Released by Mattel in 2006, the HyperScan quickly gained a reputation as one of the worst consoles ever made. It was panned by critics and players for its long loading times, outdated & unreliable hardware, locking content behind trading cards and the mounting cost of the owning the system (the cards are required for the games to work, and cost {{Inflation|USD|10|2006}} per-pack, each pack had a random selection of cards).
Released by Mattel on {{#formatdate:2006-10-23|mdy}}, the '''HyperScan''' quickly gained a reputation as one of the worst game consoles ever made. It was panned by critics and players for:
* Locking content behind trading cards.
* The neverending cost of operation (the cards, costing {{Inflation|USD|10|2006}} per-pack for a random selection of cards, were required for the games to work)
* Long loading times (stemming from the choice of CD-ROMs as a storage media, which its hardware could not handle well)
* Unreliable hardware (the scanner for the cards often didn't work correctly)


==Emulators==
The HyperScan has also not aged well, finding a working system these days can be a challenge.
