NES cart becomes NES system

If you don't think this is awesome, you should have the nearest human being check you for a pulse. French modder Kotomi, who you might recall made some pretty awesome DS and Wii-based stuff, has put his skills to the test and managed to fit the guts of a NES into a Super Mario Bros. cartridge. Pretty impressive, if we may say so.

But, Kotomi, buddy, pal, couldn't you have gone with a game that was, oh, a bit crappier? Sure, Super Mario Bros. is a fairly common NES game, we get that, but if it were us, we'd probably find the worst NES game we could and rip the innards out of that. It sure would be satisfying to rip out the guts of a crappy NES game. But, hey, that's just us.

Cartridge clock pulls us back in time

Have any old NES carts lying around that you're not using? If you can possibly spare to sacrifice one to a greater (or lesser, depending on your opinion) cause, this might be a fun project: the NES cart clock. Of course, if you're not up to a little DIY project, you can pick this one up at Etsy, courtesy of seller GeekGear. While we can't decide of Days of Thunder is a good choice for hanging on the wall or propping up on a nightstand, we can certainly think of a few NES games that might make good craft projects ....

Alex Mauer's Vegavox album: Now available on NES

Go ahead and toss all your CD's in the garbage, along with your SACD's, audio DVD's, cassettes, LP's, EP's, 45's, 8-tracks, DAT's, Minidiscs, wax cylinders, and player piano rolls. Crush the pile down a little and throw your fancy MP3 player on top. All of that stuff just became embarrassingly obsolete, and we don't want you to appear foolish. There's a new format in town: the NES cartridge.

Alex Mauer is a prolific chiptune artist who has made music with the NES, C64, Sega Master System, and Ad Lib sound chips, among others, and for his latest work, Vegavox, he's really done something special. The only way to get the album of original NES-based music is on an NES cartridge.

If you need us, we'll be installing an NES cartridge slot in our car. And, of course, by "installing" we mean "cramming."

Wii Warm Up: Do you miss cartridges?

Sure, discs are the complete end-all, be-all in a lot of ways. Games have gotten bigger since graduating from cartridges, and that's all well and fine. But there's just one thing we miss: the freedom to be completely unconcerned about how we treated our games. Don't worry -- most of the time, we're really careful. Games are sacred, after all. But it was nice when, in a moment of frustration, you could pop out a game and literally toss it aside. Also, scratches can cripple a disc, but the worst that ever happened with most of our original NES games was that we had to blow 'em out every now and then. It was a simpler time.

Do you ever miss it?

Tummy rumblin' NES cartridge hits Ebay

Made from only the finest Austrian chocolate and 1 out of 3 available in the world, this milk chocolate NES cartridge looks like a Nintendo fanboy's Easter basket dream. Weighing in at about 7 ounces, the current highest bid is $41.00 USD at the time of this post. Looks delicious, but is it worth the cost?

If you bought it, would you plan on eating it or displaying it? More pictures have been embedded past the post break.

Don't trip over that cartridge!

The above shoe is, obviously, not available for purchase in stores or via the vast series of tubes we know are the internet. This makes us sad as their is nothing we'd like more to protect out feet while we're out stomping about in the wide, dangerous world. Kudos to the artist responsible for the above shoe and we ask if he/she could possibly make another pair, maybe in a size 11?
