| Hyperkin N64 Clone Console announced |
| (1/5) > >> |
| Megatron:
This was just announced by hyperkin. A Nintendo 64 clone console with HDMI out. No word yet on a release date, as this seems to be just the Prototype. But it is still cool none-the-less to finally have a Nintendo 64 clone console. Maybe it wil be good, maybe not. But it opens the door for companies like Analog to do one as well. Exciting times. https://mspoweruser.com/hyperkins-ultra-retron-is-a-nintendo-64-for-modern-tvs/ |
| Megatron:
The article says that there has been no confirmation if it will accept original controllers. However, the ports look exactly the same, and as long as the power supply is good I can't imagine this thing wouldn't support original controllers as well as those fight pads that came out last year. If not, hopefully the hyperkin model controller has a much better thumbstick. |
| Arseen:
Too bad this too seems to be console that emulates the carts, meaning N64 Everdrive will almost certainly not work. Hope Analoque tips their tow in soon (as well release cheaper NES console and Sega 32-X, and maybe Mega CD). |

NASTY. --- Quote from: Arseen on June 05, 2019, 02:58:59 PM ---Too bad this too seems to be console that emulates the carts, meaning N64 Everdrive will almost certainly not work.

VERY unlikely that at sega CD or 32x to happen either. N64 hasn’t been completely cracked yet, which is part of why emulation still sucks, and why the hyperkin clone will be crap. May as well build a raspberry Pi console. It’ll be just about the same thing, sans cart port. |

It's strange that Analogue never made an NES that was priced in line with their SNES or Genesis, but at least the Retro AVS exists. I would argue that it's on par with the Analogue systems, and therefore, well above the Hyperkin stuff. |
