TAG RESULTS FOR: n64

No matter what Nintendo flavor is your favorite you can just about bet that Lesley Karpiuk has the right soap for you. Inspired by the iconic design of retro Nintendo cartridges, these soaps come in NES, SNES, N64 and Gameboy varieties. The prices range from $2 to $6.50, so even if you prefer the significantly larger NES soap, it won’t break the bank. Each bar is “handmade one-at-a-time from natural vegetable glycerin and moisturizers, enriched with aloe and vitamin E.”... Continue reading

But see, I don’t dare. And I’ll tell you where you screwed up. 25% of the profits go right the Child’s Play charity. Which means 75% still goes to some dude. Look, I’m not feeling very charitable. I can barely put food on the table myself. I’ve been eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches twice a day.

Over at the Ben Heck forums, user Hailrazer posted an impressive DIY project of his. Using an old Lazer Doodle he found at a flea market, he modded it into an impressive portable Nintendo 64 dubbed Darth 64.

So what will Nintendo do now that the Wii has been released and the initial flow of new games has stopped? Well, besides selling more and more Wiis, they are leveraging their Virtual Console platform to launch new (old) games. Having just released Wario Ware: Smooth Moves, Mario Kart 64 is set to be available next week on VC. Why is this significant? Only becuase Mario Kart 64 is one of the most significant racing games on any console. Even... Continue reading
