Do you remember the Super Game Boy? Basically it was an official modded cartridge from Nintendo that allowed you to play your Game Boy games on the big screen of your TV, right through your SNES system. Nintendo Age forum user and creator of this awesome mod bunnyboy describes his gadget as “basically the Super Game Boy, without the Super ...

For those of us who were raised during the 80s and 90s, Duck Hunt brings back memories of hours of pointing a gun at our televisions. If you grew up during the peak years of the NES, Duck Hunt was the coolest thing on the market, one of the only games at the time that had a dedicated peripheral. But ...

When it comes down to it, I never quite “got over” my original NES console. No matter what system I might play for a few months or even years, and trust me, I’ve played quite a few different consoles in my day, I always come back to the original. Maybe it has something to do with the memories of comfort ...

How many peeks of geekery has� their been in Gearfuse’s history? More than necessary. What was I thinking anyway? My actions could have been made exponentially geekier ...

It takes some serious skill to even play this two-handed, but this dude went as far as arranging Koji Kondo’s Super Mario Bros. theme to be played one-handed. I just don’t have the patience or the hand-eye coordination to sit down and learn how to play the piano, but if I could, you bet the one song I would play ...

As a guitar playing geek, there is little more enduring than a guitar made to celebrate a gaming console, unless of course we’re talking about a steampunk-inspired guitar, because then, Famicom might just be shit out of luck. Wait a sec. Who says ...

If you’re getting sick of washing your kids’ mouth out with Gmail, maybe it’s time to make a soap switch. This NES Controller Soap is just as geeky, perhaps even more so, than the Gmail soap. And while it probably doesn’t taste nearly as good as Beer Soap, that would sort of be the point. Shipping in packs of four, ...

Nintendo really sort of lost it with that GameCube controller. Eight buttons? Not even counting the sticks or the control pad. Was that really necessary? With the Wii, Nintendo took us back to their simpler hey-day. It’s too bad the console is such shit. But in the Wii’s defense, the new Wii Super Mario Bros. game is a saving grace. ...
