Now, with the addition of a light gun, TV-out, and external controllers, the FC Mobile II is even better.

The new version is sleeker and way better looking than the original, but the new features turn it into a legitimate new NES replacement for you classic gaming enthusiasts. It should retail for about $60 when it's released this May. [Kotaku]

The FC Mobile is such a product, bringing a Nintendo Entertainment System into your hands. Reading real cartridges, 8-bit glory can either shine on its 2.4" display or be outputted to a television—all while fueled by classic AA batteries (sure, lithium ion would be more convenient, but it wouldn't capture the battery-burning nostalgia of yore). If you refuse to partake in emulation or your heart yearns for a simpler era, the FC Mobile will run about $40 on eBay. It's a shame the controls aren't just right. [eBay via technabob]
