If heaven was a resolution, it would be 8-bit.

Retro games could never get old, well... They will, but not in the sense that they'll become boring. After all, they made gaming what it is today, through evolution and lots and lots of headbanging. That's why I've chosen to write about this gadget, which promotes good old retro fun. Introducing the mini handheld NES system.

This gadget isn't as exciting as most of the stuff i write about like the borat mankini (haha, that still gets me) or lightsaber umbrella but i can see it's appeal. Mostly to the older, core gamers - the real pro's. The handheld NES system works quite simply, it runs of 4 AA batteries which will keep it running for a good 8 hours. It's only compatible with NES games, none are included unfortunately, so you better get scrummaging through your attic! You can also connect this great gadget to your TV and play in 8-bit heaven on your 52" screen, that's if the 2.4" LCD one isn't good enough for you, but nothing is, is it!

You can buy the Retro mini handheld NES for around 49 dollars or about 31 pounds. As for the cartridges, the best place will be ebay.
