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.

French game modder Kotomi has just the solution for you.

He’s taken a Super Nintendo console and smashed it down into the case of a Nintendo Wii . The appropriately named “Nii” console looks just like a Wii, but instead of Wii discs, you plug your classic Super Nintendo cartidges right into the front, and control them with a Wii Classic Controller. I especially like the blue LED ring around the SNES cartridge slot. Great job, Kotomi!
