Hyperkin Opens SupaBoy Preorders in New Crimson and Prime Designs

Hyperkin opens preorders for its portable cartridge-playing SupaBoy SNES system in Crimson and Prime styles at $129.99, releasing October 28.

Hyperkin's cartridge-playing SupaBoy portable SNES system is returning in two new designs aimed squarely at collectors with original Super Nintendo libraries. The Crimson model uses a deep red shell with dark controls, while the Prime edition adopts a translucent grey appearance complemented by buttons inspired by Nintendo's classic colour scheme. Preorders are now open at $129.99 in the United States, €129.99 in Europe and £119.99 in the United Kingdom, with a release scheduled for October 28. The hardware continues the established SupaBoy concept rather than replacing physical cartridges with downloadable ROMs. It accepts original SNES and Super Famicom games across PAL, NTSC and Japanese formats, while its built-in controls and 4.3-inch IPS screen turn those cartridges into a genuinely portable setup. Two front controller ports allow original-style SNES pads to be connected, and AV output lets the system function more like a traditional console when attached to a television. The screen can switch between 4:3 and 16:9 presentation. For collectors who want to keep using their physical 16-bit library without taking original ageing console hardware on the road, the refreshed SupaBoy remains an unusual alternative to the increasingly crowded emulation-handheld market.
