what day do u expect ur store to carry them next week? Thanks XDXD
Have you been able to test it with Star Fox or Super Mario RPG by any chance?
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
Read the thread, there's some good information you've missed, including impressions of how well it runs Star Fox.
How can it not have Super Famicom compatibility? Even if the cartridge slot isn't designed for it (I can't imagine why they'd do such a thing), the worst that should happen is you'll just need something like a Game Genie. Wonder if the person just didn't know and just checked something like that promotional flyer posted above that just listed Super Nintendo compatibility.
Even the name implies that it has Super Famicom compatibilty, why else would they be using FC in the name?

I don't know...all I can tell you is Yobo said it does not. I am not saying it does not, I am telling you what they said.
I will get them in Tuesday, so they will be up on the store on Tuesday.
I understand, I was mostly just thinking out loud about it. I look forward to hearing more impressions about this handheld, so far it appears to show much promise.
Oh I didn't miss anything, you just forgot to send me the memo actually. So I'm going to have to ask you to come in on Saturday to file your TPS reports, mmkay?
Judging from the video, I'm quite impressed.

the system will play Super Famicom games ......
but there has to be some modification done like the Super Nintendo
the main difference between the SFC carts is there is no place for the tabs inside the Super Nintendo system
so without modding the system by breaking off the tabs (not reccomended)
or cutting tabs into the back of the SFC cart
another solution is switching the inner cart from the SFC into a SNES cartridge (but you need the key to open the carts ...they are available online)
yes both load and play just put in the Mario RPG and it ran fine
and had starfox running the first day

That actually looks pretty snazzy. I'm really happy with my Hyperkin NES portable so I was planning to wait for them to release a portable SNES, but I might just have to buy this one since there aren't any alternatives on the horizon.
Does the SNES powerpak work with it?
BUY or PRE-ORDER HERE!
Controllers are RF. Screen is excellent. Build quality is solid. Rechargeable battery is replaceable.
I am sending a unit to ReviewTechUSA, I will post that on my YouTube channel when he's done.
My gripes:
- Screen flops a little bit, not really annoying while playing or anything, just me complaining
- Its a bit big, size wouldn't bother me as much if they would have taken advantage of it more, for example putting controller ports on it
- Mono sound
Other than that its a really good unit, I like it better than FC mobile 2 and GenMobile. I have Silvers for order now on the site, but other colors are pre-order only. I put early January as the ship time, but it will probably be earlier.
I feel bad that I already ordered a charcoal version from a different retailer on eBay, but once I realized that this thing was the real deal, I didn't want to wait. A portable SNES has been my virtual holy grail since I first discovered the FC Mobile back almost a year ago. I anticipate getting a lot of use out of this thing (portable Space Megaforce? Oh yes...)
A note to anyone out there intending to produce another portable SNES and would like my money -take advantage of the FC 16 Go's mistakes. Stereo sound, please. Better form factor. Do the carts HAVE to plug in from the top? Given how much the FC 16 Go mimics the form of the GBA-SP or DS-phat, I'm surprised that they didn't finish the thought and have the carts plug in from the bottom, leaving more room for the L and R buttons as well as inputs at the back. It might be hard to match the screen size, but clearly a precedent has been set. Also, don't include those needless tabs that prevent Super Famicom carts from plugging in. Baffling decision on Yobo's part on that one. More than anything, just make sure it is ergonomic and sexy as hell. The FC 16 Go hits on a lot of great bullet points, but it looks like a brick.
Are you sure they even have the Black in stock? You may want to message them. Yobo told me Black and Red were stuck in customs.
So they actually put the lockout tabs on this thing? That's just baffling. In fact, it's just plain retarded.the system will play Super Famicom games ......

Despite this system being a little big for a handheld I am still excited to get one, I have been wanting to find a good NES handheld clone to purchase and in my searching I found a handheld Super NES and now I'm all sorts of excited, I plan on ordering one right after the holiday season. I watched all the video reviews and everything looks fantastic, especially the 3.5 inch screen, it's the same size as the iPhone's screen (which I own) and it would be perfect for handheld gaming.
I think this unit is going to be a winner!

One thing I will mention for international customers is that the AC adapter has an input range of 100v to 240v. So all you will need to use the AC adapter is a plug adapter. You should not need a voltage converter.
I'd consider one if the formfactor were more pocket-friendly. There's no way I could lug one of these around with me with a cartridge in it.
Is the audio stereo on the headphone jack?
Here's a picture. My only guess is that maybe it helps with cartridge stability while its in the unit? Really I don't know beyond that.
Ugh. Oh well. This is why I own a dremel.
