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.
Nintendo’s president Satoru Iwata says that the company is debating whether or not a future model of the DS will take a book from Amazon’s book marketplace device, the Kindle, and offer digital downloads over the mobile 3G network.
With this business model, Nintedo DS users wouldn’t be required to pay a monthly fee for 3G access, but would pay an overhead price included in the retail pricing, basically providing the user with a one-time fee for lifetime access to the network. Providing 3G downloads would allow users to download DLC on-the-go. If much of your town or city is still Wifi-less, you might want to consider petitioning for this idea. Though these days, most major cities are Wifi’d from border to border.
Every year around Halloween I go on a serious sugar bender. There’s something about this season that fuels the five-year-old inside of me. The problem is that I can literally look at a slice of cake and gain five pounds.
So while this Game Boy cake looks extra scrumptious with its M&M Tetris design goin’ on, I think I might have to say no to a slice of this delicious creation. Oh… what the hell… om nom nom.
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.
And you thought the six boss battles were tough when there WASN’T 54 square blocks in need of organizing.
The Mega Man Boss Battle Rubik’s Cube features scenes from all six boss battles. Your job is to complete the images, finessing all of the blocks to their proper positions using only your plasma arm cannon. But can you do it underwater?
I have a confession. A few years ago we sort of lied to you by saying that the old NES Coffee Table was actually a coffee table. In actuality, it was more like a NES Controller trunk, not a proper table at all. Luckily, if you’re really, really into geeky household shit, there is currently a real NES Controller coffee table available on eBay.
There’s already 4 bids less than a day in, so you best get a move on if you want to grab this thing for less than a fortune.
Despite popular belief, chemical engineers weren’t spawned from a mixture of radioactive materials, but they actually have a birthday like us normal people. During these birthdays they like to ingest sugary spongy material through their mouth holes, this material being known as “cake.”
This Chemistry Cake was made for a chemical engineer at Nintendo, who promptly started making guttural noises at the sight of the baked yuminess. Though his disappointment was palpable when he realized the cake included not even one zombie reference.
Not like you haven’t wasted enough hours on Nintendo.
This Nintendo Rubik’s Cube features six sides of retro gaming goodness, including the iconic logos from six different classic Nintendo games including Zelda, Super Mario Bros., Pokemon, Star Fox, Kirby and Metroid.
A generous Instructible user laid out the step-by-step process of building your own custom Nintendo bartop cabinet. Warning: Two cases of Diet Coke are required for completion.
This cabinet supplies you with your very own personal NES arcade console, compact into one arcade-ish interface.
We came across Infectious, a site which allows their users to submit there own iPhone skins and lets the other users vote whether the skin is included in their store. It’s sort of like the Threadless of gadget skins. While peeking around the site we came across this awesome Game Boy iPhone skin, complete with a dual sided design.
The home button skin really adds a nice touch to the authenticity. It seems that most of the skins on Infectious feature the two-sided skin design. This Game Boy skin is $14.99.
