Imagine the lung capacity needed to get games working on this thing! The NES Coffee Table, made by a guy named Matt Borgelt, is a full-on replica of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, complete with a fully-functional extremely over-sized controller. The controller and other various geek paraphernalia is stored inside of the game slot. But Mr. Borgelt didn’t stop with ...

I happen to be one of the few dozen people who haven’t seen Inception yet. I hear it’s quite the mind-trip. Although I usually have a rule that I never, ever play games based on movies under any circumstances, Inception for the NES seems like it would be a rather interesting experience. One element that the NES lacked, like most ...

I was playing Duck Hunt the other day for the first time in around 15 years and it made me realize just how great of game it really was/is. I don’t know if it was just because it played such a big role in my childhood, but the game is just painfully addicting, even without the awesome gun controller (I ...

The Japanese equivalent of our homeland’s NES, the Nintendo Famicom (short for Family Computer) system is no doubt the system that influenced modern Japenese game designers the most during their childhood. Everyone had one. It was like the Dial Soap or the Michael Jackson’s Thriller of the Japanese youth. Famicom made a splash worldwide for the long-lasting effect it would ...

Owww… my childhood. At least he hasn’t moved on to designer mushrooms. I had an idea that Mario was a dealer. But a user? I knew not. It’s that pesky Luigi that got him into this mess. I just know it. I know it was you, Luigi. You broke my heart. Link

So romantic. All we need are a few candles, a robot or two and a few Hot Pockets and it’d be a perfect date night for any of my lucky lady friend. Not to mention they get to hang out with me, the sexiest geek in the world as voted on by the employees of Gearfuse. (Note: of the two ...

The Japanese surely love their Super Mario Bros. We’ve seen renditions inspired by the more feudal days of Asian culture, but yet the culture clash continues. This time around the Mushroom Kingdom has been anime-tized. Basically, if Super Mario and Pokemon switched places in some parallel universe, this would likely be the result. This concept might not have been too ...

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.
