SNES Controller Soap
Digitalsoaps over on Esty has released another controller made out of soap. This soap sports the same shape and color scheme as a real snes controller. Even has the L & R buttons up top. It smells like sandalwood and will cost you 9 bucks plus shipping. Now if only we can get it made on a rope that comes out where the controller cord would be.

This is a video of a SNES Console crammed inside of a toaster, dubbed the "Nintoaster". What game system will be stuffed inside a household appliance next? I'm sure someone in the modding community will up the bar soon. May I suggest a four slice toaster with a SNES and a NES inside?
Snake’s Revenge - Tiger Electronics Handheld
This 1990 LCD hand held Game made by Tiger Electronics somewhat mirrors the Snakes Revenge NES title released the same year. Part of the Tiger Electronics "Game Talk" series in which bits of very simple dialog are inserted into the gaming experience. Commando Nick Myer will call you on your transceiver with hot game hints like; " Tank ahead use a missile!" Or John Turner will call you randomly and ask " Are you Ok? "
The artwork around the LCD screen was pulled from the images found on the NES games Box and Label. The game features 8 stages that will find you fighting enemy soldiers, grenadiers, tanks, Metal Gear 1's and a Metal Gear 2. Stealth game play is replaced with a more run and gun style.

FC Mobile NES Handheld
If you're like me you have some nes games laying around, so the idea of being able to load them into a handheld is definitely appealing. The FC Mobile comes in a few different color combinations. A classic themed Red/White combo and a Silver/Black option. Its an import so the best place to find it is on ebay and a new FC Mobile will set you back $40 -$60 bucks. More after the jump.
