First you could turn your NES into a cell phone, and now you can go the other direction. Talk all you want about your precious Bejeweled, but if you were to hand us a cell phone that had a gamepad and a Nintendo Entertainment System emulator built into it, we'd pretty much follow you anywhere.

If you live in or near Taiwan, you can get yourself a Century Sutra 1688 smartphone that runs both Windows Mobile, and Super Mario Bros. Sure it's a bit unwieldy, but if you'd told us back in 1985 that we could carry this around in our pocket one day, we'd have called you crazy. Bring it on.

For everyone who thought Microsoft's XNA project would be worthless, now is the time to rethink your opinion. Xbox-Scene got word that a guy by the name of Lone Coder has used XNA to build a NES emulator that runs on the 360 called XNA SharpNES. Though, you'll need to purchase a XNA Creator's Club membership, have Visual C# Studio Express and XNA Game Studio Express installed on your computer. There are a few bugs to work out yet, like no ROM loading menu and overall performance on the 360 running at 60% - 70%. But at least things are moving in the right direction. For more information and to download the code head over to XNA SharpNES's Google Code site. And if you're willing to try this out please comment on your experience with the emulator so we can live vicariously through you.

[Thanks, to everyone who sent this in]
