The HyperScan was a game console developed by Mattel. It was released on October 23, 2006, with a price of $69.99.[1] It has a radio wave technology that lets it be used with special cards (called IntelliCards), which gave games special features, and the ability to save.

Because of the small amount of games, high money cost for cards, and how slow the games were, It is talked about as one of the worst video game systems ever made.[1] It was not taken well for how slow it was, how the games looked, and less able to play games than other consoles at the time. A very small number of games were made for the system, and people were upset about how each pack had cards they did not like. The HyperScan would be discontinued in 2007.
