Retro-modded Nintendo DS

French modder Kotami, designer of the NEStation, recently tested his skills on the DS. No witty name has been attached to the project, but the work is another fine example of Kotami's ravenous NES fetish. The outer shell sports the simple design of Nintendo's debut console, while the inner work mimics the NES's original controller. Next time Nintendo considers a retro-themed incarnation, they should definitely consult this guy. Kudos.

This is really cool! I dig the old retro look. I bought one of the retro GBA's and I love it as well. Nice work Kotami.

That's pretty cool, but here's my mod of a bunch of PSPs:

Seems like you didn't brick just one PSP :D.

I like the idea of the post. I really like J B Cougar's psp use though. It see that someone is finally using those things for some good.

Rewind, the cool thing about that name is that in my language, "dnes" means "today" :-)
