FC Mobile Portable NES takes a page from the modder book, adds some janky

A design masterpiece in the line of the Wooden Portable NES this certainly is not, but it's fun to see a manufacturer taking seriously the concept of portable classic cartridge gaming, and what better place to start than the NES? The FC Mobile Portable could very well be a rebadge of something or another, and there's obviously no telling how legitimate this eBay auction is -- so proceed at your own risk -- but we know we've certainly squandered $50 on much less noble pursuits than old school portable gaming.

This is seriously painful.

[YoMomma @ Apr 28th 2008 12:30PM]

but will it play Doom?

[Pochi @ Apr 28th 2008 12:32PM]

Holy SHIT.

Too bad the NES cartridges are bigger than the handheld. I wish that it played ROMs instead. The controls look better than on the typical device of this nature.

Gee some people are stupid enouth that they wish these things can allow you cummit such vile evil as piracy .

What's up with the convex vertical AB button position? ergonomic it might be, but dangit, it would be nice to develop that mid-thumb callus again...

[dan2600 @ Apr 28th 2008 12:38PM]

Does it have the original sound circuit? this would be great for using something like midiNES on the road...as long as they used the 2A03 APU sound chip i would buy this.

Sweet jesus, look at how thick that thing is from that side shot on the right. I'd say that gives the original xbox controller a run for it's money

[TavisJohn @ Apr 28th 2008 1:01PM]

I would really like to get one of these... If it was not only available on e-bay...

Oh well.

I don't understand why so many people always look at gadgets like these and make the comments like, "I wish it played roms!"

Get an old used gameboy advance and a pass cart and load it up with all the old NES games! That's way better than any of these gadgets!

[Geir E @ Apr 28th 2008 2:10PM]

or nintendo ds with card. it also do supernintendo (with some cutting) and gba.

beside, tons of such that take roms. just search for nes portable

It looks like they stole the D-pad from a PlayStation controller.

[Nixontech2071 @ Apr 28th 2008 7:28PM]

Can you say Game.Com? I was thinking, Oh this is a great handheld! Oh wait, it looks like aa game.com...

[Mark @ Apr 29th 2008 2:17AM]

[rcon303 @ May 5th 2008 6:37PM]
