Super Genintari combines NES, SNES, Genesis and Atari systems into one

Super Genintari combines NES, SNES, Genesis and Atari systems into one photo
     retro

I... I don't know what to say. There's this big-assed box that accepts cartridges from the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Atari 2600. It's kind of ugly, it's larger than an Xbox, and it sports a backlit Pac-Man as an on/off switch. My mind is blown.

Richard DaLuz took the motherboards of all four systems and crammed them into this see-through box. He tells Gizmodo that he used the innards of the toploading NES and SNES, a model 3 Sega Genesis, and an Atari Flashback 2. Rest in Peace, Genesis 3 and SNES 2. *sobs* Each of the four game cartridges can run simultaneously, and can be selected via push-button switches. DaLuz says that he has been working on this project since 2002.

I like that the output signals are all combined into one set of A/V cables. I love that there's only one power cable, and it's not a wall wart. I don't love the retro casing. Get a better look at the Super Genintari in the video after the jump.

What do you think about this thing? Is it retro-cool or just awkward? Where's my Master System slot?

Erm, quite the character that fellow is... :S

Definitely a cool project though. Big it may be, but it is smaller than having all four systems, and a heck of a lot simpler. :)

I would say use a Genesis->Master System converter, but he used a genny 3 the only one that won't accept it.

it's much cooler to have the originals. props to this guy for taking so much time out of his life to pursue this, though something tells me he didn't have much of a life to begin with.

I know that this will fall under the "if you can do it better, then DO it" category, but I don't see why the heck it took him 6 years to make this. It's a case mod attached to a source switcher. Hell, I might do one now just because I don't like how this one looks, and I'm pretty sure that even with my 'busy' schedule, it'd be completed within a 6 month time frame. Could probably be done in ONE month with a consistent work schedule on it.

Relocating load slots, tying together power supplies, and strapping on a source selector = easy to moderate mod.

The only hurdle to it would be parting with the in-tact systems. I don't feel like parting out my Nintendo shrine to make a Super Ninwiicube 64.

Very nice, but I wouldn't have gone with tinted plastic for the case. The Pac-Man power/reset buttons were a sweet touch.

For serious.

Also, he seems like a bit of a douche. His voice suggests a local radio DJ... and extreme douchitude.
