NES cartridges make awesome external hard drives
August 30th, 2009

NES cartridges make awesome external hard drivesThanks to all of the modders out there, you never really know what an object is. Take this one. Looks like an old NES cartridge. It is, but it’s also an external hard drive. Until now, hard drives have not looked cool, but now you can have one in any NES cartridge you like.

Etsy seller 8-Bit Memory takes old NES cartridges, stuffs a hard drive inside and just like that you have a cool external drive. It will cost you $120 for 250GB, but he will make any size for you and with any cartridge. For an extra fee. What game would you choose? Contra? Street Fighter?

Mega Man 2 Bubble Man Room
May 29th, 2008

Mega Man room
This is obviously the bedroom of a Mega Man fan who painted it to look like Bubble Man’s level from Mega Man 2. How awesome is that? If you were Mega Man trapped in this room, you could play the whole damn level.

The guy who did it is a Mega Man freak who not only paints his walls, he does covers of Mega Man songs. Here is his Myspace page.

If you love Mega Man so much why don’t you marry him? Get a room already. Oh…that’s right he did.

Kid Icarus Coming To Wii?
May 12th, 2008

Kid Icarus Coming To Wii?
Kid Icarus is one of the coolest games ever made. If you’ve never played it you never had an NES. Pit is an angel who has been trapped in the Underworld. He’s given a magical bow by Palutena, Goddess of Light, to help destroy Medusa, Goddess of Darkness, and restore peace to the world. Pit is awesome.

There are rumors that Kid Icarus is going to be revived.

The artwork we’ve published comes from a pitch document we got our hands on in the early part of 2008. Since then, sources have told us the game’s artwork has advanced considerably. Despite this artwork not being reflective of the game’s current standing, we’ve decided to share it so fans can get a look at what Factor 5 has experimented with.

The last nugget of information we have to share with you is in regards to the game’s plot. At the time of the document’s writing, Factor 5 had imagined a plot starring a grown-up, adult Pit, who is “cursed for thousands of years for a crime and becomes a ‘fallen angel.’” The pitch adds that “a tattoo on Pit’s arm bears the inscription of Pit’s crime.”
