Modders, the mad, mad bastards that they are, can do some funky things with old consoles. Not for any specific reason, you understand. It's all just a 'hey, ma, look what I did' attention seeking exercise. Did the world need a decrepit old NES console that can run Netflix? No, no it didn't, but it has one now.
Then there's Nintendo themselves. In a desperate grab at our collective cashtacular, they bust out remodel after remodel of their handhelds. The DS in particular went from a smaller 'lite' model to a larger XL, just to ensure everyone from dwarfs to 8 foot circus freaks can buy themselves a console to suit them.
Then there was that rather funky square-shaped Game Boy Advance, but we're getting off topic. The point is, when crazy modders and Nintendo's handheld remodel lust collide, this kind of thing happens. Meet the Game Boy XXL.
This monster is the work of Ilhan Ünal, Kotaku reports, and was built with a combination of an old 19" PC monitor, laser-cut MDF and the Raspberry Pi operating system. As I say, the whole 'why' thing doesn't seem to matter here. Let's just ogle his badass retro handiwork.
It's functional, too; check it out getting its Tetris on back at the link above.
