The Mega 95 is a new gaming handheld from Hyperkin that\u2019s designed to play original Sega Genesis and Mega Drive cartridges. It\u2019s equipped with a five-inch display that has a toggle to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 modes, and a battery that Hyperkin says should last 10 hours per charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The handheld looks to be a portable version of Hyperkin\u2019s MegaRetroN HD Gaming Console<\/a>, the existing Genesis-compatible retro console released in 2018 and which now sells for $59.99. Hyperkin\u2019s press release doesn\u2019t go into detail about how the Mega 95 runs its classic Genesis titles, but the MegaRetroN HD reportedly uses a hardware emulation approach with quality that sits somewhere between a software emulator and the premium FPGA-based system used in Analogue\u2019s Mega Sg home console<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Although the Mega 95 is designed primarily as a handheld system, there\u2019s also a USB-C dock available that\u2019ll let you plug it into a TV and which features ports to plug in additional controllers.\u00a0Each Mega 95 comes with a dock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pricing or a release date for the Mega 95 is yet to be announced, but for reference Hyperkin\u2019s handheld Super NES emulation machine currently sells for $119.99<\/a>. With any luck, that could mean the Mega 95 ends up being more affordable and more readily available than the Analogue Pocket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
