NES plus Playstation 2 equals NEStation

Another day, another NES casemod. This NEStation from French console hacker kotami certainly borrows heavily from the PS2's design, although we'd challenge anyone to fit a full-size NES into one of those itty bitty slimline PS2 cases.

We're not sure what the motivation behind this mod might be--perhaps it's down to the old adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Will we see the NEXbox next?

For someone to make a NEXBox that would require something on the XBox being worthy of flattery.

this is what gaming would be like if Nintendo and Sony did partner up in the early 90's

Erm...superior power of the xbox over the ps2?

That's one thing worthy.

I have a PC thank you very much. There is but one concession I will make: Ninja Gaiden. I'm so dissapointed with my Xbox right now, it's been just sitting there, taking up (a whole damn bunch of) space. It's already been abandoned by MS too! That's the last Microsoft console I ever buy.

desecration!

Jose; I half agree. I used to use my Xbox as a media centre until I just got rid of my TV and got a large monitor instead. Now my mac is my media centre ;) I won't buy a 360 until it's good.

Do these people know nothing? The PS2 was a hideous design. almost as bad as the clashing Xbox. The slimline PS2 is nicer but who on EARTH was MS kidding with the crystal Xbox? Urgh. Talk about tacky. IMO the only consoles to ever look the slightest bit nice are (worst to best, of the best); the PSP, DS Lite, Revolution.

now! A Rev styled NES would be appreciated.

It looks so sweet.

Haha, yes, that picture is awesome SilverSurfer. I've been dreaming of something like that since they announced the prototype body and virtual console thing. They best make a retro styled version. Would be sweet. I'd get that over any of the other colors.

funkyflea, are you serious? Are you seriously saying that pure computational power is good? That polygons are better than gameplay? That's what I'm hearing. And it's making me sad for the future of our great pasttime. Very, very sad.

Sorry about being the asshole here, but that's the dumbest mod I've ever seen in my life.
