Have you ever ever checked out a Nintendo DS and thought it could be cooler if the highest display was changed with a Sport Boy Advance SP? Or have a look at the Tremendous Nintendo controller and want it had a GBA SP display fastened to the again? Whether or not you personal one or not, {hardware} modder Hairo Satoh (aka Retrohai hai Softbank) is right here to deliver you some really damning reimaginings of Nintendo’s moveable consoles. (Assume again to their moveable analog PlayStation constructed into the Takara wheel controller.)
Let’s take a little bit journey by Satoh’s Instagram account. Earlier than we get into my favourite variations of Nintendo handhelds (“frankententos,” if you’ll), know that Satoh has additionally completed some fairly nifty customized work on the corporate’s numerous moveable consoles. And they’re made to order.
This one they not too long ago launched is a good instance.We’re known as Clear Case Stan right here edge, however this one goes a step additional with its colourful holographic stickers and ChromaFlair-style color-changing gloss. Oh, and it could additionally run Sport Boy Advance video games.
The controller mod I discussed above is not the one time Sato has turned a console gaming controller into his personal handheld pc. The GBA SP’s display seems excellent on an SNES (effectively, technically a Tremendous Famicom) pill…
….and the PS2 Twin Shock controller.
However why not put it on the Nintendo DS Lite too? It simply would not make sense, and although this can be a mashup of two of probably the most compelling items of {hardware} Nintendo has ever made, I do not want any justification for this factor’s existence. And, that is the place issues begin to get a little bit cursed.
I am guessing this can be a Nintendo DS too?
Once more, however extra colourful.
Ah, sure, the unique Sport Boy Advance SP DS (OGBASPDS).
I am fascinated by the idea of the multi-position adjustable display on this unique DS.
Give me this and the flexibility to emulate an incredible vertical scrolling shooter turtledove, please.
Ah, sure, that is smart.
I am unable to say I perceive the additional buttons and D-pad right here, however I respect the confusion.
Nintendo Longboy DS.
I believe this is perhaps the ultimate boss of Sato’s artistic creation.
Sato did not get again to us after we reached out, however we might like to know extra about these creations. How a lot of it’s made up of customized {hardware}? How a lot of that is imitating Nintendo’s handheld, fairly than repurposing its unique {hardware} parts to swimsuit? If we hear again, we’ll dig additional.
