Starting out with a cheap NES clone and a Super Mario Bros. cartridge, French modder Kotomi has created perhaps the coolest NES mod yet by squeezing the console into one of it’s own cartridges. It’s fully functional, with a cartridge slot, power and reset buttons, two controller ports and a composite AV out.
It’s not often that Brits get things that turn the rest of the world green with envy, but these nifty little Super Mario figurines will only be available at Gamestation in the UK. The 6 pictured figures are due out in December, with 18 more on the way at a later date. Check after the jump for another picture.
A group of musically minded gamers have developed an emulation of the NES classic Super Mario Bros. that uses sound as a means for control. Players can sing, clap or play musical instruments in order to advance Mario through the stage. While it’s currently more of a crazy student project than a releasable game concept, we wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this turn up on the microphone-equipped Nintendo DS eventually.

You won’t find this one on the shelves - this full-flight display of nerd-dom was custom-built to spec. If the plans for a pair of Goomba speakers are not currently being drawn up, I will be sorely disappointed.
