Actually, from what I've heard it will support Super Game Boy, but most likely not 32X or Power Base Converter.
N64/NES/FC/SNES/SFC/GB (SGB)/GBC (Black)(SGB)/FDS/Satellaview/Genesis/Mega Drive/Master System & maybe N64DD/GBC/GBA.

Awesome news. Share the love.

I'm really excited for this thing, and plan on buying at least one extra as a xmas present for the family. They just got a new retro game store, and my brothers have been dying to play some older games. The $99 price point confirms that I will be purchasing at least two. :D

yeah, $99 means that I'll be getting one before the year is over (granted it's out by then).

Not bad.

I'm way more curious to see how the system handles games like Super Mario RPG and Star Ocean...

I really wish they released press stuff to people with wholesale accounts. I certainly want one of these.

If I have the time when it gets released I'll try and set up some discounted orders if I am able for anyone here.
