New SNES handheld and DS replacement boxes
Strong and Nerdy (formerly tmntfreak7):
Hey guys I don't know if anyone saw the news today but it looks like we have a true SNES hand held coming soon

I checked out their site and they have a few other products similar to this already out for the Genesis

I'm mostly just excited for the SNES mobile, anyway would love to hear your thoughts on these products
Seraph Man:
Well the handheld SNES here is actually the second one I've seen. This looks better though, as the other looks like a fat DS (not an original DS, which people affectionately refer to as the DSFat, but a DS that's really fat), though it came with wireless controllers as an alternate. I just wish that they'd make a handheld SNES where the cartridge wasn't sticking so far out of the top. Is it too much to as it to blend like the Gameboy series did?
Those DS cases look like the exact same ones that Gamestop uses when they run out of official DS cases.

Actually you are talking about the SNES that is basically a larger NDS. The "Supaboy" hasn't been released yet. It looks promising as it has real SNES controller ports on it instead of using randomly designed controllers. I won't be getting this new portable system but it will be great for gamers who don't already have a SNES.

This is the best portable SNES I've ever seen completed.
