Man, the classic, brick-sized Nintendo Game Boy sure gets a lot of love in the modding/hacking community. Like that retro-tacular iPhone case we showed you a few days ago. Or this Game Boy that someone managed to shove a 80GB SATA hard drive into.
A user from the MaxConsole forums, going by the handle _n3o_ (get it?),…

Sure, the iPhone is cool and all, but it’s awfully slick and modern. Oh, if only it were a little more brick-shaped and didn’t have all those pesky colors in the screen. Monochrome, that’s what I want… monochrome, and a good game of Tetris. Clearly, I am not alone: observe the Game Boy iPhone case.

Saddened over the loss of the GBA slot in Nintendo’s new DSi? Fret not, young gamer; if this particular rumor bears sweet, juicy fruit, you just may be able to download all those old Nintendo handheld games via the DSiWare service–or at least some of them.

Sighted at last week’s Ohayocon 2009 in Columbus, Ohio, some dude went all out with this life size Nintendo Game Boy costume that’s actually playable.
The cardboard Game Boy shell is a little janky, but the wearer deserves mad props for the fully-functional Game Boy emulator, running Tetris on a laptop screen. You can see it…
