zim and zou’s paper game boy won’t let you play, but still looks cool

paper game boy nintendo zim and zou

This colorful Game Boy isn’t really an customized old school Nintendo Game Boy. Nah. It’s actually completely made out of paper! Well, it sure fooled me.

When I first saw this, I tried to remember if they ever came out with a Game Boy in these colors. I seem to remember that there were…

nintendo filed patent for touch screen steering wheel: cool or stupid?

nintendo_ds_steering_wheel_patent

I don’t own a Nintendo DS, so this time I’m not being sarcastic: DS owners, do you think controlling vehicles on your portable would be more fun if you had a virtual steering wheel? Because it seems that Nintendo thinks that it’s a great idea: the company filed a patent for a “Driving Game…

on ebay: nintendo cereal system sealed while fresh!

Nintendo cereal system

…but it’s definitely not fresh anymore, because it was made in 1988. It really is sealed though, and contains two types of cereals – Super Mario and Zelda – which you would be wise to not eat. I’d rather skip breakfast than eat 22-year old cereal.

It won’t be up for auction much longer,…

wii fit + wii sports + ddr – fun = ifit sports

ifit_sports

I’m reasonably certain this game is not Wii Fit or Wii Sports. Actually, I’m sure of it. Apparently another cheap Chinese knock-off, the makers of ifit Sports want us to think it’s a combination Nintendo’s popular sports and workout games. Good luck with all that.

StarQ’s ifit Sports sells for 280 yuan (appx. $41…

wii classic controller pro in black

A confession: I do not like Nintendo’s Wii. I do not like to waggle, I do not like to daggle. Wii is only fun, for me, when I am playing with the Wiimote held horizontally (like in Punch-Out!! and New Super Mario Bros. Wii) or when I am playing with the Classic Controller (even…

modder crams iphone into game boy advance

game boy nintendo iphone

No, you aren’t hallucinating. A Japanese modder managed to cram an iPhone into a Game Boy Advance – and I kind of like it, albeit in a sort of retro kind of way.

This is the perfect combination for someone who loves their iPhone as much as playing their Game Boy.
