Apr 25 2007Super Nintendo Wii mod

French modder Kotomi created this Super Nintendo mod based on the Wii which he calls the Nintendo Super Nii. It plays classic SNES cartridges and looks, well, awesome. Although I can't decide if I like this NES mod better. I guess they both made me cream my pants equally so let's call it a tie.
A couple more shots of the Nintendo Super Nii after the jump.

I hated the SNES. Mortal Kombat had no blood. Plus, my dad got me a genesis and a football instead of what I wanted. My only option was to cry, or lash out at those who owned super nintendos. Losers.

Uh-oh. This doesn't bode well for my disassociative disorder.

It can't possibly apply to us Old Schoolers brownian. I'm fairly certain we're allowed to do what we want. Why don't you test it by posting in one word increments 20 times in a row? Ha Ha, just kidding of course. God it's good to be back on an active site!

But jilly, with all these people around, how will we find a place to make out? You promised. I bet the nintendo house is vacant by now.

C'mon now, Genesis > SNES

Yes, hopefully, since we've had to tolerate this change, the webmaster can tolerate our off-topic commenting. Whaddayasay we get Pastor Al involved and have a real off-topic, 300+ post spiritual debate to celebrate this new era of Geekologie commenting?!

that thing is sexy... from a gamer chick's pov ofc. I still own all my consoles, even that old ass atari .. this is love at first sight!
13. 1-Ton - April 25, 2007 9:30 AM
Ok, Brownie, if I may stoke your intellect a bit;
Some who don't believe in God simply can't wrap their brains around the idea that God does, and has always existed. However, to not believe in God, means you must inherently except that matter, space and time have always existed, and were never created. So how is that any different or easier to believe?
14. 1-Ton - April 25, 2007 9:32 AM
Correction: "accept" for "except"
Two different words people. Learn it, know it, live it.
15. Brownian - April 25, 2007 9:32 AM
Okay, okay. Gotta post on topic.
C'mon man, pull yourself together. You can do this.
Er...ugh...THIS THING IS KEWL!
There, that wasn't so bad, was it?
16. 1-Ton - April 25, 2007 9:35 AM
Cool, indeed. Too bad I sold my SNES and all games at my garage sale. Oh well.

don't you think the knights of Nii wil be a little upset that someone stole their name?

19. Brownian - April 25, 2007 9:44 AM
Okay 1-Ton. I'll take your bait:
First things first: this is a strawman argument. I don't know who these people are who can't comprehend an eternal god (although I can understand the difficulties in rationalising a specific deity who spends an eternity doing nothing, then gets really busy creating shit that exists for a finite amount of time only to parse it into one of two locations for an eternity based on its activities during the finite period of time) but can comprehend an eternal matter/energy cosmology so I can't be expected to answer for them.
I generally agree with your point about the beliefs in the eternity of an eternal god or the eternity of an eternal matter/energy cosmology would seem to be to be equally difficult to comprehend. That is not the same as saying the beliefs themselves are equivalent though (pantheists would be an acception(!) to this).
20. vanman - April 25, 2007 9:51 AM
WRONG!
One things for sure, if i have to keep typing my personal info, i'll be wasting an insane amount of company time.
21. 1-Ton - April 25, 2007 9:54 AM
Thanks, Brownie. I would never attempt to equate the beliefs. But one could certainly draw the parallel between theism and atheism to say that each still requires some level of faith and/or suspension of disbelief. Yes?
22. Brownian - April 25, 2007 10:12 AM
Every epistemology requires some acceptance of things that cannot be definitively proven (ie we cannot 'prove' our own existence), but that is not quite the same as what most people mean by faith. Theism requires belief. Atheism is simply disbelief. They are not equivalent.
As for suspension of disbelief, it is the very definition of how I came to reject Catholicism, then Christianity, then some vague 'woo-woo' spiritualism, and to finally accept that I was an atheist. I stopped suspending my disbelief.
Consider for a moment that you and I are actually both atheists. You merely reject one less god (out of the hundreds of thousands that humans have believed in over the years) than I. How much faith does it take for you not to believe in Zeus, Brahma or Unkulunkulu?

sorry, prefer and the are sopposed to be seperate in the above post. I cannot edit my post, and was typing fast. There is no need for the Grammar Police to come after me.

Signs you're on a nerd site:
A story about a contraption that looks like a Wii but plays SNES carts rapidly morphs into an argument about the (non)existence of God.
Noice. Loves it.
#9 - Bollocks. They've both got their stong and weak points. The SNES is the serious one you settle down and have a deep relationship with, and the Megadrive's the knockabout bit of hot totty you have a riotous romp of a fling with.

I LOVE YOUR WEBSITE! I read it everyday :) Keep up the good work
28. buzz_clik - April 25, 2007 5:27 PM
#22 - Unkulunkulu says not to go flinging their name around in such a flippant manner. Hey, don't look at me like that... I'm just the messenger.

Jesus is your saviour, come to him and drink from the cup of everlasting salvation!
He who cometh in the name of the Lord, is your redeemer.
Eat the bread of life, and drink the blood of jesus christ.

Honestly, I find both atheistic and theistic 'religions' to be so narrow minded. As humans, I believe that nobody can ultimately PROVE or DISPROVE the existance or lack-of a "god" That is, unless you believe in the good word of Bill cosby. Then to all a puddin pop.

Wup zip wuppawazzle it's the b, i, double l to tell you all bout da puddin pop. Now don't you try and uh tells me that the puddin pop...Don't exist...cause it do. It do so infact exist, I eat one right now...But that's time for another storybook. Believe in me and ye shall get da puddin pop

Its excellent. I absolutely love the Wii !! Although it took me quite a while to finally get my hands on this console, it was definitely worth the wait. Wii Fit and Wii Sports have made exercise fun for me; The world is gone mad: I just purchased the Cheapest nintendos in the world.thank you, Nintendo
