Eye Mario System enables your face to control any NES game (video)
We\'ll be straight with you -- earlier than this fine day, we\'d never heard of the whiz kids at Waterloo Labs, but we\'ll be keeping our focus locked on their initiatives from this point forward. Why, you ask? Just have a look at that bloke above, who is in the midst of asking Mario to ...

Wooden NES sculpture fails to sell on eBay
Why nobody wanted to pay hundreds of greenbacks for this NES made from wood is beyond me. It’d swimsuit my wooden horse, my wooden shoes, and my wooden teeth. Hello, I’m George Washington, and I approve this message. Really, though. It’s a type of sculpture - “Craftsmanship is so precise apparently to be a functional Nintendo ...

Nintendo patents Wii hard drive system, but is it for them or us?
A patent application has been filed by Nintendo for a system of delivering and navigating Wii games via hard drive. It’s really simple, actually: the game disc is ripped to a DVD image, which image is given its own partition and loaded on demand. Essentially, they’re doing what pirates have been doing for the last decade or so. The question is whether this system is actually a consumer product or just a tool for them to use in-house or for display Wiis?

Kinect Sports and Joy Ride previewed, in brief (video)
We’ve already gone a bit more in-depth with the likes of Kinect Adventures, Dance Galaxy, and Your Shape, but we also had a couple brief thoughts on Microsoft’s motion-centric sports pack and cartoon racer. With Joy Ride, you’d think holding your arms out pantomiming steering would be burdensome, but in our time with Joy Ride, it really never became an issue. In fact, the one control aspect we were hesitant about going into the race — power sliding — turned out to be quite effortless. It made perfect sense tilting our bodies around sharp corners. It’s during the windows where stunts were allowed that we discovered the full-bodied parallel to button mashing. Seriously, people were instinctively ducking jumping, twisting, and flailing hoping for some bonus points.
As for Kinect Sports, Microsoft wasn’t showing much of its track-and-field centered Kinect Sports title, but what we saw didn’t fill us with confidence. The bowling game was particularly troubling, with numerous very random throws (that ended up in the gutter a lane over) and a very finicky depth-perception that wouldn’t let us really wind up or step forward very effectively. Meanwhile, the 200 meter hurdles worked just fine, but it was also a pretty simplistic running-in-place experience that was possible a couple decades ago with the NES’s Power Pad — although Kinect makes it a lot harder to cheat. Miller vs. Miller video after the break.

Letcool handheld console emulator
The Letcool handheld emulator here looks more or less like half a Nintendo DS Lite – with its top display shaved off for some reason. This unique handheld console will be able to handle GBA, NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and Game Boy ROMs, while future updates will also include additional support – hopefully the developer will stick to their word. Apart from that, this Letcool device can also double up as a portable media player, handling 8 different audio formats and 10 video formats. Features include TV-out, 4GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a digital camera and a battery life that lasts for 6 hours, all for $70. That’s pretty poor battery life come to think of it – best to stick to your DSi or PSP if you love portable gaming.

ZodTTD unveils PSX emulator for Android
ZodTTD has recently unveiled a new Sony Playstation 1 (PSX) video game console emulator for Android 2.x, which is unusual since ZodTTD is more often associated with iPhone emulator development. Nice to see them switch sides but for a moment, working with the author of Nesoid and GameBoid (NES and Game Boy emulators, respectively), where new enhancements include fullscreen play, touch controls, button support and trackball use. The framerate isn’t what it should be yet though, being not up to par with the intended 60 frames per second, but bear in mind that this is still an early build, expect better performance capability some time down the road. This emulator will work only on Android 2.x and will require fast processors such as the Snapdragon and Cortex A8.

Inventec’s Dr. Eye puts Android in a pocket-sized laptop
It may sound like a mid-boss in some forgotten and poorly translated NES game, but Dr. Eye (aka the N18C) is actually a sort of keyboard-endowed MID from Inventec. This chubby clamshell sports a QWERTY keyboard, a 4.8-inch VGA touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, and a front-facing webcam. Power is said to come from a “Marvell 624,” which we’re guessing is a 624MHz PXA310 and, while it’s currently running 1.6, word is that it’ll be dipped in 2.1′s creamy filling in the near future. When will delivery be? Inventec has been showing this guy off since last year, and while the person doing the demonstration indicates they’ll be available “pretty soon” at a price point around $400, we found this guy for sale already at a price of 2688 yuan, or about $395. So, if you’re eager to get computing and prefer donuts to eclairs, we wish you happy importing.

Glow-in-the-dark NES Tron Mod
This Tron-inspired NES mod must have taken quite a bit of effort to come up with, as it does look good. Despite looking great under the light, the console really seems to come to life when you put it under a black light, giving you that glowing look. The power switches have also been rigged with blue LEDs behind them, glowing to match the rest of the console. Part of this mod also involves the addition of a pair of 1/4″ audio jacks, allowing you to hook this console up to a stereo system, though you’ll still be getting mono sound. Have you done any Tron related projects in your spare time before? Check out a video of this mod in action after the jump.

Super Mario Bro. Crossover gets Ryu from Ninja Gaiden
Can you dig it? Ryu from Ninja Gaiden on the NES was a real badass. He could climb on walls and he had unlimited shuriken, a big plus when you’re going against hordes of anti-ninja forces on the NES. But how is he against Koopa Troopers?
Our favorite game, SMB Crossover, just announced they’re adding Ryu [...]

Concept: Solar Nintendo DS Lite Building
While we all love our consoles, what would you think if our buildings were shaped like consoles? A photographer Joseph Ford has come up with a series of photos dubbed “If I Were President”, depicting a few buildings shaped like the Nintendo DS Lite, NES and Sony PS3. If the fact that they’re shaped like the consoles we love isn’t enough to vote for him, the fact that the dual “screens” on the DS Lite are solar panels certainly will. Would you like it if your office building were shaped like this?

Walkman Outsold iPod in Japan During August [Apple]It's party time for Sony, as the planets of consumerism aligned to earn it a unprecedented win over Apple's iPod music-playing range. It's the first time Walkman has outsold Apple's music players inside the region since iPod arrived in 2001. Sony had to make a number of sacrifices with the intention to win back musical market share, though, aggressively under-cutting the cost of its rival.![A Dual-Booting Tablet Running Android 1.6 Sounds Barmy, Viewsonic [Tablets]](http://nexgadget.com/images/A-DualBooting-Tablet-Running-Android-Sounds-Barmy-Viewsonic-Tablets_tuTo-_0.jpg)

I can't consider many the explanation why someone would need a dual-booting tablet, but obviously dual-booting laptops (running something like
