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?

It would same me some space!
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. :)
lulululul
Seriously, stop acting like a bag of douche.
Other than it's creator, I really like that brown abomination.
If it's not for sale I will steal it.
Dude, I'd buy that just to support this guy's evil genius!
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.
Also, do you still have to blow in the NES slot?
I just watched the attached vid and I see WHY this thing sucks. It was made by a dumbass.
See what I did there?
And I must have it.
But of Course Its a Genesis 3 so Thats a No
Models 1 and 2 could uses those
For serious.
Also, he seems like a bit of a douche. His voice suggests a local radio DJ... and extreme douchitude.
