Hyperkin SupaRetroN HD Gaming Console for SNES/SFC - Retro Console for Super Nintendo Entertainment System(Super NES) / Super Famicom

I had some reservations initially about buying this Console, but I really wanted an easy solution to play my Super Nintendo games on my HD TVs and after a bit of research, I decided to take a chance with this model.The build quality is really good. I can't stress this enough, especially for a console at this price. Additionally, it plays all of my cartridges with no problem, including my original cartridges and the Data East collection (multi-game cart) which I ordered at the same time. I played through 2 hours of Chrono Trigger with no noticeable lag or any visible glitches with audio or video. I found that game and every other one I tried (DKC, MK, PM) very playable at the 16:9 aspect which I was not expecting. I also tried the switch to change the aspect ratio to 4:3 and everything looked good there as well.I was very impressed with how good the games looked on my 4K TV, better than when displaying from my SuperNes Classic. Part of that may be the features of my particular set (A Visio M series 65") but I was very impressed in any event. To my ear, the sound was flawless although there may be some games where that is not the case. I actually found the sound to be just as good as or better than the audio output from my original SuperNes.All in all, this is well worth the asking price. The console is also packaged very well - see photos. It includes 1 Micro USB cable, One HDMI cable, one RCA audio video cable and one AC adapter. I also really love the light that comes on in the right corner when the unit is on. The cartridge eject button is a great feature as well and works just as it should. Currently, I am powering the console off of a USB hub connected to my PC, but there is an included AC adapter as well. The controllers are really good. They feel perfect in my hand and operate well with no lag at all. The 10 foot cord is a nice touch as well. I was really surprised at just how good these controllers felt. I suppose that some people got defective units which is why they posted negative reviews, I'm not sure. I will update this if the performance degrades.

I purchased this, on January 19th of this year.. We used it two times, right at the beginning of getting it.. And we just recently had an internet outage with Comcast, so I figured why not hook this up for our son.. Keep in mind, I also had my original super nintendo hooked up first.. It ran great, we enjoyed a few games, then swapped out for a different one, and it took a dump.. So, I was like, well I've got this one in the front room, why not disconnect it, and put in his room, till I can figure out what happened to my original one.. Nope, I hooked this thing up, and original screen comes up, and then nothing but a blank screen.. Tried hooking it up originally to my front room, and nothing as well... Not happy at all right now...

I picked this up after finding a rare Zelda game I had never heard of. I have a snes somewhere…..but old systems don’t have hdmi out, and playing them on a new hd 4k tv is a problem. There are adaptors out there, but top of the line ones are $300+.This system is great, and a super good buy at $60. HDMI works perfect, sound is perfect, the controllers are super nice. Saves seem to be perfect. If you are a super super hardcore retro gamer, the Analog brand SNES may be more your thing if you can find one, but this is basically 100% a Super Nintendo for $60.It has a switch on the back that you can flip mid game for different video resolutions. They both look fine. On my tv one was small screen but looked great and the other was full 60” and looked 99% as good.Mine came with two wired controllers with super long cords, an HDMI cable for your tv, and a small adapter so you can plug into the wall. You don’t need anything else but physical games. This does not have games pre-installed. The build quality is really good and doesn’t feel cheap at all.I looked around and watched 20 ish hours of YouTube, this is the system to get. There is a better system out there….from a company called Analog…..but they have been sold out forever so you’ll pay scalper prices ($500+) on eBay.Packaging was nice and factory sealed.

Product plays well. It is straight from cartridge, not emulation.Mine came out of the [sealed] box with minor damage to the cartridge “flaps” but this doesn’t affect play. However: avoid using the eject button, as it makes horrifying sounds as it pushes the cart out. Much easier to pull it out normally.The controllers are very bad, I had to replace with a bona fide snes controller. The controllers do not process diagonal directions. This makes games like Street Fighter impossible to play.Overall a nice product; I guess I am lucky I had a spare controller ready.NOTE for purchasers: if the system tells you that a game is not meant for play on the system, flip the switch on the bottom of the unit.

Every product Hyperkin has ever put out has been very bad. Hyperkin sucks, Retro Bit sucks, AtGames sucks. They're preying on nostalgia to sell people this stuff.The other reviews are very clearly shilling - probably posted by the manufacturer.- Terrible quality, several of my games don't work.- Pin connectors don't work well, have to reseat games over and over again- A few of my 3rd party SNES controllers don't work in their controller ports- Their controllers are very bad, d-pad is terrible, does not feel like the original at all. Mushy buttons, its just...terrible. No self-respecting gamer would ever play with this garbage.- Laggy HDMI output, looks bad on screen. Not surprising at all.- Marks all over the enclosure, mine shipped with a gouge in the front of the unit...like what?Its really unbelievable. What is Hyperkin even doing? This is such a bad product. Will be returning 100%.
