When I think of “retro” gaming consoles, the GameCube isn’t necessarily one that first comes to mind. Yet if you really think about it in technology years, the GameCube is pretty old. Just because it’s old doesn’t mean we can’t still have some fun with it though. One of the most popular mods for gamers and tinkers alike is the “portable console mod”. Taking a console such as a PS2, Dreamcast, or in this case, a GameCube, and transforming it into something small and lightweight means added entertainment on the road.
The man behind the work is seasoned modder, “Techknott”. For the Flip-top GameCube, a considerable amount of engineering and ingenuity had to be employed in order to shrink down that rather bulky cube into a more “pocketable” experience. In truth, you probably won’t want to attempt stuffing this in your pocket. What it lacks in real world pocket-ability however, it more than makes up for it in added mobile entertainment. Just think of all the amazing NES/SNES/GameCube games you can now play on the go!
I’d totally make one if I had time…and a GameCube to sacrifice. Anyone else willing to take the plunge?
