Is this quite possibly the coolest SNES ever made?

You'd play Bomberman 2 on the road if it looked this stylish.
No, this is not a joke. What you see above is indeed a portable Super Nintendo (dubbed the “SupaBoy”) that is currently slated for release in North America this summer.

The company Hyperkin is responsible for the creation of this device and it will be compatible with both North American and Japanese SNES cartridges. That feature alone may be a big selling point for collectors who want to play their imported titles on the go. The SupaBoy will also have a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 5.5 hours.

In addition, the SupaBoy might include a multiplayer option (notice the SNES controller outputs below the d-pad and face buttons) that will allow you to plug the handheld into your TV. Also, according to Kotaku, they estimate the price could be in the $60-70 range. Not bad for a handheld Super Nintendo that allows me to play the more obscure import titles that I own. Time to dust and blow off some old cartridges. Makes you miss those days, doesn’t it.
