NES System in a Wii Remote Replica

[Zeus]

We've seen a lot of crazy things in our time, but this one perhaps wins first prize. A savvy Nintendo fan took the entire contents of his NES system and re-housed it in a Wii remote replica design. If that wasn't enough he even re routed the controllers to the back of his replica Wii controller. The A/V cords and power adapter plug straight into the new micro NES ;).

Now that's backwards compatability... :D

that dose not appear to be a real nes it looks like its one of those noac based famiclones that are already quite small

a pirate cartridge simaller to the one in the photo is often packaged with them they usually are originally in the shape of an n64 controller and are marketed under names like superjoy or power player and savvy buyers can pick them up for under $10

more people than you think (includeing myself a wile back) like buy a small lcd screen and wire them together + a battery replace and reposition the cart slot with a 32 pin one and bulid a case to make handhelds

I'm not really convinced that it really even works. Not once did I see the a button being pressed to start the game nor did I see the controller controlling the onscreen character. Now I'm not saying that this is impossible ... I fully believe that it can be done but the video does not convince me that this is a working unit. That and being displayed on a monitor over a TV make the use of an emulator possible. I would like to see a more convincing video :)

Just my 2 cents.

^ofcourse its real on with the type of famiclone he used the controller board its connected with a ribbon cable to the main board it would not even require any soldering although from the looks of it he did replace the start and select buttons with tacktal switches (not sure cant realy tell) so he probubley did a little

He obvious used a replica NES, the original NES's PCB is way too big.

BTW. I don't want to know why he needs that kleenex box on his desk :p
