Nintendo Game & Watch Modded Into Cellphone (Verdict: WANT)

Look, what our friend the crazy modder has done now: mixed a 1981 Octopus Nintendo Game & Watch with a cellphone with his bare hands, probably creating the best retro game handheld/cellphone combo ever. What makes this Octo-phone better than the WiiPhone is that, first of all, people won't think you're a recent release from the local Mentalist Correctional Facility who believes he is having a rational four-way conversation with God, Peter Sellers and Poon-tang the Seven-Legged Donkey on a Wiimote.

In an interview with Ars Technica, a MS employee recounts a story about a member of his team who brought his modded Xbox to show Bill Gates. More »
