Mod time: N64 into a Game Gear
Thank goodness for modders, Without them we wouldn't be able to take one awkwardly shaped gaming system and cram it into another one in order to make it portable. Case in point is this mod from Evil Nod where he has placed a Nintendo 64 inside a Game Gear. Years ago I would have made a Sega/Nintendo wars joke here, but with Sonic all over the Wii and DS the time for jokes like that has clearly passed. What is truly impressive is that the thing is entirely portable. Not content with simply cramming the N64 inside the Game Gear, Evil Nod also worked in the N64's controller as well to create an entirely contained system that he calls the N Gear 64. Sadly, the Game Gear, my portable of choice as a child, is still a massive hunk of plastic and shoving a N64 cartridge into definitely doesn't make it any sleeker. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Sure it may be 20 pounds and ugly as sin, BUT IT'S STILL A PORTABLE NINTENDO 64!!
Oh to see the Nintendo 64 kid's face now... Excellent. This one comes fairly easy to mod too, with others costing upwards of 200 becks. I'd very much like to play those N64 games again... Damn you Rare. OH MY GOD. Why does he not use his right thumb to press the face buttons in the video!? That drove me crazier than it probably should have. Haha.
Cool, though. this has to be pointless, hell the original game gear chomped through batteries like pacman on crack; I'd hate to think what the battery life would be on this thing. The only thing I'd change is I'd spin the cartridge slot around so that you can see the game's label while you are playing. 9:34 AM on 05.17.2013 Nintendo Direct: More Game Gear titles coming to 3DSIt appears as if more Game Gear games will be hitting the 3DS eShop in the coming months, as Nintendo has revealed a ton of info in regards to a partnership with Sega that involves not only retro games, but new ones as well. ...
