I've owned a new in box Hyperscan for months and can't bring myself to take it out of the box; not because it will diminish what little value the console has, but because playing it will diminish what little value my life has.

Actually I'd argue the Neo Geo CD loads faster. Here's why; it went through almost two loading sequences plus a cutscene in the time it took the Hyperscan to do just one loading sequence.

I was recently donated a sealed retail box full of X-men Hyperscan cards and display, so I’m here to find out more about this gaming antique.

In the defense of the NeoGeo, the HyperScan loaded one single game, the other game however loaded a little cutscene, then loaded the game, so in my book the NeoGeo won, due to the fact that it went through 2 loading screens while the HyperScan went through one.

I remember Hyperscan the first time it was in the toy store BR, so it's made for kids. There was also Spiderman handheld Something like Tiger Electronics. So it is made for children, therefore was cheap😅

Apparently, the X-Men game on the HyperScan was ranked better than Shaq-Fu by the Angry Video Game Nerd.

That intro tune is just so catchy...

I use to have one of these... I loved it! People would come over and ask what it is and I'd say "Why thats my paperweight!". It was the best paper weight in the world!!!

I can finally say- "I have seen it all!" I thought I would never see the day Mark not happy with a video game. This was genuinely funny...your kids could be stabbing each other with forks! Genius!

Actually, I think the Neo Geo wins since it had to go through two loading times.

Very funny review. I am very curious to watch the reviews for its games.

I was honestly shocked when you said 'realised in 2006'

You know what, this console was a very creative idea, using cards to play a video game makes it physically engaging, something a lot of video games nowadays lack. You don't even have to get up to change the game! It's like a few Sega consoles, good idea, but the correct technology just wasn't there to implement it correctly. Except the games on Sega's console are really good. Yes we are seeing the tech now with the Animal Crossing cards, even the recent past had Skylanders which made a whole new devision of gaming. Overall, good idea, bad way to use said idea.

@Lok15

but there's Amiibo which is a toy but has a bar code in the bottom of it when you scan the barcode in the Wii u it registers what your toy is, to the system for example you have a Link (from legend of Zelda) toy and you scan it on the Wii u you unlock link from a certain game like Super smash bros.

Ya know what's sad... you just know that poor kids got this for their birthday or Christmas and they were really proud to have it until someone inevitably made fun of them for it. Its like shoes when I was a kid. It didn't matter if I thought my cheap shoes were cool, somebody would poke fun because they weren't Nike or Reebok.

"Think Skylanders, except broken.... And covered in whale feces!" - I shat myself laughing so hard!

I liked it, too! Granted, I sold it at a garage sale, but that's just because I didn't play much. Part of the problem he's having with the cards is that he's scanning them on the wrong side. You are supposed to put that target over the center of the scan part.

I passed on one at a garage sale last year. It was $5. It was between that and a couple of PS2 games. I think I made the right choice.

It's sad that CGR pretty much doesn't exists today.

9 years ago this was?

The Hyperscan is more reminiscent of some kind of stuff from the "AOL Time Warner" days. Think of it as something in a regular house with lighting similar to the 2002 independent movie, One Hour Photo and with stuff that's more "Warner Home Video" days from 2000-2001. These Hyperscans were released in the "A TimeWarner Company" days of 2006, but is more appropriate in very late 2001, 2002 and mid-2003.

As I understand it (and the load times from the disc vs the cards support this theory), the cards actually had no data at all. All the characters were on the disc and scanning the cards was a roundabout way of selecting them. There was no possibility of expansion content by new cards after a games launch. At best, developers could plan ahead and have cards from opposite games interact with each other, but that never happened either.

"End it" knockoff of "Finish Him!"

Someone please send one of these to Ashens. Didn't you hear? Perfect for those who like collecting weird video game stuff. That's Ashens! This is PERFECT for him.

It's time. It's time for Mark to review the LJN Video Art.

In what could be the problem when insert disc in the console, it begins to crack and freezes ?

I've never been so excited to watch a bunch of loading screens in my life ;-).

have you tried turning off the lights when scanning?

I remember seeing this back in 2006. I never wanted one but now I think this maybe a collector's item soon.

I'M ONLY 25 AND I REMEMBER LOADING GAMES VIA TAPE CASSETTE ON THE COMMODORE 64. NOW THAT TOOK THE PISS. I ALSO REMEMBER HAVING A TRACK BALL FOR MY AMIGA. GOOD TIMES

I saw an ad for this 6 or 7 years ago. It looked kinda cool... but I had a Gamecube, with more than five games.
