The Hyperkin Supaboy broke a few months ago. The somewhat large portable claimed to play SNES cartridges on both the embedded LCD screen but also out through the A/V out. Clever, right? Well, good news. It works and is just as wonderful as it sounds.

Devin and I stopped by their E3 booth today and we got in on a little TMNT action. The device is large — think a thick Nomad — but the device sports a top-mounted SNES cartridge slot and a rechargeable battery around back. It’s pretty straight forward, really. No word on pricing, but it’s supposed to be out by the end of the year. (Just in time for your Christmas stocking!)
