The first generation FC Mobile was a neat handheld that had you playing NES where ever you liked. Now Hyperkin has released the next generation of retro gaming on the go. The FC Mobile II.

FC Mobile II

2.5" LCD Screen - Play NES games on a 2.5 inch Active-Matrix LCD screen
TV-Out Capability - Share NES gaming excitement on the TV screen

FC Mobile II powered by AC adapter (included) or 4 AA batteries (not included)

Interesting to see at what price point these will sell at. The old FC Mobile sells for around 40ish on ebay.

FC Mobile – Portable NES Handheld

Posted by Josh in Nintendo, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)Mar 16th, 2009 | No Comments

If you're like me you have some nes games laying around, so the idea of being able to load them into a handheld is definitely appealing. The FC Mobile comes in a few different color combinations. A classic themed Red/White combo and a Silver/Black option. Its an import so the best place to find it is on ebay and a new FC Mobile will set you back $40 -$60 bucks. More after the jump.

Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System

Posted by Josh in Nintendo, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES)Feb 27th, 2009 | No Comments

ThinkGeek.com is starting to sell a replica system (knock off) NES/SNES Game system. Called the Retro Duo it has slots for both NES and SNES cartridges. The controllers have a generic SNES button layout. $49.99 plus shipping. Some things to consider. The S-video port will most likely do you no good for the NES games. The NES B&A keys are mapped to the Y&B keys on the controller.

Retro Duo  Features

* Game Console Plays Old Nintendo SNES and NES Games
* Two slots allow you to plug in an SNES or NES cartridge
* Switch chooses from NES (8 Bit) or SNES (16 Bit) mode
* Connects to your TV via standard composite video out or s-video out
* Stereo sound (depending on game)
* Comes with two SNES style controllers
* Plug compatible with original SNES controllers
* Plays most Japanese import games
* Main console measures a compact 16cm x 17cm x 4.5cm high

You can find the retro duo on ebay for about the same price or less. It also comes in a white/blue and a "limited edition" red/yellow.
