Did they stick a Power Joy into the thing? Jeez.

Edit:
Judging from the controller ports, they did!

Screw that noise.

Let's see them fit a PSone inside a disc only copy of Ridge Racer PSX.

Then I'll be impressed.

Muwahaha.

That's really impressive and cool. I want one!

Although now that I think about it, the Game Boy Micro is still more impressive. It plays 16-bit games, has built-in controller buttons, a speaker, and a screen...and is smaller than a credit card!

Impressive. But what would be more impressive is an NES in a Famicom cart.

i think it would be better if it was still a working mario cart.. theres no reason why it couldnt be. also then you could make it use the power from the console its plugged into and for to useful reason run the two nes's in daisy-chain fashion, both running games on seperate screens but using only one power cord.. you could also make a cable to plug it into itself and play mario:P
cool idea.. believe it or not the hardest parts would have been cutting the holes neatly.. the guts of a yobo famiclone would easily fit in a nes cart like that.

i should go one better and make a famicom in a fami cart.. that would be some superior cramming.
anyone got two of a cheap famicom game to donate to the cause? (cant destroy anything i dont have in my collection already) i already have a yobo fami im happy to hack up.

So wait a minute....

If you placed Super Mario Bros. into that thing...would you finally have Mario playing (with) himself?

I'd buy it now that's a compact famiclone :D

I think ol' Ben Heck would be impressed with this.

It would be great if you could get it with an label you want. Like, say, Mega Man 1 famiclone.

The third picture of it hooked up to the computer looks photoshoped. Some thing looks fake with that last one. Also (dumb question) what it Super Mario Bros. 5 -as shown on the screen?

I find this controller mod to be even more cool.

Id like to see them just mod the cart to be the complete package, SMB and NES in one, just plug it into the TV, plug in a controller, and go.

We can take that one step further: Plug your NES controller directly into your TV (and maybe the wall socket).

If it's a "powerjoy" ... then no, it doesn't.

Still that's a very creative mod that put a smile on my very-jaded-by-way-of-collecting-all-manner-of-Famiclone face.

Altho, the idea of the NES cart is cool, but IMHO.. the controller is more amazing than the cart.
