Shank’s GloWii

Shank just posted a video showing how to integrate LED ambient lighting into a portable Wii with a transparent case.  I’ve always felt that (when done right!), ambient light can really add to your overall experience, but I never considered how it would work in a portable.  Spoiler:  It came out awesome.

Mega Man II Ported to SNES

Developer Infidelity has just ported Mega Man II from the NES to SNES – A follow up from his previous work on Mega Man IV.  This was all done manually in hexadecimal, without relying on (awesome!) software like Project Nested.  Everything should look and play the same, but without the flicker and slowdown you’d get […]
