Supaboy portable SNES commercial handheld

Post by minkster » Sun May 08, 2011 6:21 am

Hey guys, I just stumbled upon this really awesome portable Super Nintendo called the "Supaboy". Apparently its going to be shipped this summer commercially for around $79.99. It's by a company called Hyperkin.

I am so tempted to get one. It comes with a 3.5 inch LCD screen and the battery life is around 5 hours. Have you guys heard of this before? I'm actually impressed with the pricing on this thing, it seems very reasonable, and it looks epicly awesome.

Better design than the fc16 go. It also plays Super Famicom games without modification, but given the nature of this site that is really a non-issue for us; considering all you have to do is cut off plastic tabs.

nonsense! think of it as an 80$ parts donor, modify and recase it in a new and interesting way and sell it for a profit. :mrgreen:
