Nintendo Wii: Old-School Nintendo Dream Machine

Who needs Virtual Console titles when you can get this?

Nintendo fans rejoice! Someone has combined the SNES and NES into one console.  While many gamers have been repurchasing games for the Virtual Console that may no longer work on their aging Nintendo or Super Nintendo systems, the FC Twin gives new life to the aging consoles.

Best of all, it's perfectly legal, the patents for both original consoles have expired and it’s fully compatible with any peripherals that were for the original consoles.  The FC Twin also has full chip sets for both systems, meaning that nothing else is necessary to play the games that you have stored away in that box in your closet.  You know, the box...next to that other box you don't want your parents to know about.

With the FC Twin's design you can leave two games in at the same time and with the switch of a button you can play either game.

The creators are selling it for about £30, but it's import only at the moment.
