed to look "retro". But I agree it could look a little bit better, but not modern.

I wish they would have made it a little bit thinner.
