Introduction Less than one year after the SuperCard SD was launched, the SuperCard Team comes back with another offering, this time using miniSD media, with the goal of making the SuperCard the same size as regular GBA cards. In the mean time, they also add something else to the mix, a battery for the SRAM, making the GBA saves stay in memory even when the unit is turned off. This review will not be long, as the cart performs basically the same, but it will rather explain the advantages this cart has, while also outlining more clearly the differences of the overall game support now when compared to last year. Media
I am adding another section to this review to outline the miniSD media itself, as I find it quite surprising. It supports the same features as the already small SD cards, but they get even smaller than before : they are now tiny! The capabilities are also the same as SD media, provided you can find a card which supports said features. The miniSD cards also come with an SD adapter, as most media readers don't directly support miniSD. It also enables the miniSD cards to work for SD card uses, so it's a definite plus, as it yields a card which can have many uses with its two supported formats. Packaging
I've said it last year, and I will have say it this year too : when will they ask a native english speaker to check their boxes? I would have thought it could be better now that they are much better known, but this is something that they still haven't changed. It's really not a big deal, as they either get shelved or trashed, but it's something that could be literally be changed within minutes, and would make the company seem better... Hardware
While I wasn't complaining that much on the blue plastic used in the SD edition, this time it's purple, and it is in fact the same as the Extreme Flash Advance (EFA), both for the feel and the size (which are the same). It feels as sturdy, and the miniSD slot is easily accessible : you don't even need to remove the SuperCard anymore, yippee! It is located on the top of the card, but there's just ONE thing I found weird at the first : when I inserted the miniSD card in it, I figured I should line up the "stickers" together, it did click, and it gave me this :
I couldn't believe they would have made the card smaller, so that it fits perfectly inside an NDS, but have the media stick out! A few moments after, I thought that even though the slot did click, maybe it wasn't on the right side, so I tried flipping it over, then ...
Ahh, much better now, heh? And as you could have guessed, since it is the same size than a GBA cart, it now fits perfectly inside an NDS, and I'll tell you : after all this time, while the sticking-out wasn't a big problem, it now feels nice to have nothing sticking out...
