Product Summary

Hyperkin's SupaBoy handheld takes full-size cartridges, packs a 3.5-inch screen and a battery that's disappointingly rated for just two point five hours and it toting round original SNES games without resorting to Ben Heck-style crafting. It'll also double as a home console: there's an AV-out port and slots for two classic controllers for when you wanna kick it old-school and it's reportedly compatible with titles like Mario World, A Link to the Past and Starfox. The two controller ports allow  for multi-player action as the handheld acts as a home console and it is available for $80 on Amazon.com.

Hyperkin has launched the highly anticipated SupaBoy Handheld Video Game Console on December 1st, 2011 in time for the holiday shopping season. Equipped with a 3.5-inch screen, the SupaBoy is designed to look like an original SNES controller with a top loading port that plays original 16-bit SNES and Super Famicom cartridges. The SupaBoy will play original SNES cartridges on a built-in 3.5-inch LCD screen and is designed to emulate an original SNES controller including a D-pad, face buttons, as well as right and left shoulder buttons. The SupaBoy also includes two front loading ports that are compatible with full-size SNES controllers and video/audio out, allowing up to two players to play the SupaBoy on a regular TV screen. "There is definitely a nostalgia factor for the SupaBoy for the older generation of gamers who grew up with the Super Nintendo," stated Leo Liang, Hyperkin's National Sales Director. "Yet, at the same time, it introduces and exposes the new generation of gamers to this beloved console. Not only is it compatible with original SNES and Super Famicom cartridges, you can also run it through your television, plug two controllers in, and play with another person. The SupaBoy is a very cool, very fun product, and is a perfect Christmas gift for anyone who loves video games." SupaBoy will be compatible with multiple SNES titles including: Super Mario World, Starfox, Donkey Kong Country, The Legend of Zelda A Link To The Past, Super Mario Kart, Chrono Trigger and others.
