Hyperkin TurboHD

[gusmoney]

Hyperkin appears to have a TurboExpress-esque clone on the drawing board.

Looks pretty sweet. I need it to be compatible with TED.

I would love one of these if the price point is reasonable and it works well out of the gate.

Interested to see if it will support internal saving for certain games and/or save states like their Retron.

No CD Support

That was a disappointment with the Retron.

Considering they purposefully left out any ED support for the Retron 5, I doubt it.

 

[famicommander]

AMOLED? DTV tuner?

That seems very odd.

 

[BanishingFlatsAC]

That shits fake as fuck.

 

[Tw3ek]

Little early for April Fools Day isn't it?

 

[Galder]

If this thing is true its gonna be hawt.

 

[lolifoxgirl]

Cd support please.

 

[ShootTheCore]

It's on Hyperkin's Facebook page, so presumably it's not an April Fools fake.

I just hope it doesn't have a Death Grip on the cards or a propensity for bent pins like the Retron 5.

Well last year's April Fools joke (dated 3/31/2015) from Hyperkin is also on their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/HyperkinGa...6988796002892/824475850920846/?type=1&theater)

I hope it is not a joke but the HD TV tuner seems like a stretch.

the TV tuner makes this stink of "joke" - plus, 16x9 screen?! WTF - I'm calling BS on this as well

Also, that "antenna" nonsense?! Terrible

Most definitely another april fools gag, but still neat idea. Also, has nobody else noticed the widescreen... on a 4:3 system, or are we all just looking away from that and continuing to love the possibility? Nobody ignored it on the NGX, that's for sure. And that -actually- came out.

EDIT:

Damn, beat me to it as I was posting.

I figured 16:9 is just standard and you'd be hard pressed to find a 4:3 LCD now.

 

[GutsDozer]

Radness if real.

 

[Ralfakick]

Gotta be April Fools, but fingers crossed its real, I'm sure there would be a demand for it if it is real

Same, but the TV tuner part gave it away.

nah, they could easily have 4:3 made - supaboy isn't 16:9

If this thing sees the light of day I will chug ipecac.

 

[NGCDFreak]

Sweet.

 

[Tripredacus]

The market isn't big enough to support selling something like that. Either it is fake or they are dumb.

 

[gusmoney]

Yes, the Turbo HD was but our way of partaking in the festivities. However, it wasn't for naught. It was a way to gauge interest in the TurboGrafx-16, a console we highly respect and enjoy. For those who caught on early (and we mean way early), thanks for bein' good sports! Have a good weekend.
We made Kotaku's best AFD Joke list!

Per Hyperkin's FB page.

 

[fenikso]

Dicks.

 

[WoodyXP]

Meh.. I wouldn't have bought it even if it was real. PCE emulates just fine on my handhelds.

 

[Psygnosis8]

Fuck you, hyperkin.

Although their replacement Genesis controller aren't bad...
