super nintendo handheld: 16-bits of portable paradise

November 10th, 2008 comments (3) stumble it! digg it! by: technabob

Call me a sucker for old school gaming, but the Super Nintendo (SNES) has always been one of my favorite consoles. This custom-built handheld brings back those classic gaming memories.

Perfect for the occasional on-the-road game of Super Mario World or Star Fox, this portable SNES was put together by retro modder Kotomi, who’s earlier work includes the great NES in a cartridge mod.

It’s a really clean build job, echoing the design of the original Super Nintendo console and gamepad, only with a nice big LCD screen smack dab in the middle. The cartridge slips nicely into the back of the portable, making it about the most streamlined SNES portable I’ve seen.

Great job, Kotomi!

    I think this is a great gift for game addicted 5 year olds…sheesh. The new Motorola Krave (motorola.com/krave) is also a good gift idea for the holiday season! It has a clear flip screen that makes it easy to access pictures, MP3’s and even GPS system!

    Did you make this with a mini or regular SNES?
