Gaming peripheral maker to debut first ever game title at E3

Video game peripheral manufacturer Hyperkin is branching out from making gaming accessories and will debut its first-ever game software title at the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles next week.

Sounds similar to the b-boy game for psp with some extra dance styles. Cool i guess.

Has potential if online you can vs others, even better if it was a lobby of say four or a tournament of 8 and each dance off the non dancing players watch and then vote on who won that round.

Also i wonder if it'll have move/PS eye support.

Anyways has potential for people who are into those sort of games :)

I guess we'll find out next week at E3.

I'm always nervous when non game makers decide to make (or simply just publish) a game -- especially a trendy game like dance games.

Aka hyperkin has remade the Sega nomad.
Hyperkin does what Sega don't

I'd have to wait to see performance, because if this is just another rom dump-to-emulation type Hyperkin device then hard pass. The quality of their products are severely hit-or-miss.

Also, unsure why they picked a 16:9 screen yet again when every game plays in 4:3. There are plenty of emu-handhelds that have quality screens in the original aspect ratio.

Profchaos112d ago

So I've got clarification on the screen it'll go between 4:3 and 16:9 with a toggle but yeah I get what you mean it does look like a 16:9 screen.

Also doesn't appear to be a emulation device runs native carts. But also I guess you could just load up a everdrive and play anything on it.

Very cool. I have the green duke they made and will gladly pick up these.

Magog951d ago

I forgot how awkwardly placed all those buttons were.

Vits951d ago

Still one of my favorites controllers overall. Extremely comfortable for my hands.Unfortunately the Hyperskin version is ridiculously expensive in my region. To the point that you can actually get yourself a Xbox Series controller and a Dual Sense for the same price.

VenomUK951d ago (Edited 951d ago )

@Vits For me, no way! When playing Halo at a friend's the Duke was always unwieldily big. I didn't buy my original Xbox at launch I bought it when it had the refined smaller controllers, and they were great. It's funny to think how the designed was refined and then went next level with the 360 controller.

Vits951d ago

Totally fair.
I know very few that share my like for this controller. And the 360 is still one of my go to controllers for a lot of PC games. It's a shame that finding an original one in good condition is so difficult these days.

darthv72951d ago

I enjoyed the duke as well, then again I have large hands. When the S controller came out, it didnt take much to get used to it (except the placement of the b/w buttons) but Id say 360 was their magnum opus.

medman951d ago

I really like the design....well done.

Hyperkin celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Xbox Classic with a refresh of Duke

Duke is without a doubt one of the most recognizable video game characters, designed with American video game players in mind because of his “big hands,” and then reduced in size to appeal to Japanese audiences.
