Reaperman Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 meh. Another smartphone controller gadget and more software emulation. Samey-samey. Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegadot Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Was this the thing that was an April Fools gag but then got so much love they went for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 It's a neat idea, and if I owned an iPhone I'd probably go for it and try it out. But, I don't own an iPhone and I'm pretty happy with my Game Boy Color; so I'm afraid I'll have to pass on this one. Still a cool concept though.

BurritoBeans Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It's a cool idea I guess. For being an April Fool's joke, it turned out pretty good. I just have a few concerns. How will battery life be affected, what will the price be, and will it be any better than just getting a Game Boy Color or something? Last time I heard of this was the CU Podcast and they said something about how it has its own battery and charges off of the phone, and that if it's over like $30 then a GBC is just as good of an option. I guess having some sort of backlight is nice, but I have a clone GB Boy Colour that does that just fine. Oh well, it's a good idea. If it does any good and it gets onto the Galaxy S6, I may try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegadot Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 If it was a charger with an extended battery and passed voice and stuff through it'd be amazing. As it is it's a neat novelty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hyperkin? You mean the company that's released four clone systems, each one with bigger flaws than the last, is going to attempt an even more ambitious project? I can't imagine how this could go wrong.
