\nWhen someone says “portable,” what do you think? I think “fits in a bag or pocket,” but some people would go the “portable” generator<\/em> route and say “is not physically fixed in position.” That seems to be the “portable” that the creators of the SNEGENES<\/a> had in mind when they said their device was so. Now, I don’t want to detract from the obvious glory of what has been created here: a (technically) handheld device that will play cartridges from NES, SNES, and Genesis — but really, that thing is about as portable as my bathtub.<\/p>\n

Note that in the video above, everything is flipped left-right. While this would make for an interesting twist on some of your old favorites (imagine running left<\/em> in Sonic<\/em>), it is in fact just a video issue (shot in Photo Booth, I believe).<\/p>\n

Now, as we’ve seen with the handheld Genesis I reviewed just a few weeks ago, you an easily put a Genesis and some games on a chip and it’ll work great. But if I’m not mistaken, the actual hardware and PCBs of all three systems (clones, but still) are integrated into the construction of this grotesque gaming Cerberus. Again, this somewhat affects its portability.<\/p>\n

Yet, that said… why do I want one so bad?<\/p>\n
