NES Cartridge Modded into NES System With Screen, Space-Time at Risk Again

I've changed my mind: this has to be the most jaw-dropping NES mod ever, beating April's one. And this time the space-time continuum is at risk of ripping. Modder Darkeru over at Ben Heck forums has twisted reality around by including an entire NES emulator system, plus controls, plus an LCD screen into an original NES cartridge. It got a tiny bit beaten-up during the mod work, but I think we can forgive that because it's so ingenious. If I was wearing a hat, I'd doff it in Darkeru's direction. [Ben Heck Forums]

NES Cartridge Modded into NES System. Space-Time Remains Intact

This has to be the most jaw-dropping NES mod ever ... putting a whole system-on-a-chip NES console clone into an original game cartridge. Talk about how to demonstrate the advances in shrinking electronics over the years! Modder Kotomi took an original Super Mario Brothers cartridge, gutted it and somehow squeezed in all the circuitry, chips, power switches, twin joystick ports and composite video and stereo audio sockets. And it even looks pretty neat. If I was wearing a hat, I'd tip it in Kotomi's direction. [Technabob]

Kangaroom's Stackable Console Storage Holds Games, Consoles

We've been fans of Kangaroom's cord organizers for a while, so their newest Game Console Storage units seems like they're just the thing to keep your gaming neat and organized without a large entertainment center. Not only does the unit hold one standard-sized console (not sure if the Xbox 360 or PS3 can fit in there, though) it also holds 37 games and a couple controllers. If you have multiple consoles, you can even stack multiple Console Storage units on top of each other to form your own Captain Planet-game storage area. $40 for the console storage unit and $80 for the storage unit plus game cabinet.

Lavod PocketPlay 320 & 350 MP3 Player

We know what you're thinking: "Those two gizmos look an awful lot like the Game Boy Micro." And they do, there's no denying it, but they're not actually full-fledged handheld game consoles— Lavod's PocketPlay 320 & 350 may come pre-loaded with classic SEGA titles like Sonic Chaos, Sonic Spinball and Ecco the Dolphin, but are also meant to be MP3 players. Surprisingly, considering their model numbers, the 320 has twenty games and the 350 just ten. They both have 2.4-inch TFT color displays and TV outs; the 350 has both a SD Card slot and USB 2.0 port; presumably the 320 has a way for you to get media onto it as well. More »
