Nintendo Wii Laptop

Ben Heck forum contributor OMGpedobear created this Nintedo Wii Laptop from scratch, including some pretty cool LED action, if you’re into that sort of thing. While the internals might not be the most organized or secured set-up we’ve ever seen, we always love to see modding geniuses working for the geeky cause of making full-scale gaming as mobile as possible. ...

Retro NES Skin Turns Your Wii Retro

When it comes down to it, I never quite “got over” my original NES console. No matter what system I might play for a few months or even years, and trust me, I’ve played quite a few different consoles in my day, I always come back to the original. Maybe it has something to do with the memories of comfort ...

NBA Jam Reloaded

Back in the day there was nothing cooler than NBA Jam. My friends and I would sit down and tap away at our controllers for hours. I even dug it on Game Gear. Well, guess what. NBA Jam is being reloaded for the Wii via WiiWare and the first screenshot of awesome has been released. Featuring the same 2D faces ...

Desperatly Seeking Power Glove Love

Now, this is my kind of Craigslist ad. But honestly, that PPS is ridiculous. How can you expect no nerds? That’s like throwing an anime convention and banning artists, or even more ridiculous, banning costumes. Link [via]

The Evolution of Nintendo Controllers

Nintendo really sort of lost it with that GameCube controller. Eight buttons? Not even counting the sticks or the control pad. Was that really necessary? With the Wii, Nintendo took us back to their simpler hey-day. It’s too bad the console is such shit. But in the Wii’s defense, the new Wii Super Mario Bros. game is a saving grace. ...

Left 4 Dead for the NES

While you were out gang-banging zombies (or Teletubbies, whatever strikes your fancy) I was playing Left 4 Dead on a slightly older system. And by slightly older, I mean very much older. Left 4 Dead for the NES seems like a zombified RPG which would have been AWESOME back in the early 90s. I would have died for a shoot-em-up ...

7-Foot Throne Made Out of Famicom Cartridges

I’ve debated building a shrine to the NES for years now, but I’ve never actually gotten around to acting on the idea. Spotted over at the Super Potato retro gaming store in Akihabara, Japan, this 7-foot tall throne was made entirely out of Famicom cartridges, creating an apt shrine for the gamer who demands to be the king of his ...

The Queen’s Dirty, Geeky Secret

What happens in Buckingham Palace, stays in Buckingham Palace. How does the Queen keep a lid on her geeky little secret? All she has to do is remind her guests that, technically, she can still order a beheading. Match point! So, now that we actually know what happens behind those palace gates, I’d love to know the Queen mother’s handle. ...

Bomb-Damaged Game Boy Amazingly Still Works

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 ...
