UPDATE: Sold out. A follow-up batch in silver should be coming in the future though! A Virtual Boy fan and CNC machinist from Sweden has recently created a unique and helpful upgrade for the Nintendo Virtual Boy’s stand: A metal “medallion”.

The Turbografx-16 Mini may be delayed in the U.S. , but eager shoppers are able to snag one from overseas if they don’t mind a minor price bump for shipping, and a small wait. After placing my order, I was able to get a unit in (shipping took about 4 days before it arrived) and […]
Extrems just released a new version of the Game Boy Interface (GBi) software for the Gamecube, that mainly takes advantage of the latest GCVideo-Dvi firmware update v 3.0.
