Portable NES system from ThinkGeek plays actual game cartridges

By Shawn Farner | Wednesday, May 13, 2009

Portable NESNever before have I wanted something so badly.  I would toss my iPhone aside in a heartbeat for a chance to play Kid Icarus, Ice Hockey and Tecmo Super Bowl while on the go.  And now, for the reasonable price of $49.95, I can do just that.

The Retro Mini Handheld runs on 4 AA batteries and will play your original NES cartridges (for those of you that still have them).  You can play on the Mini itself or use a AV-out cable to plug the device into your TV.  If I could add one thing to the Mini, it would be a second controller port – why be forced to play alone?

If you’re interested in picking one of these bad boys up, head on over to ThinkGeek and get your credit card ready.
