Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Holy Crap! Portable N64!

I want one. Really, really badly. That's amazing.

If I made one, I'd probably try to also build-in rumble, and maybe still work in secondary controller plugs, as well as video/audio out. Too bad I don't know enough about building these things. :(

 

ALTHOUGH, since the analog on an N64 controller is a separate piece inside, it can rather easily be relocated. So I'd probably use an ordinary N64 controller, as well as a different battery system, which would effectively cut costs.

Different batteries could effectively cut battery prices by 50% if shopped right (note: would have to remember to use high-life batteries because the N64 system would draw much more power than an ordinary handheld), and an ordinary N64 controller would cost $45-$55 less (depending on where you'd get your Hori Mini Pad).

Other supplies (epoxy, paint, abs) could also be better shopped for, and that would also cut costs significantly.

 

I could probably build one of these for $150, although with my inferior skills, it very possibly wouldn't come out as well.

Ben heck is a sick man, he does a work with a lot of other mods as well.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Here's another one mentioned on Engadget, called the L64, but I can't find the original site. The Digg article that mentioned it originally links to an inactive site.

Guys, it has to be big. You're fitting an entire Nintendo 64's motherboard inside it, as well as a controller.

I would want one!
