The question remains, original SNES mouse, or Hypercrap mouse?

I don't typically do ebay/, but I do like to browse used game shops. However, I've only seen an OG Snes mouse once. *Edit* Looks like I can get one for around $20 shipped on Amazon.

I've seen a few reviews of the hyperkin mouse and it seems fine, but maybe not quite as good as the original (one reviewer said "too precise"). *Edit* Several reviewers on Amazon report jittery behavior on Arkanoid, likely because of the higher resolution.

So basically, I'm going to wait and see. *Edit* Looks like I will skip the Hypercrap, even though I dislike ball mice, too many bad memories.  :banghead:

More info on the Hyper Blaster HD: https://kotaku.com/soon-youll-be-able-to-play-duck-hunt-on-modern-tvs-1831548013

"The Hyper Blaster HD, being demonstrated this week at CES in Las Vegas, uses a special HD adapter to sync its sensor with the television it is attached to, making the old black-and-white screen trick work once more."

KenToad:
The Hyper Blaster HD only works for Duck Hunt so far. That's disappointing.

Yup. This is exactly why that Modern Mallard KS failed.  People want more than just one lightgun game which, quite frankly, isn't that great.

In fact, I wonder if Hyperkin approached the Modern Mallard guy for the Hyper Blaster.

pbj:
I'd bet money they did. Way too coincidental.

KenToad:
Just saw on Hyperkin's FB page that they are "working directly with NESLCDMod.com."

Still not sure what the adapter box is for, though. *Edit* It looks like the "adapter" is actually a game genie style piece that attaches between your cart and the console. I guess that this device just patches the ROM using NESLCDMod's code.
