Modder Builds Portable Version of Super Nintendo Entertainment System

by Thomas Houston on April 2, 2008 at 01:01 PM

Yearning for the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo 16-bit glory days of console-based video gaming? Brian Henderson modified the guts of a Super Nintendo (SNES) system to run in a handheld plastic shell complete with speakers, AV out, a 5-inch display and a "Player 2" port for multi-player fun.

The only downside seems to be that the "SNESp" requires the physical SNES game cartridge. There aren't any plans for production, but we can't help thinking way back to the early '90s and afternoons spent playing classics like the original Mario Kart, Super Metroid, Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

Call up Nntendo and see if they could mass-produce this product. I'd by one.

I HAVE A NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM, 64, WHICH I HAD REPLACPED, A FEW YEARS AGO, AND NOT REALLY PLAYED THAT OFTEN ( I THINK ) BUT NO MATTER WHAT GAME CARTRIDGE I TRY TO BUT IN, THERE SEEMS TO BE A DIFFERENT REACTION, TO THE DIFFERENT GAMES I PUT IN IT,I TRY CLEANING, AND CLEANING IT, AND THEN SOMETIMES THE GAME WOULD WORK, THEN STOP, AND THEN TRY A DIFFERENT GAME CARTRIDGE AND NOTHING AT ALL., SO WHAT I AM TRYYING TO ASK YOU IS IT THE GAME PLAYER ? , OR IS IT THE GAME CARTRIDGES, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP PLAYING THESE OLD GAMES MYSELF BEAUSE I LIKE THESE OLD GAMES I USED TO PLAY AS A KID , AND ONLY AM INTERRSTED IN THESE OLD GAMES, I DON'T LIKE ANY OF THE NEW GAMES AND PROBABLY COUNTN 'T PLAY IT ANYWAY. SO IN CLOSING I UNSTAND THAT THEY HAVE THE WII , BUT I DON' 'T LIKE THE IDEAL THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE OLD NINTENDO 64's AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE AROUND $ 5-10 DOLLARS A GAME, THEN I SAW THAT SOME STORES SELL A WHOLE GAME SYSTEM, THAT GOT LIKE 111 OLD GAMES ON THEM, PUT HEART SOME RUMORS, THAT THEY ARE ILLEALER, SO I WOULD LIKE YOUR ADVISE ON THIS SUBJECT. THANK YOU .WWF CHAMP BOB BACKLUND
