...what, you didn't think i was talking about something else, did you?

Breath of the Wild was already one of my favorite games so i've really been enjoying it. I've only finished one dungeon and now I'm just doing as much zonaite farming as I can to max out my batteries

A PCB to put a raspberry pi compatible board into a Gameboy SP shell is now available for preorder. As you might have guessed from the url, they previously did the same for the Game Gear. Very cool stuff that gives dead consoles or aftermarket parts another use. I'd love for them to do something with the Nomad someday so we can get full six-button controls, although I imagine that's a much harder case to track down!

Interesting read, although it's a shame it was basically only ever used for trading currency and exp in fighting games. The GBA-GCN link cable got some more interesting uses (I betcha the Tiny Chao Garden is a recycled form of Sonic Pocket Adventure's cut Sonic Adventure 2 connectivity) and then the Wii U took that idea to the extreme but we all know how that ended. Are there any games you wish had console/handheld connectivity or any ideas you wish were tried with it?
