Portable SNES Plays Star Fox Classic

By Jorge Ba-oh 03.04.2008 7

A funky modded polycase holds a sweet portable SNES and is seen running the classic Star Fox (Starwing).

The sweet modded SNES devised by a Ben Heck forum user runs off a pair of lithium-ion batteries, has a 5-inch LCD screen and brings picture perfect action in a slightly clunky but gorgeous unit.

Thanks to GoNintendo and Engadget.

Cool enough, I like the fact it has a second controller port.


OT: (PM)

If anyone has a PSP and wants to try out the God Of War:CoO Demo just PM me. I have one spare as they sent me two copies.

The GBA is a 32bit console where as the SNES was a 16bit console, therefore if the GBA didn't have a set polygon limit, and limited cartridge media, it could've done the same as the PSX.

So really, This is a great piece of machinery, cos it's an actal portable SNES.

I'm slowly starting to open up my N64s, and I'm starting to like the idea of modding them just for a laugh. I'll post results if I ever do. Though Nintendo could make a portable SNES the size of a coin if they wanted to, it's amazing this guy got it that small with the original components!
