NES Cube

from the same guy who brought you the NES DS, here is a NEScube a combo of a Gamecube and a NES,
The Memory cards plug in where the Controller Ports were on the NES, the Gamecube Controller ports are in the lid. The original NES LED works, and so does the Power and Reset button! The switch to turn the laser on and off is on the back

5 new mods


i have been really lazy lately and here are 5 new mods to the site

NEStation

The NES is definitely one of the most popular consoles to mod. Over the last year we've seen a number of things like an NES turned into a PC, and NES DVD player, and much more. However kotami, one of France's (if not one of the world's) premier console hackers has put together a spectacular NES mod.

NES Funky Flash Cart


No more blowing on the contacts to get games to work, simply build this and you can play bubble bath babes without having to pay anything, with roms that is.

PowerGlove mouse

The myth and lore surrounding the Nintendo Power Glove can only be matched by its monumental failure. The most geeky NES peripheral ever was launched with an amount of hype that would make the Y2K bug jealous. However, the Powerglove was doomed from the start. It required too much overhead (with the frame you had to wrap around the screen of your tv), lacked proper functionality and had terrible game support. Within a year of its birth, most Powergloves were relegated to boxes in dissapointed childrens’ basements. What was launched in commercials with Tom Cruise look-a-likes and had cameos in the hottest movies is now spending its golden years with R.O.B. in the NES graveyard - but no more. The time has come to bring new life into our old friend and to welcome him back as a productive member of society with the ‘Powerglove Mouse’.
