They don’t make gaming consoles like they used too. Do you think a PSP would be able to withstand a Gulf War bombing and live to tell the tale? That’s exactly what this Game Boy has managed to do.
Despite being blown into a burnt plastic mess this Game Boy still somehow maintains the ability to trudge along its gaming destiny, still playable and for the most part, surprisingly intact.
The title of this post is in no way misleading. This is an actual working guitar made using an NES console! This must be the coolest damn mash-up in gaming history. I’ve heard people say gaming rocks, but this is ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome. Awesomely ridiculous. Awdiculous.
Including Donkey Kong knobs and Mario switches, check out the video after the jump to get a feel for how NES-ified this guitar actually is.
The PS3 Slim was already beginning to feel a little chubby. Time takes a a toll on the body. Thankfully, we have Ben Heck to make everything more portable. His new PS3 Slim Laptop takes the improved hardware of the Slim and makes it even more mobile with his notebook-inspired mod.
Remember when Bush number one was president, the dust from the fallen Berlin wall had barely settled and a little handheld gadget named Game Boy ruled supreme? The Game Boy iPhone Pouch takes me back to the days of laying in bed for hours, trying to beat my own high score of Tetris.
I’ve been one of those bare back iPhone users. Letting my phone get some air doesn’t seem to have caused much damage, though the awesomeness of this pouchy case is calling my name. Either that, or those voices are back. Maybe I should get my medication dosage checked.
Back in the day there were two handheld consoles which ruled all. Game Boy was the vertical colorless classic and Sega Game Gear was the horizontal version of Genesis in your pocket.
While the retro-tastic Horizontal Game Boy clone doesn’t include the color graphics and lithe designs of more modern adaptations, it does provide an alternative perspective of what gaming would have been like, had Nintendo opted for a horizontal form factor. Man, I wish I had held on to my original Game Boy.
I’m the console disguised as another console disguised as a PC.
Actually, this is just a badass case mod. Some dude shoved his entire Acer Aspire One A150 and a CD-ROM drive shoved into a SNES shell. The cartridge acts as a loader for discs, which is pretty inventive. What I want to know is if the creator destroyed a working SNES to make this mod. That’d be a waste of a perfectly good system.
Project Natal could be headed to an Xbox near you! At least, that’s what sources are leading us to believe. If the speculation is correct, and as we all know, it ALWAYS is, than Microsoft will be releasing their motion-detecting Natal, not as a peripheral add-on, but as the major component of their next-gen console.
So, what does this mean for us? Will the next Xbox be more like a Wii than an Xbox? Hmm, interesting query, Watson. Seems Sony is even heading in that direction. Good lord, Nintendo, what have you done?
Don’t ask me why I’m awake at 5:11 AM on a Sunday morning but hey, check this out. It’s officially the next incarnation of Sony’s PSP. It’s called the PSP Go and so far, the following features are known about it:
# 3.8-inch display (resolution is undisclosed)
# 43 percent lighter than the PSP-3000
# 16GB of Flash storage
# Bluetooth built-in; supports handset tethering and BT headsets
# No UMD drive
# Memory Stick Micro slot
# New Gran Turismo, Little Big Planet and new Metal Gear Solid on the way
# Full PlayStation Network support (movie and TV rentals / purchases)
# Integration with PlayStation 3 (works the same as the PSP-3000 does)
Engadget has the full scoop if you want all the deets. I haven’t been excited about a portable gaming system for a long time and this is making me grin.
Warm temperatures, cool drinks and plenty of beach babes. Doesn’t matter. You’ll be that guy stuck in the beachhouse too busy to go outside ’cause he just got the new lime green Nintendo DS bundle and plopped down money for Chinatown Wars. Lucky.
This has gotta hurt the ego of Take-Two and Rockstar Games. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the latest iteration of GTA on the Nintendo DS, hasn’t been selling. At all. Since its release in March, it’s sold a mere 88,704 copies. Compare that with over 7 million copies of GTA IV and you have a complete massacre. Business Insider thinks the reason for the lack of sales is due to the fact that most DS owners are children, with which I somewhat agree.
Regardless, Rockstar better start pushing this game hard or its top franchise is in for a hurtin’.
