- Is this an ad?
- What's the LCD's resolution?
- Is the LCD TN or IPS?
- Does it have HDMI out?
- Does it run Android?
- Which processor does it have? How much RAM?
- It's too expensive

I rather Super Famicom/Super NES (Europe version) over America version. It is so... Purple! LOL!

EDIT: They should include bluetooth for controllers.

This, or a N3DS for $99 on black Friday. Hmmmmmmm..... Interesting these companies are still making stuff like this, but I can't really see the point in it all anymore with the plethora of other ways to play these games on your TV now.

Played SNES games on the go with my PSP years ago.

A 3DS is more worth it in my opinion.

It's a shame the TV out on this is only composite. If it had HDMI output this would be the perfect device to butcher and put inside my modded SNES case which currently houses a RPi and a Retrode.

Which processor does it have? How much RAM?

It will run the native 30FPS for all games. Beyond that, what do you care?

It's too expensive

Agreed.

It's a press release, no idea about the other questions.
Releases Decemeber.

Is that a serious question? If people buy hardware, especially with this pricetag, obviously they want to know the specs. Also it doesn't say anywhere how much fps it will run games at, so it could run key games like crap.

Though I now emulate and am in love with my Pi's, I still have to admire little products like these. I probably won't buy one my self, but it is cool, especially for cart collectors!

 

[Clydefrosch]

start and select on the left?
no buy.

also, personally, I don't like these copy paste press-release jobs. i mean, you might as well just post the picture and link to the website.

 

[froggestspirit]

Does it even play SFX chip games? Eh, what do I care, I have more devices than I can count that can play SNES. (now... if it were N64....)

Would of been cool if you could pirate

 

[Mikemk]

Would of been cool if you could pirate

Well, you can. For only $200 more. With a flashcart.

 

[CeeDee]

If only these had SD slots... and more system compatibility.

 

[hobbledehoy899]

If only these had SD slots...

Flashcarts exist, you know...

and more system compatibility.

This is a hardware clone of the SNES and the original SNES never had compatibility with the NES, you dip.

Oh, I thought this would just be a SNES emulator in a box.

 

[WiiUBricker]

I just read on another site that this reads cartridges, holy shit. I thought that this thing just runs an emulator.

It might. It could read the data from the cartridge to be fed to the emulator.
