Handheld SNES
Video Game Accessory maker and wholesaler HyperKin is creating a hand held system that plays SNES cartridges. On top of that, it features two ports for the use of real Super Nintendo controllers, a huge plus for the old school gaming fanatic. The device is known as the SupaBoy and is due for a release soon. The console features:
+ Plays all American SNES cartridges, not PAL or Japanese
+ Weighs 318g
+ 3.5 inch LCD screen
+ A/V sterio output to hook up to a television
+ Two Super Nintendo controller ports on the device to play with friends
Hyperkin is the same company that made my personally favorite possession, the Retron3, a hybrid system that plays regular NES, SNES and Sega Genesis games. I bought mine through Amazon.
SNES on iPad
SNES (HD) is my iPad port of the popular Super Nintendo emulator Snes9x. Though based on ZodTTD’s iPhone port snes4iphone, Yusef Napora has rewritten most of the iPhone specific code to work within the iPad environment.
You’ll need a jailbroken iPad and iPhone to play, which I don’t have, so I can only imagine how great it is to have an SNES have the size of all those textbooks I never read.
