+ I bought a #Nintendo DSi from a second-hand store here in #Japan, and inside it was a flashcart with a SD card. Inside 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 was a folder with some fun images on it!

I'm not sure who this rock-star is, but I am absolutely in fucking love with the photos, and if you ever see these Mister Rock-Star - I'll happily send you the album :)

#RetroGaming and #HandheldGaming are still so big in this country, its so much fun trawling for fun finds here

Massive shout-out to @Knoebel for not only bringing his gaming news posts to Bluesky but also doing them natively in the Fediverse.
Not many big gaming accounts do this and every time it happens, I dearly cherish it.

I really don't say this enough, but you are appreciated, big time, mate

Huge love for the old #gaming advertising and #design

#SEGA and #SonicTheHedgehog are some of my fav ancient games, and you can see some fun ads here

...though as far as #HandheldGaming went, the Game Gear might not be quite so fondly remembered (though modern solutions of IPS drop-in displays and battery packs are possible with mods), we can still enjoy them on our #SteamDeck

'An Ode to the Game Boy Advance' via Brain Baking, which is an excellent writeup and rundown of the GBA: https://brainbaking.com/post/2025/03/an-ode-to-the-game-boy-advance

I don't think you can beat this #Nintendo #Gameboy Advance, done in the slate mod style.

These are a typical mod where you take the PCB and screen and install it in a metal shell - changing how the typical SP is a folding #HandheldGaming device and instead making it a typical old portrait look for the Gameboy.

I found this one made as a dedication to #MegaMan and its a 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭 #design using UV printing.

I think I'm in love!

My Steam Deck has some custom boot screens and every time the custom Playstation 2 screen comes up, my brain freezes for a sec, lmao

P.S. kinda in love with how cute the #RaspberryPi project: the 𝐏𝐢 𝐓𝐢𝐧 is.

Either #3DPrinting the enclosure, or using an Altoids tin of all things. Another kinda adorable option for #HandheldGaming and #emulation

The link to the #gaming project is here:

So for my (𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘨) list of quite odd #gaming consoles I've posted about on here, there's another I stumbled over tonight:

A famicom/NES clone designed to have a burger's pattern on it was canceled for release, being made by McDonald's China themselves.

Kinda strange, but seeing a #Nintendo console with a burger pattern sure is a sight to behold.

Reminds me of the recent Tetris #HandheldGaming console made to look like a big chicken nugget!

Weird #burger #design this time

Spotted a fun #Nintendo #Gameboy project earlier tonight, too.

Called the 'GameBoy Color Re-imagined', user MaSaKee self-designed and is #3DPrinting this one. They state there's a lot to improve, but...this is wonderful and just what I love to see in #gaming - people taking established and beloved things and making them 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯

Oh hey guys I have returned to #RidgeRacer and this game is dangerous

I don't usually like linking to or reading Kotaku (they're ridiculous) but I'm making an exception because this piece they wrote about this reddit find is too wild - Pokémon Sun cartridge sitting outside in the dirt for over six years STILL WORKS. Cartridges ftw, man
