    The NES Guitar that Redefined the Genre

    The console guitars are nothing new to the internet, but an NES guitar of this caliber—one in which even the headstock has been replaced with a cartridge&mdah;is a rarity indeed. Hit 2:20 for the demo. [TechEBlog via GadgetReview]

    Strange, One-of-a-Kind Nintendo Cartridge Fetches Highest Price Yet

    Only one of these Nintendo cartridges exist in the world, which is why it has beaten the $17,500 gold 1990 Nintendo World Championships cartridge. The new record: $20,400. However, its price is not the strangest thing about it. More »

    Yet Another Modder Desecrates Fond Nintendo Memory From My Youth

    In the 90s, NES Graphics Were Best Viewed Up Close

    Now, this is a story all about how…Wow, this pretty much hits the early-90s on the head. Baseball Stars, Nike Ultra Force kicks, Mariah Carey CD, those pants! But where's the SNES? I mean, he was the Fresh Prince, right? More »
