Random: So, Someone Made A Portable SNES Out Of… A SNES

<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>

<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>
