Bacteria's back with portable Nintendo 64, complete how-to guide

The quest to build the perfect portable Nintendo 64 continues, but we imagine we'll stop seeing so many disparate designs soon. That's not because Bacteria's latest bulbous handheld has achieved perfection -- far from it -- but rather because he's provided a 2.5-hour, step-by-step video guide to help you build it from the ground up. And hey, the system isn't too shabby, either. The "iNto64" portable features integrated Controller, Rumble and Expansion Paks for complete N64 functionality, built-in speakers and a headphone jack, rechargeable batteries for up to three hours of play, even a video-out port if you get tired of staring at the ubiquitous 5-inch Sony PSone LCD. The only obvious oversight is controller ports for more inputs -- seems our buddy Bacteria wasn't a big fan of GoldenEye. See it play some of N64's other best games after the break, while we dust off our gamebit screwdriver. Obvious though it may seem, know what you're getting into before you do likewise; ripping up classic cart-based consoles isn't for the faint of heart.

Banjo Kazooie?

@Pearl Jam

You are right, Rare is good. Donkey Kong 64, Banjoe Kazooie 1 + 2.
If only Nintendo could get that stuff back for Wii.

@SuperModified lol, that's exactly what i thought of when i saw it.

[roosta Posted Apr 26th 2010 10:56PM]

theres a project to put the N64 on the PSP, but props to this guy for shrinking an N64 down to that size and keeping the retro alive.

[racefreak265 Posted Apr 26th 2010 11:05PM]

I'm pretty sure we all know how to put a cartridge into a console, Bacteria.

Goldeneye!

[XciteMe Posted Apr 26th 2010 11:24PM]

Thing looks like an Etch-a-Sketch had sex with a Nintendo 64 and this popped out. Just sayin'.

[wtfitsrick Posted Apr 27th 2010 1:06AM]

Looks nice, but the Z button should probably be on the left side, as it's usually under the joystick.

[blackke0695 Posted Apr 29th 2010 2:17AM]

i would seriously pay money for this, but im sure nintendo would sue this guy faster than the speed of light if he tried to make money off it
