Oh dang, I didn't even realize there was a thing after the 3.

And GameBoy Advance titles? I'LL TAKE TWENTY.

TheSoundDefense4088d ago

Hyperkin hasn't announced it yet, is why. And yea, GBA titles are pretty awesome.

Sidology4087d ago

OFFICIALLY, but I should've gotten a press release about it. Mailing lists and all, I guess, but idk.

TheSoundDefense4087d ago

I don't believe any press release has gone out about it at all. That's why we marked it as an exclusive, because nobody else has those details. Hyperkin was gracious enough to allow us to see them ahead of time.

NintendoGal4087d ago

This is correct. Hyperkin decided to give me the details before they put out their official press release tomorrow.

Aka hyperkin has remade the Sega nomad.
Hyperkin does what Sega don't

I'd have to wait to see performance, because if this is just another rom dump-to-emulation type Hyperkin device then hard pass. The quality of their products are severely hit-or-miss.

Also, unsure why they picked a 16:9 screen yet again when every game plays in 4:3. There are plenty of emu-handhelds that have quality screens in the original aspect ratio.

Profchaos122d ago

So I've got clarification on the screen it'll go between 4:3 and 16:9 with a toggle but yeah I get what you mean it does look like a 16:9 screen.

Also doesn't appear to be a emulation device runs native carts. But also I guess you could just load up a everdrive and play anything on it.

Hyperkin Announce the Cortana Edition and 20th Anniversary Duke Controllers

Neil writes: "Created in collaboration with Xbox and 343 Industries, the team at Hyperkin has announced that they'll be releasing some rather tasty Limited and Special Edition Duke controllers, with the Cortana Limited Edition being the utter highlight - and you don't need us to tell you that it is an absolute purple beast."

Very cool. I have the green duke they made and will gladly pick up these.

Magog962d ago

I forgot how awkwardly placed all those buttons were.

Vits962d ago

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.

VenomUK962d ago (Edited 962d ago )

@Vits For me, no way! When playing Halo at a friend's the Duke was always unwieldily big. I didn't buy my original Xbox at launch I bought it when it had the refined smaller controllers, and they were great. It's funny to think how the designed was refined and then went next level with the 360 controller.

Vits962d ago

Totally fair.
I know very few that share my like for this controller. And the 360 is still one of my go to controllers for a lot of PC games. It's a shame that finding an original one in good condition is so difficult these days.

darthv72961d ago

I enjoyed the duke as well, then again I have large hands. When the S controller came out, it didnt take much to get used to it (except the placement of the b/w buttons) but Id say 360 was their magnum opus.

medman962d ago

I really like the design....well done.

Hyperkin celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Xbox Classic with a refresh of Duke

Duke is without a doubt one of the most recognizable video game characters, designed with American video game players in mind because of his “big hands,” and then reduced in size to appeal to Japanese audiences.
