When I was a lad, I wanted to take my Super Nintendo Entertainment System - or SNES as it’s more commonly known – everywhere I went. I remember when I packed it up for a holiday to France only to be told that I couldn’t bring it. Put it this way – that’s a journey my parents would love to forget.

If only I had the skillZ (that’s right, it deserves a ‘Z’) of one Ben Heck, who obviously had the same issue I had, because he’s only gone and put together a SNES-portable.

According to the man’s blog, Ben started the project at Christmas and has only just completed it. Stripping down the SNES’s parts and putting it all back together in a small handheld sized case, Ben added two internal lithium-polymer batteries, a purpose built cartridge slot, an original SNES D-pad and AV and headphone jacks.

Sure, its no DS but if only Nintendo had done this years ago, I would have made that trip to France better on my folks.
