StoneAgeGamer #1 Posted March 11, 2009 Hyperkin just alerted me that the FC Mobile 2 will probably be released sometime at the end of this month (March). Once I get some finalized pictures, specs, and a solid release date I will begin taking pre-orders on these. I will also be offering a 10% discount to AA members. I will post the discount code once I a pre-order ready. Keep checking this thread for updates. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadlyDiskKun #2 Posted March 11, 2009 The only problem with those systems is they arent exactly portable, seriously who wants to carry around a gigantic set of carts with them to switch games. I just emulate on my portable device, but I guess to a collector it would be fun in a rv. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace_1 #3 Posted March 11, 2009 (edited) Aww, damn it! It seems I won't be able to take advantage of the discount because it seems like all Hyperkin products on StoneAgeGamer aren't shipped anywhere outside the United States(I'm from Canada). Hopefully, the FC Mobile 2 will have proper NES audio like the RetroDuo. Edited March 11, 2009 by Ace_1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoneAgeGamer #4 Posted March 11, 2009 Ace_1 this will not be the case for the FC Mobile 2. The only reason those disclaimers are on their current products is because I am temporarily having them drop ship their products from their California facility for me. The FC Mobile 2 will physically be in stock at our facility and will be eligible for international shipping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperman #5 Posted March 11, 2009 the last one had some easy to fix issues but overall was pretty darn good for the money. I can't wait to see how version two pans out. I may very well preorder once the specs start flying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madhatter667 #6 Posted March 12, 2009 I'd get in line for this as well. I liked the FC Mobile, if the 2nd incarnation is better than the first, why not? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Primus #7 Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) As long as they got the buttons in the right place, fixed the sound, and made is so you don't have to RIP the cartridge out of the thing, I'm sold. -Ian Edited March 12, 2009 by Ian Primus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoneAgeGamer #8 Posted March 12, 2009 From the prototype images I saw the button placement was corrected. Obviously no idea about the sound or cart slot yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yuppicide #9 Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Sounds awesome. I might be down for one of these also. I like the idea of carrying around my 110 in 1 multicart with it. On the original FC Mobile has anyone ever tried a Jap cart with the converter? 'Cause the multicart I have is one of those pirates.

Wickeycolumbus #10 Posted March 13, 2009 I am excited for this one! I was about to get the first version. I'm waiting for this now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madhatter667 #11 Posted March 18, 2009 If I can find the container with my FC Mobile in it, I can test out a converter with it, and report back. Depends on how far in the converter sits too... doesn't do much good if you can't get the whole unit back out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoneAgeGamer #12 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I was sent the box art today. Looks a lot better than the original IMO. Unfortunately I was told I could not show it yet. I can tell you that it does have the buttons in the correct configuration (B,A) it also has turbo B and A above the regular buttons. They moved the reset button to a better location and the start button is now where the reset used to be. It also comes with 2 wireless controllers and a wireless zapper that can be used when you hook it up to your TV. It comes with AV cables like the original, but also comes with an AC adapter. Hopefully I will have price and pre-orders in the next couple weeks. Edited March 20, 2009 by StoneAgeGamer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wickeycolumbus #13 Posted March 20, 2009 Cant wait to see some pictures! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperman #14 Posted March 20, 2009 nice extra stuff, hope that doesn't drive the price to the moon. I guess if it's nice enough, the price can even be on the moon... did the wireless controllers look IR-like or RF-like? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperman #15 Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) I know you're not supposed to show us a picture, but googling "FC Mobile 2" on image search turned up some interesting stuff anyway (link) seems like the cart doesn't slide in much farther than before, and it actually looks like a fatter unit, but otherwise looks nifty also in the first pic (here)--there's something pink, and PSP sized/shaped with 6 face buttons, and a genesis cart stuck in it--I want one of those Edited March 20, 2009 by Reaperman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StoneAgeGamer #17 Posted March 20, 2009 Those pictures concepts on Google are a little old. However its pretty close to what it looks like (except colo scheme have changed and a reset button was added). The Genesis protable is something Hyperkin is also making. Its called to retroGEN Mobile. I believe it actually has built in licensed Sega games too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godslabrat #18 Posted March 20, 2009 Shit, I'm really getting tempted now... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace_1 #19 Posted March 21, 2009 I'm REALLY starting to get tempted by the FC Mobile 2. Do you know if the system can take a power supply along with the batteries? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godslabrat #20 Posted March 21, 2009 This page shows two wires, which bear a string resemblance to power cables, coming out of the unit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaperman #21 Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Do you know if the system can take a power supply along with the batteries? yeah, one of stoneagegamers posts mentions it comes with an AC cord oh, and to answer my own post about if the wireless controllers are IR or RF, the box says they're 2.4ghz RF, and might actually stand a chance of not totally sucking then. ...I dunno though...I've already seen that slim genesis unit... Might have spoiled me on this idea. The nomad's screen is looking dated, and I'm ready for a change (especially since I can't use my TV for genesis) Edited March 21, 2009 by Reaperman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoneAgeGamer #22 Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) FC Mobile 2 takes 4 AA batteries or you can use the AC adapter. He said about 10-11 hours of game play from the batteries. He said they will also be releasing a car adapter separately. Kind of weird, but hey at least they are trying. I was told the retroGEN is rechargeable, but don't hold me to that. I also heard rumors of them working on a SNES portable, but don't hold me to that either. Edited March 21, 2009 by StoneAgeGamer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nathanallan #23 Posted March 21, 2009 Portable Genesis, yes, I want one really bad. If it's pink all the better. I'm sold already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wickeycolumbus #24 Posted March 21, 2009 Hope the SNES portable is really being worked on! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StoneAgeGamer #25 Posted March 21, 2009 Alright guys. Got an e-mail from Hyperkin saying I could show the FC Mobile 2. I have attached it to this post. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
