Hyperscan
2006 - 7th generation system
The Hyperscan is a video game console developed by Mattel, released in 2006. It was aimed at the children's market and was intended to be a more affordable alternative to other video game consoles. The Hyperscan had a unique feature, it was able to scan special cards that came with the games and allowed players to unlock new characters, power-ups and other bonuses in the game. It also had a built-in LCD screen, which allowed players to play games without the need for a TV. The Hyperscan was not well received by critics, it was criticized for its poor graphics, limited game selection and lack of innovation. The console only had a handful of games released for it, which were mostly based on popular licensed properties such as Spider-Man, Superman and Ben 10. The Hyperscan was not a commercial success and was discontinued after a short period on the market. It was not a widely known console and is considered a obscure one. It's worth noting that Mattel has a history of making electronic games and toys and they may have been experimenting with this new technology but it didn't catch on. The Hyperscan had a relatively small library of games, most of which were based on popular licensed properties such as Spider-Man, Superman, and Ben 10. Here are some examples of games that were released for the Hyperscan: Spider-Man: The Movie: This game is based on the first Spider-Man film and allows players to control the titular character as they swing through the city and battle villains from the film. Superman: Shadow of Apokolips: This game is based on the Superman animated series and allows players to control the titular character as they fly through the city and battle villains from the show. Ben 10: Protector of Earth: This game is based on the animated series and allows players to control the character Ben as he transforms into various alien forms and battles enemies. The Incredibles: Rise of the Underminer: This game is based on the animated film and allows players to control the characters from the film as they battle the Underminer and his robot minions. X-Men: The Official Game: This game is based on the X-Men film franchise and allows players to control Wolverine, Iceman, and Nightcrawler as they battle enemies from the films. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward: This game is based on the animated series of the same name and allows players to control the turtles as they battle enemies and explore the city. It's worth noting that these games were not well received by critics and were criticized for their poor graphics, limited gameplay and lack of innovation. The Hyperscan was not a commercial success and was discontinued after a short period on the market, resulting in the games not being widely known or popular.
