It is featured as one of the ten worst systems ever by PC World magazine. The system was universally panned by critics for its clunky design, broken controls, poor library, long loading screens and the unnecessary usage of cards to select characters, and was officially discontinued in 2007. Two-player value packs were sold online (but may have been liquidated in stores) and included an extra controller and 12 additional X-Men cards. It included the system, controller, an X-Men game disc, and 6 X-Men cards. The cube box version was the version sold in stores. The system was sold in two varieties: a cube and a 2-player value pack. Games retailed for $19.99 and the console itself for $69.99 at launch, but at the end of its very short lifespan, prices of the system were down to $9.99, the games $1.99, and booster packs $0.99.
Players are able to enhance the abilities of their characters by scanning cards.
The HyperScan has two controller ports, as well as a 13.56 MHz RFID scanner that reads and writes to the "cards" which, in turn, activate features in and save data from the game. The included game was rated "T" (Teen, not suitable for under age 13) and the remaining titles were rated "E10+" (not suitable for under age 10) by the ESRB.
It used radio frequency identification (RFID) along with traditional video game technology. The HyperScan is a home video game console from the toy company Mattel.

Maybe I am just not a big fan of Chicken Divan? After all, this was my first time making it as well as eating it! Don't think I would make again, but only because I am not a big fan. I'm pretty sure this tasted very similar to the original recipe as I didn't make drastic changes. I didn't use the water chestnuts (even though I love them!) because our granddaughter was here and I didn't think she would eat them! I used about 3/4 cup mayo and about 3/4 cup light sour cream and added a good dash of garlic powder. Per others suggestions I did crumble Ritz crackers on top and am glad I did as it added a bit of a crunch. Didn't add the butter since I had sauteed the mushrooms in a butter/olive oil mixture and figured the cheese would add enough "oil". Not sure if the cream of chicken would have made that much of a difference? After reading some of the other reviews, I did up the lemon juice to about 2 tsp. I sauteed fresh mushrooms (didn't have canned) and used one can cream of brocolli and one can cream of mushroom as that is what I had on hand. We enjoyed this, but were not over joyed. Those fresh mushrooms I've been using should be adding a lot more moisture than canned mushrooms, but it's never been soupy for me. (Well, that could just be my nostalgia popping up again Mamaw thought everything was better with a crunchy topping.) Anyway, and as to the too "saucy" that a couple people had problems with you're not adding water to the soup, are you? Just add the condensed soup as a base, you don't add the water. I also add crushed Ritz crackers on top of it all to make a crunchy topping and I think it was an outstanding addition. I tried using low-fat cheese once, and it just made a yellow plastic shell that I literally peeled off the top of the casserole. I don't think there's any other substitutions that can be made, though. I told myself I was making it a bit healthier by using fresh mushrooms, Campbell's Healthy Request soup(low fat & sodium), and Duke's Light mayo and it comes out beautifully. I use cream-of-mushroom instead of cream of chicken, which I think added a nice touch. Certainly not an every-day dish, but for me, perfect nostalgia/comfort-food. Ok, this is the Chicken Divan "Mamaw" used to make.
