Hyperkin has announced the upcoming launch of the SupaBoy Handheld Video Game Console designed for SNES game cartridges. Equipped with a 3.5" screen, the SupaBoy is designed to look like one of the original SNES controllers and has a port built into the top that plays original 16-bit SNES cartridges.

The SupaBoy is designed to emulate an original SNES controller including a D-pad and buttons on the front as well as right and left shoulder buttons. Hyperkin has also included two front loading ports that are compatible with full-size SNES controllers and video/audio out, allowing up to two players to play the SupaBoy on a regular TV screen.

SupaBoy will be compatible with multiple SNES titles including: Super Mario RPG, Starfox, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

The SupaBoy measures 8.5 x 4 x 1.5 with 5.5 hours of battery life. It is expected to launch this summer for $79.99.
