Get your tissues ready and prepare to weep. If you’re old enough to remember GoldenEye 007, (not only the greatest James Bond game ever, but one of the best games ever) and were hoping that it may make it’s way to a new console such as the Xbox Live Arcade or Wii Virtual Console, you’re going to be thoroughly disappointed. According to Rare, the company responsible for the N64 first person shooter, made it very clear that there isn’t much hope for future renditions or even ports of the game to come to modern consoles. A rather close summary would go along the lines of: “a snowball’s chance in hell”.
Again, not very encouraging to say the least. I know that I myself as well as hoards of games would have shelled out another $20-$30 to get a modern version/port of that game on new hardware. Sadly it looks as if those leaked shots of a hi-def GoldenEye “10th Anniversary Edition” are nothing more than a visual tease, taunting us from behind closed doors. god life sucks…

Sure there have been various consoles parted and stuffed into cases of different sizes. But the coolest one to cross my attention so far is the N64 laptop. Stuffed inside of a PS3 carrying case, the N64 mod brings retro gaming to gamers on the move. While the mod pictured is a bit crude and unrefined, the unit apparently does the intended purpose of giving the creators the added benefit and ease of N64 gaming wherever they please. Not to mention, the game in the picture is one of my favorites and to me, one of the best N64 titles ever: Goldeneye. Of course, what good is a portable gaming system without controllers? Luckily two controller ports are located on the side of the device. If you’re feeling a little crafty yourselves, you can take comfort in knowing that this particular mod won’t run you too much in the cheddar department as all of the parts needed were only a “few dollars”. Cool device of the day? If you’re still reading eagerly awaiting building instructions and some more pics of the dirty, raw internals, head on over to No Where Else and educate yourselves.
