So real or fake, color me interested...

My guess is wishful thinking, as I'd expect a console first before going after a niche handheld market.

I'd expect it to be like that Retro Freak thing anyway, in which case I'd not have much interest, though it does look pretty cool.

Kinda dumb for it to have a 16:9 screen.  I mean, I get that it has the TV tuner built in, but shouldn't it be for playing Turbo games first, and for watching TV second?

You do know that 16:9 displays can display 4:3 right?

Yes, but why the f*ck would you put a 16:9 screen on a device that is named after a console that plays nothing but 4:3 games?

You might think, "because of the HDTV tuner", but I'm pretty sure it's just because there are a lot of idiots out there.

%90 chance it's super fake, %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.

Speaking of systems that have a 16:9 screen for no f*cking reason at all...

but its so ergonomic, it has to be real! also including a tuner makes no sense at all for a gadget in 2016, WIFI, 4G antennas, sure, but tv tuner? ha.

[exodus]

yeah, 16:9 would be stupid. plus, unless it has some kind of framemeister in there and costs several hundred dollars more as a result, it's gonna look crap on a TV.

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.

You wouldn't need anything like an XRGB because there wouldn't be any analog to digital conversion.

As dumb as it would look, considering it's the standard nowadays, my guess is a 16 x 9 screen is much easier and cheaper to source. I'd also expect this to just be a portable emulator box, so outputting to 1080p is no big deal.

I hope the press release shows gate of thunder playing on it.

If Hyperkin is involved, this is an emulator.

[rxmage]

If Hyperkin is involved, it will be so cheaply made the Hu Card pins will bend if you sneeze within 30ft of the thing.

[SignOfZeta]

Its going to be an emulator regardless of who makes it. Nobody is going to start making HuC6280s just for this thing.

As for the aspect ratio; while I'm sure it's easier to source a wide screen, if you are a real company you'll find that you can actually get screens made for you specifically. This is how every decent piece of gear gets made, the iPhone, the 3DS, the Vita, etc. These companies aren't dumpster diving for EOLed mobile phone displays.

I recently bought a TASCAM DPS24SD. It has a pretty square screen, although the constrast is below the current state of the art by quite a bit. There are thousands of LCDs to chose from these days.

April Fools early

I got excited until I saw "Hyperkin."
