+sixersfan105 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Ah yes, the mythical card case. I talked about that in the original post on this thread. I don't believe the card case was ever released. The Mattel link here shows a picture of the card case but the description on that page is actually for the fanny-pack style console case, which did get released and is available for purchase in new old stock condition here.

NeonSpaceBeagle Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This looks way better than the Wii U! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have read that the actual processor in the HyperScan, developed by Sun Systems, was capable of Dreamcast-quality games, had it been pushed to its limits.

+sixersfan105 Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Wow...a Spider-Man Booster Pack popped up for sale on eBay for the first time since I've been in the HyperScan scene (is there a HyperScan scene?) and it sold for $70 less than a day after it became available for purchase. Anyone here snag it? Not cheap, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Not I. You know.. I haven't eBayed anything Hyperscan in a while. Hell, I still haven't even tried my console yet! I should get on that. Been pushing it off.. and off.. and off.. in lieu of other gaming related items that are likely a lot more fun to experiment with. Life is short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPilz Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) I don't even know if I own the actual Spiderman game yet, I have to check my "bag of Hyperscan oddities" I've picked up over the years. I just checked some footage and Spiderman really looks to be the stand-out game on the platform with decent variety of missions. Some day I'd love for there to be a reemergence of interest in the system for homebrew uses, since the media can be burned onto standard CD-Rs.

Yeah, I agree that Spider-Man is probably the best game on the system. A reemergence of interest would definitely be cool; we shall see! Very much a shame about the lack of preservation over the years. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theg80 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I love my hyperscan and yes I know the games arent made of the quality people think they should have been. Truth is I always felt like this was more toy collectible than video game. I'm still trying to find the 2 promo cards I know were released one was lady deathstrike for xmen which is her ultimate and the other I had seen on ebay years ago was ghost freak which was his ultimate for ben 10. There was supposed to be a 3rd promo card to sire if they are counting the 2 spiderman promos of which one has never been released. Would love to finish the other 4 games card sets up as I'm close with only finishing the xmen one up. Is there somewhere I can go to find singles for sale that is trustworthy. ebay does not have any that I need anymore. anyone still on here that could help I would love to hear from you thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I feel like they tried to appeal to both card collector-kids and video game-kids and in practice, kind of half-assed both. I'll send you a private message, as I have some spare cards for most games (not Spider-Man). Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted June 21, 2023 Author Share Posted June 21, 2023 I've got some spare HyperScan cards for X-Men, Interstellar Wrestling League (IWL) and Ben-10. I hooked up @Theg80 with an IWL card that he had been trying to track down. For anyone who's looking to expand their collection, feel free to shoot me a PM with your card needs and I'll see what I can do to help. Specific cards start at just $5 (harder to find cards will be slightly more expensive). As a reminder, a rarity guide is available here. I could also put together Booster Packs in original (open) packaging for both X-Men and IWL, but you wouldn't be able to pick and choose your cards when buying a Booster Pack, of course. $5 per Booster Pack for X-Men and $10 per Booster Pack for IWL, with multiple buys bringing the price down some. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theg80 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Also update to my list as I'm now happy to announce I can take 5 of the ben 10 cards off my list which are the following 17 Thermostat 33 dive bomb 35 scalpers armor 38 binary blaster 75 ultimate stinkfly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAM3RBO1 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 So I have been slowly compiling over the past two years. I have bought the system, two controllers, the carry case, the Ben 10 game, Marvel Heroes, and X-Men.

GAM3RBO1 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I am currently bidding on a copy of IWL. Do you know anywhere that sells spider man besides the 100 dollar copies on eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theg80 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 That's the typical going rate for spiderman on hyperscan. It's one of the better games as well. If you can get enough of the cards that is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I liked the idea of hyperscan, and I believe it could have been a hit, had it released a decade later. The problem with 06 is every console was still being released complete, but a decade later it may have made sense. There wasn't enough games to attract the collector crowd, but its overall very "skylanders" or "amiibo" in style, and those both seemed to be a hit. Don't know if the cards used bar/dot codes, or were rfid variants, but if the latter, it could fave gotten the toy/statuette scene as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the "IntelliCards"/game cards used RFID technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
