An entire NES crammed into an NES cartridge
Nintendo mods don't get much cooler than this. It's a Super Mario Bros. cartridge from the original NES, and it just so happens to have an entire NES crammed inside of it. Yes, an entire console.
It has the ports for controllers where the old connectors used to be, connections to run it to your TV at the top, and a space for the cartridge to pop into on the flat side where the label is. It's a pretty amazing feat of moddery, one that pretty much one-ups every other retro console mod I've seen. I could see these selling relatively well to hobbyists if they were put up for sale.

Crazy! Really makes ya think 'bout the development in technology during the past 20 years. Insane...

Why not get rid of the cartridge slot on top and just slide a little flash drive inside the case filled with every NES game?

That's pretty cool. Would it need a big paperweight to keep you from pulling it off the shelf when you play?

WOW to say the least i wonder how much that thing would sell for on ebay.

Seems like a waste to me. I'd be more impressed if they could squeeze a Sega Master System or Genesis into a one of their cartridges. Not only would you have the portablity but better graphics.

Hmm, it would seem that the cartridges would not stand up right using just the port, but I could be wrong. Work of genius otherwise. :)
