A portable Super Nintendo would be like sex, only wrapped in plastic. This beauty was built out of the ZN-40 project enclosure shell by benheck forum user “Life of Brian,” and supports a wide array of custom constructed parts.

The unit itself houses numerous features including the original SNES buttons and D-pad built into the case, trigger positioned shoulder buttons, headphone jack and AV out port, internal lithium polymer batteries, and, as “Life of Brian” puts it, a “badass handmade cartridge slot.”

However, the coolest feature I’ve found out about this thing is that it’s a portable effing Super Nintendo.

The benheck forums also have a wonderful thread showing a picture gallery of the process “Life of Brian” went through while building the device.

I’m glad there are people out there making these kinds of things, but man, what I would have given to have one of these when I was a kid.

Have something you think we should show on Geeked-Out? Email it to us.
