Talking about starting the new year off right, Hyperkin has sent us more information on even more cool gear coming in 2019. They took the wraps off the Hyper Blaster HD, covered in our original video, but now we have some additional information:

Hyper Blaster HD:

Insert your original Duck Hunt cartridge into the special Hyper Blaster HD Adapter, then pop it into your NES or NES-compatible system (not compatible with the RetroN 5). Plug the Hyper Blaster HD light gun into the Player 2 port and a regular controller into the Player 1 port. You're ready to hunt.

We've also learned that, at least at this time, the Hyper Blaster HD is ONLY compatible with Duck Hunt. Other light gun games might be playable in the future, but that is TBD.

In addition to the Hyper Blaster HD, Hyperkin shared additional release information with us:

Retron 2 HD:
• HD audio and video (720p) with 16:9/4:3 switch (HD cable only)
• High compatibility with (NTSC/PAL) NES and SNES cartridges
• Comes with a “Cadet” and a “Scout” premium classic-style controller
• Includes AV ports with AV cable

HDTV Cable for GameCube/ N64/ SNES

Hyperkin's "Cadet" Premium Wireless BT Controller for the NES and "Scout" Premium Wireless BT Controller for SNES let you hold the good ol' days right in your hands, while providing ergonomic, modern comfort and classic reliability.
