Columbus Circle Unveils New SNES Clone Hardware

Japanese company, Columbus Circle, is set to revolutionize SNES/SFC enthusiasts’ experience with the launch of its new portable SFC compatible machine. Touted as the IPS 16bit Pocket HD, this device promises compatibility with a wide range of Super Famicom and SNES cartridges.

Key Features at a Glance:

However, the company acknowledges that not all games will work perfectly, suggesting compatibility issues might arise in certain games. It should also be noted that the wireless controllers are powered by AAA batteries.

The Verdict: While it may not be the most sleek device on the market, this new hardware offers an exciting prospect for those eager to relive classic Super Famicom experiences anytime and anywhere.


Is there room in the market for a new handheld that plays games from only a single console?

This looks really interesting. It seems like it can switch between 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios too.
