Join Tom and Scott as they discuss this: It may or may not actually be the most compact Nintendo 64 we’ve ever seen, but even if it’s holding down the second spot, you can’t knock the ingenuity here. Crafted by one Evil Nod, the self-proclaimed N Gear 64 is little more than an N64 console tucked, shoved and crammed inside a Sega Game Gear enclosure. Best of all, the modder somehow stuffed an N64 controller in there too, yet still left all of the original markings for nostalgia’s sake. Head on past the jump for a video of it in action, or tap that source link to learn more about the build process. Riveting stuff, we tell ya.
And, we get a great reader submission to boot!

Hey! Why not leave us a nice review on iTunes if you like the show?
Hi guys. I hate to do this, but I have to correct you on something in relation to episode 99: Princess In Another Handheld.
The Game Gear required 6 AA, not 4. The Nintendo Game Boy took 4.
As for a geeky submission, this is something that happened at work yesterday. I thought that the CG community might get a laugh out of it.
I am a barber (or as I refer to it “cut monkey” in homage to Jonathan Colton); yesterday I was giving a haircut to a young boy (10 years old) who is an aspiring gamer. I mentioned that I’ve been [video] gaming sense the days of the NES. He asked me what that was. I spent the remainder of the haircut explaining the history of video games.
Anywho, thank you for brighting up my day every three days or so.
