Wouldn't it make more sense to make a device capable of downloading the game from the SNES cartridge, thusly improving the battery life and portability of the device?

I don't know if I'll pay 80 bucks for one, only because the battery life is almost non-existant. But it does look pretty cool, and for any old school gamer or someone old enough to even remember Super Nintendo games it might be a cool gadget to have around the house. If anything I would keep one in the bathroom to take the place of a newspaper or magazine.

Most reviews I have read about the Supaboy is that there are a couple issues with the device like the biggest issue of a high pitched tone/sound that is audible over the sound all the time and other issues of the controller ports not working....... I'd still get one if the device didn't have these issues!

If I saw somebody playing this, about to get hit by a bus- or the like, I wouldn't attempt a save.

clearly you guys missed where they talked about "this isn't for everyone, but is awesome for those who loved the snes and have cartridges kicking around".

LOL or I can buy a used PSP for much cheaper, install CFW, and play on a SNES emu.
