Blast from the gaming past
While the gaming world at large is buzzing with the launch of the Nintendo Switch this weekend, an enterprising modder has added portability to one of the gaming giant’s classic consoles of the past.
A Twitter user going by the handle @huxarufaxara has put together an ingenious mod of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), or Super Famicom as it was known in Japan, turning it into a portable contraption you can hold in your hands.
There’s a controller and LCD screen embedded into the unit, as well as a custom-made cartridge slot for loading all your vintage games (this was a long time before eShops on the internet, remember).
