Generation NEX: Ultra-Slim NES

Posted in Hacked Gadgets, Nintendo at 1:14 pm by Bassam


It’s amazing that people are still playing the original NES, released 20 years ago. I still have a collection of at least 50 games gathering dust somewhere.
Some creative individuals have created a slim NES that’s 1.5″ thick, and has built-in support for wireless controllers. It will play all those NES cartridges that you haven’t sold for $3 (right?). You can get your own for $59.99, which, coincidentally, is the new lowered price for a Nintendo Gamecube with 2 games and 2 controllers.

A very funny and cool flash movie. It’s a physics lesson in the Super Mario Brothers universe. The part where Mario breaks the sound barrier is great! Definitely worth seeing.

NES DVD Player

Some enterprising person hacked their trusty old NES and stuck a working DVD player in there. The NES power button works, and the lid pops open when the tray is ejected. Muy cool!
