News - Random: So, Someone Made A Portable SNES Out Of… A SNES - xSicKxBot - 11-20-2019 Random: So, Someone Made A Portable SNES Out Of… A SNES <div><div class="media_block"><a href="http://images.nintendolife.com/9f84203e2d2e9/large.jpg"><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/9f84203e2d2e9/small.jpg" class="media_thumbnail"></a></div> <div><img src="http://images.nintendolife.com/9f84203e2d2e9/1280x720.jpg" class="ff-og-image-inserted"></div> <p>Over the past few years, we’ve seen hackers and modders create some pretty impressive pieces of hardware based on existing classic systems. <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/04/heres_a_rather_attractive_portable_nintendo_64">Portable N64s</a>, <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/01/video_this_pocket-sized_portable_plays_gamecube_and_wii_games">GameCubes</a> and even <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/05/random_play_your_wii_u_anytime_anywhere_with_this_fan-made_playable_coat">Wii Us</a> have come and gone, each one trying to turn a beloved platform into something subtly different.</p> <p>This latest venture is one of the most eye-catching yet, but we’re not <em>entirely</em> sure if we like it or hate it. A talented modder has used the shell of a Super Famicom (SNES to you and me) and turned it into a portable console, complete with controls and screen.</p> <p>The Super Famicom pad is fused into the middle of the machine, just below the screen. The carts slot into the top of the unit. It looks a bit like a Frankenstein’s monster, but in console form.</p> <aside class="object object-tweet"> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p><span lang="en" dir="ltr">On one hand, I’m sad they gut a SFC for this. <br />On the other hand, I’m very impressed with the craftsmanship. <a href="https://t.co/SUVNk0gEIQ">https://t.co/SUVNk0gEIQ</a></span>— 霧亥-コボルド (Kirii-Kobold) (@KoboldJager) <a href="https://twitter.com/KoboldJager/status/1196817550362972165?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 19, 2019</a></p></blockquote> </aside> <p>While it’s also not going to win any awards for portability, you’ve got to take your hat off to the people who do these crazy things.</p> <p><em>Thanks to <a class="external" href="https://twitter.com/mrsidc64?lang=en">Sam Dyer</a> for the tip!</em></p> </div> https://www.sickgaming.net/blog/2019/11/19/random-so-someone-made-a-portable-snes-out-of-a-snes/ |
