N5 for Nintendo DS & DS Lite
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Storage, Video Games, USB,
The N5 is an updated version of the R4DS. The second generation storage device supports both Nintendo DS and Lite, needs no booting tool, has a card slot for Micro SD, FAT16 or 32, works by touchscreen or button with auto-detect. It supports rumble pak, memory pak, Moonshell, and has an open I/O interface. Perhaps the best feature is that you can load your cheat codes, not that we agree with that. The 2 x 0.8 x 0.3-inch N5 comes with a TF card reader and application CD and is available for $69.99.

NES Zapper Lamp
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Video Games,
What does one do if she/he still has some of their old Nintendo games and a Zapper gun lying around? In the case of “fluffypants,” you turn them into a lamp. Using an inexpensive lampshade, a pack of fun foam, and a cardboard base designed to look like the original Duck Hunt cartridge, she shows you full instructions to create your own. Maybe next week she will turn other Nes games into coasters or bookcases.

Download it and they will get 75%. The Tuttles are available for both PC and Mac.
The game is a sort of 40-level National Lampoon Vacation with three difficulty levels that finds the family on their way to the Alamo. Voices are provided by celebs such as Bob Saget, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ashley Tisdale, and William Shatner. The Commonsense Media game’s script was written by former SCTV alum Dave Thomas and his Animax Entertainment team.

FC Mobile Console System
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Portable Audio / Video, Video Games,
We have plenty of friends and family who still have their first Nintendo system. Perhaps they just couldn’t get past the Legend of Zelda. You can play those old NES cartridges on the FC Mobile Console System using either its 2.4-inch LCD screen, or by attaching it with the included AV cable to your TV. Audio comes from its eternal stereo speakers or plug in headphones when those around you complain. The system comes in black/silver and red/white at a price of about $45.00, depending on where you shop. We found one for $39.95 on eBay with a random game included.

NES Packed Inside Super Mario Bros. Cartridge
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Video Games,
Recycling doesn’t get much cleverer than this. The folks at Kotomi took an original Nintendo game system and shoved it into a Super Mario Brothers cartridge. If you have ever taken one of them apart, you know that there is not that much to its innards to begin with, but we still applaud this prototype that has a has a finite on/off switch, a reset button, a power Del, 2 joystick ports, a port Famicom cartridge, a video output and stereo audio, and 6V input power.

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Video Games,
Since you move around when you Wii, Thanko, the Lillian Vernon of Japan, has come up with this remote controllable device “of electromotive ascent and descent type large-sized television stand.” Translating the translation, the stand is meant for a screen of 40 to 60-inches, can stop at whatever height you desire, and has casters for portability (that thankfully lock down for those times when you get carried away by the game.)
