Your iPhone is about to get a whole lot cooler, thanks to a little app called snes4iphone - a native SNES emulator for the iPhone and iPod touch that recently hit beta.
If you can’t wait for the public release, you can donate to the developers and they’ll let you in on the beta.
Obligatory Youtube vid after the jump.
…and you thought the Super Scope was obscure? Meet the MACS Multipurpose Arcade Combat Simulator for the Super Nintendo - perhaps the rarest video game and accessory in existence. Developed for the U.S. Army to increase the firing accuracy of recruits, the game uses an M16 replica of authentic size and weight for an input device, rather than a plastic approximation.
The cartridge label reads “MACS Moving Target Simulator (C) 1993 Sculptured Software, Inc” - presumably the same Sculptured Software that was responsible for the SNES ports of the Mortal Kombat series - however information is scarce.
Those lucky members of Club Nintendo in Japan could pick up their very own Wii SNES controller come April. Nintendo have no plans to release the controller at retail or outside Japan. Time to do what westerners do best, and kick up a stink on the internet.

Nintendo have done the unimaginable (mainly because we can’t believe it was still going on) and dropped support of the NES. After 24 years of service the little trooper is being laid to rest. This means that you’ll have to take extra good care of little Nessy now, as the big N won’t be helping you out when too much spittle gets blown into the cartridge port. On the upside, those with mint condition consoles just started getting a little bit richer. Nintendo have also let it be known that the SNES, Nintendo 64, Gameboy and Gameboy Pocket aren’t far from “going to live at a farm” either.
