Theres no denying it - the SNES was the best cartridge-based console EVER. Giving us some of the greatest games of all time, if you never owned a SNES then you never lived.

Come Summer 2011, not only will you once again be able to own a SNES, but a handheld one at that!

Image

North American owners will be able to pick up the SupaBoy - a portable SNES that you actually plug proper SNES carts into (both NA and JAP games are supported, no confirmation on EU carts yet), it also supports multiplayer, TV-out, and also has two front-facing ports to plug a SNES pad into, if you don't fancy holding it.

Currently no confirmation on how much it costs, but similar emulator-based handheld units go for around $60.00 so expect to pay around that mark.

That's all well and good, but they released a similar do over here, a Megadrive that you could play your old cartridged on. Thing is, they don't make them anymore, and some poeple don't have their old cartridges (although I gotta say, I still have my original World of Illusion, boxed and everything, spanking new condition).

That's genius is that PSP-looking device that played emulators. That also had a TV out.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THAT, WHY DID I NEVER BUY ONE???

...I'm Rick James, bitch!!!

I guess its like an iPad or the latest iPhone - only attractive or any use to idiots with more money than sense (but I'd buy one of these buggers...)

Well perhaps as a replacement to a broken SNES it sounds good. However, as a portable device, it seems awfully flawed when the games it uses are at least over 15 years old.

I need to buy another SNES.

Not sure what you guys see in this game. Couldn't get past about 15 minutes in. On top of that, the graphics look bad for NES.

But that handheld can't play NES games and my link brings back that old retro feeling.
