Super Nintendo cartridge wallet: you probably want this

Sure, it might be a little more cumbersome than your current billfold -- but whatever -- this is awesome. This SNES cartridge has been modded so that it holds a photo ID on the front plate, but it's also been gutted of its internals and outfitted with a hinge so that there's storage space on the inside. Oh, and it's got an LED that can be powered on and off, plus it plays game music / noises! Crazy, right? Well, it's slightly complicated to build one of your own, but Instructables has the details, should you want to give it a whirl. Ask yourself this: what better way is there to spend New Year's Day?

no bueno

Awesome post to start the new year. I think I'll head over to the local mall to find an old SNES game now... or, well when it opens, lol.

Happy New Year Engadget!

[linderman @ Jan 1st 2009 3:16AM]

I just want to be among the first to wish my fellow Engadgeteers a very happy and healthy New Year!

[Uncontrol @ Jan 1st 2009 3:19AM]

probably not

[A.C.E.R. @ Jan 1st 2009 3:21AM]

If you're getting laid too much and it's interfering with your schedule just get one of these!

[waiownsyou @ Jan 1st 2009 3:33AM]

I'm pretty sure it's what in your wallet rather than what kind of wallet that gets you laid. And even then, hookers are usually at the same price range regardless of your style.

[Foogooo @ Jan 1st 2009 3:58AM]

Well where I live, that is guarenteed to get you laid!

[Messymeese @ Jan 1st 2009 3:29AM]

Heh, I live in Franklin, TN.
I also pass O'More college all the time.















Where can I ge tan NES wallet?

[Messymeese @ Jan 1st 2009 3:30AM]

"ge tan"
The one time I don't proof-read my post!

[Brent Schmidt @ Jan 1st 2009 4:58AM]

If you ever see Haley Williams from Paramore around town, tell her I'm single now. kthx.

[Dax Cruz @ Jan 1st 2009 3:30AM]

Nice. Geeky, but nice.

[Messymeese @ Jan 1st 2009 3:33AM]

I order you to replace "but" with "and"!

[allislost @ Jan 1st 2009 4:03AM]

... then add "but" after "nice"!

[Dax Cruz @ Jan 1st 2009 5:21AM]

"Nice. Geeky, AND nice."
Or is it "Nice. Geeky, AND nice, but...."
Or "AND Nice. Geeky, AND nice, but...."
Or "...BUT Nice. Geeky, AND nice, but...."
Or "...BUT Nice. Geeky, AND nice..."

DUDES, WTH!?!?!?!?!?!

>:D

Jeeze, feels like I'm in a bus filled with "ARE WE THERE YET?" kids...

[ED @ Jan 1st 2009 6:27AM]

Or: "Geeky, and nice butt"

[CJ @ Jan 1st 2009 8:42AM]

@Dax Cruz

You are, welcome to Engadget. Remember, our short bus has a long wi-fi range!

[JerseyBricklayer @ Jan 1st 2009 4:13AM]

Do want !

[AlDeezy @ Jan 1st 2009 4:14AM]

seriously, this goes to far, lol. no one will ever get laid carrying around this thing, which is something I don't get any of.

[Brent Schmidt @ Jan 1st 2009 5:01AM]

AlDeezy, Comment up for better luck in 2009

[waiownsyou @ Jan 1st 2009 5:17AM]

Protip: The more you're worried about how women think of you and whether you'll get laid or not is more likely to get you not laid. Just be yourself. Also, cocks.

[AJ in the East Bay @ Jan 1st 2009 5:19AM]

Happy New Year, everyone!!

[metal @ Jan 1st 2009 5:21AM]

dude should photoshop his personal info out.

just sayin

[Brent @ Jan 1st 2009 6:16AM]

These replies are just full of win...

same goes for Coke & Smirnoff.... soooooo good.


Ummm yes.

[CJ @ Jan 1st 2009 8:44AM]

God, such a wimp.

You're mixing your vodka with other LIQUIDS? Man, weet-bix and vodka, breakfast of champions!

[Samo @ Jan 1st 2009 9:22AM]

@CJ: No that's not called breakfast of champions, that's called the breakfast of ALCOHOLICS!

I physically shivered when I read your post... Flashbacks of days working behind a bar!

[Gnoll @ Jan 1st 2009 7:44AM]

The drawback is that you're going to have to carry a purse to put this big of a wallet in...that kind of does the opposite of what you want.

[CJ @ Jan 1st 2009 8:45AM]

This'll go GREAT with the shoulder-bag I made out of an old, bricked, hollowed out SNES.

Oh shit, I just realised, I've got a dedicated wallet slot now!

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Jan 1st 2009 9:03AM]

A better way to spend today is the way I am spending today.


HUNG OVER!!


Well maybe not better but...

[Arkenklo @ Jan 1st 2009 12:06PM]

How many diskettes will it hold?

[Jingly Dingaling @ Jan 1st 2009 12:10PM]

greatness.

[Justin P. Reese @ Jan 1st 2009 12:47PM]

Say, uh, can we get a Sega Genesis wallet, too? Those were smaller, and actually roughly the size of wallets!

:D

[Jefflered @ Jan 1st 2009 12:47PM]

Watching the Winter Classic.

[jinsei888 @ Jan 1st 2009 1:19PM]

this is not "awesome", engadget. This is stupid.

[Skyride @ Jan 1st 2009 6:47PM]

This article was posted by a female. This female will naturally have friends. Gentlemen, I believe we may have just spotted a first.

[nintendogeekmom @ Jan 2nd 2009 12:06AM]

The dude who made that wallet is my son. To answer questions...

it does fit in his wallet and I believe he is getting laid.

Just saying.

[nintendogeekmom @ Jan 2nd 2009 12:08AM]

I mean it fits in his pocket.

[R @ Jan 2nd 2009 2:42AM]

few days ago at work when buying my lunch the female co worker liked my NES wallet and asked where I got it then we started talking how awesome the 1980's TMNT were.

It's ok to be a Geek these days.
