I think Nintendo should look into this. Use old cartridge and make something useful. LOL

That's badass. Is it battery powered or is there some power source I don't notice? Also, is it just StarTropics (not that StarTropics is a bad game)?
EDIT: Having read the source info, I should have figured it was one of those NES-on-a-chip type things. Still wondering about powering it up, though.

Here is a link I found.. it is battery-powered. It is basically a media player that can play nes roms and has a 4gb mem chip.

That is amazing. I would love to own one in a black Tengen case and one in a Color Dreams case. Very cool!

one in a Color Dreams case.
Really? I always thought that those light blue cases were ugly as sin. Though if you're talking about their black cases then they're not too bad.

I wonder how he connects a Game Genie?
I don't think this is a playable "console". There's no place to insert a cartridge, and there's no 72 pin connector. Maybe this just plays roms.
EDIT: Just read the article. It plays roms.

If I had the skills and patence, I'd want to make one of these. It's just too awesome for words...
