Nintendo DSi Get’s Bigger
The Nintendo DSi just got a whole lot bigger. The DSi XL was officially unveiled yesterday by Nintendo. The new handheld is a lot bigger, which is one of the things that fans have been asking for. Instead of dual 3.25-inch displays the bigger brother will now come with 4.2-inch displays. It might not sound [...]
Black Wii For The Brits
Those lucky kids across the pond in the UK will be getting the limited edition black Wii on November 6th, bundled with Wii Sports Resort no-less. Nada for us Wii loving fans here in North America.

Homebrew Channel Back Up And Running
The Homebrew Channel, which broke when Nintendo rolled out an update on October 23rd, is back up and running and better than ever.

Are These The New DS Screens?
There have been a lot of rumours flying around the internets about a new Nintendo DS lurking around the corner.

Thrustmaster’s Lightsaber Wimote Add-On
There have been quite a few lightsaber add-ons for your wimote’s before, but this one from Thrustmaster actually looks quite cool. The units are powered by three AAA batteries and have 17 blue or red LED’s for some glow in the dark fun. I’m not sure how much they will add to gameplay, but they [...]
NES Controller Sockets
Been hacking up various old NES units just to get a hold of the controller connectors for your mod projects?

Nintendo Stops Modders With Glue
Nintendo has just landed a serious blow to mod chip developers. By using something as simple as epoxy, they have made it a sticky (no pun intended) situation for people who are developing mod chip for their game console, the Wii. Glued down epoxy around the DVD-ROM IC chips will surely make it hard, if [...]
New DS Rumour
IGN has speculated to a new DS hitting store shelves some time in the first quarter of the new year. The third coming of the popular handheld gaming system will include dual touchscreen (one of them being widescreen). If that’s the case we are looking a major hardware refresh, a nice one at that too. [...]
NES PC Casemod
Here’s another NES mod, not quite like the “Wii in an NES” mod that we featured a few days ago, but this “PC in an NES” mod is a stealthy and slick one never-the-less. At first glance you would see nothing more than the beloved 8-bit gaming system some of us grew up with, but [...]
Wii In An NES Case
A crafty hacker has crammed his Wii into an old NES case. The write up is quite brief and he promises a more detailed write up at a later date, but it does include a few key details. He installed some old Game Cube joystick ports and a Game Cube memory card. He has also [...]
DVD/NES Mod
I’ve been dying to actually put my old NES up on the entertainment unit but when you try to explain the gameplay and graphics to your wife and kids when you already have a Wii and 360 hooked up, well, you can imagine. Now if I slapped my DVD player into it then they would [...]
iBand
Here’s a first; a band that uses handheld devices, namely two iPhone and a Nintendo DS to create music. Using various applications on the respected devices the iBand actually sounds pretty damn good. “Unfortunately we only have two iPhones, so we dug out that dusty Nintendo DS. But we want to take it further. There [...]
