Fake. It looks like a f*cking walkie talkie.

If it's legit and cheap enough I would be interested.  I am not a huge handheld lover to begin with but, I would dump my DS Lite for something like this when I travel.  If it has TV out and a controller port it would be really cool. 

If this is real, all of you folks hoarding TE's as your retirement fund should be scared.

As said earlier this is too close to April 1st for me to take seriously.

%10 chance it's leaked from a Tommo project intentionally to see if they could make this thing without a NeoGeoX sized hate train destroying it completely.

This is my thinking. The proximity to April 1 could be intentional, too. If it's ridiculed, it's "Ha ha! April Fools'!" But if it gets people excited, they can then move forward with actual plans. ThinkGeek has done this a few times with a few things.

April Fools early

I believe this is it.

Didn't Hyperkin do something similar last year.

All you need to know is that there is very little market for Turbo/PCE clones. If something this over the top hasn't already long ago been done for SNES, then there's no way it's happening for Turbo/PCE.

If he actually sticks to the TG-16 title and delivers a full album which contains some sort of gaming/Turbo references in the artwork and/or lyrics/samples... then it might affect the Turbo market in a noticeable way. But it'll be a while after something like that before we see any kind of dedicated clone at all, let alone something as advanced as this mockup.

Hmmmm...

Part of me wants this to be real so bad. The other part says: just buy a TE.

If it is real, it's a fantastic way for more people to get into the turbo/PCE, without driving up prices on eBay hardware.

All that said, I don't think it's real. Not enough people want straight up turbo gear to make a factory run type investment. Just the prototyping would cost more than they could reap.

Aparently you don't understand TV. Over the air HDTV looks amazing, costs nothing, and saves shitloads of battery compared to something like LTE. Given that I have six things that can play Netflix, this would actually be a cool feature, amazing for sports fans.

No I do, but thanks for being patronizing. Of course with a housing that large you could fit an absolutely huge battery in it, an active WIFI radio doesn't actually burn much power anyway, and you can actually use the internet for more than just Netflix. But sure, a tuner would be better. :roll:

I'm not a huge fan of Hyperkin. I agree I think 16x9 screen is a huge mistake. I love my Turbo Express and I think the next thing will be for me to get it modified with a battery and possible screen.

I'm not a fan of people using real carts on android emulators. It is just helping drive up the price on carts.

Especially when you have shoddy crap like the Retron 5 with pin connectors so tight they ruin said carts.

This has been cleared as fake on their fb page.

I already own a TE and I would much rather just mod the screen like turbokon does instead of have this. I love the look of the TE.
