Hyperkin Mega95: the portable Mega Drive finally enters production

The Mega95, Hyperkin's portable Mega Drive / Genesis-compatible console, finally seems to be coming out of the tunnel. In a post on X dated October 28, 2026, the maker says "R&D and community testing are complete" and that "mass production is starting, and packaging is being finalized".

Hyperkin backed the announcement with footage showing the machine in both handheld and docked modes, Switch-style. The company says pre-order news is coming "soon", but gives no price, no release date and no full spec sheet at this stage.

A project already delayed several times

Caution is still warranted: the Mega95 has slipped before, most recently in May 2026 because of manufacturing issues. Moving to mass production is a real positive sign, but until pre-orders open and the price is known, nothing is guaranteed. We will update this article as soon as Hyperkin shares those details.
