Hyperkin SupaRetroN HD Gaming Console for Super NES/Super Famicom

First off, let me just say that I am a huge fan of the SNES. It's my favorite retro system of all time and I have a pretty good sized library of games for it. I was looking for the best, most affordable way to play my SNES games on a modern display for quite a while and thought my only option was going to be buying an expensive upscaler like a Retrotink or saving up and buying the Analogue Super NT.Then I found the Supa Retron.This console was basically exactly what I was looking for. I had tried multiple "HD cables" for my original SNES and none of them ever looked good or worked right. This console outputs a clean image with bright colors and as someone who's played A LOT of SNES games throughout their life, I can barely tell a difference in the image. It honestly feels like you're playing on an original machine that's got a clean signal boosted up to 720p.Let me reiterate this, if you are looking for an affordable way to play your SNES games on a modern display, look no further. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars to make it happen, and you don't need to settle for bad cables that make the image quality look smudgy and terrible.I've not had a single cartridge be incompatible with it and that's awesome. I thought for sure I'd have one game not run on it but I've played probably 80 or 90 different games and not one has struggled to load yet. Combine that with the two controllers that came with it, and you've got a really good value here for around $75.I was not expecting to like this thing as much as I do but man...Hyperkin you nailed it.

If you intend to hook this up via AV cables to a CRT - STAY AWAY. Colors were washed out garbage via AV on two units. If you hook AV to an HDMI adapter to AV, it looks fine but the aspect ratio is off. Do not buy this expecting good colors on games via AV hookup!

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.

System worked great for a few weeks. Return window closed a few weeks ago and now system no longer works! Only lasted a couple of months. Don’t waste your money.

Great way to keep playing your original SNES cartridges via HDMI on a modern tv set. I ran through a lot of US Super Nintendo games, and a bunch of Import Super Famicom games and experienced zero compatibility issues. Original controller port and can confirm it works with both mouse, and super scope 6 accessories.

The HDMI cord is way to short. You'll need to buy a longer one. The direction pad is very stiff/unresponsive , which is a shame because the controller cords are extra long. There are two switches that have to be just so or the game can't play (minor hassle). Most important is that the picture is crystal clear. Way better than a HD adapter.

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.
