I remember hearing about Hyperkin working on a portable SNES even before the FC16Go was released, and up to now had assumed they'd abandoned that project.

The FC16Go is pretty good, with the only obvious weakness being its very meaty design, short battery life and not-as-sharp-as-it-could-be LCD screen. There's certainly room for a competing portable SNES, especially if it address those three weaknesses. Given that Innex and Hyperkin are almost the only names in town when it comes to these kinds of devices, I don't expect any other portables like this coming out outside of the ones that run multiple emulators.

SupaBoy can also play SFC games, which to my knowledge the FC16Go cannot because of those stupid plastic tabs.
I'm not a fan of clamshell designs, either, so the SupaBoy is already looking like the better choice.

A clamshell design means the screen is better protected, but this one seems have actual 7 pin SNES controller ports and region free tabs. I wonder if it'll be any cheaper than the FC-16 GO v2.

The plastic tabs on these kinds of systems come right off with some sharp pliers made for wire stripping. Heck they're just clone systems anyway so I'll gladly add functionality to them.
