Remember how at the beginning of this month we saw a new teaser site that was launched by Square Enix, where it seemed to concentrate a whole lot on ‘Ranobe-Style’ RPG? That happens to be a reference that is commonly used to describe an episodic book and anime series, or if loosely translated, ‘Light Novel’. Well, apparently the teaser points to an iOS RPG that is called School Girl Strikers. I know that the mobile platform is worth looking into since it has grown explosively over the years, but for Square Enix to work on an iOS game instead of a full RPG console release is not something that happens every day.

Apart from that, chances as School Girl Strikers would never make its way Stateside eventually due to the content of the game, not to mention that gamers in the West do have different gaming ideologies or philosophies. At the very least, there is a “Sound & Audio” trailer that was released by Square Enix, and in Japanese no less, to set the tone for the upcoming RPG on Apple devices.

So far, there has been no mention of any other information or leads that are worth exploring, including the availability date, but how much do you think a Square Enix title will cost on the Apple App Store?

There is just something special about DIY projects that melts the heart, and with this person known as “Bungle”, he or she has come up with a portable version of the Nintendo 64. Of course, there is no such thing as a portable Nintendo 64 in the first place, so some serious engineering considerations needed to be made for this unique DIY handheld project that you see above.

Bungle did write down a description on the Bacman retro console modding forums, touting that this particular model of the modified Nintendo 64 will offer support for both Expansion and Rumble Packs, in addition to custom buttons, a legitimate N64 analog stick, internal memory and a 3.5″ display. In fact, the mod does accept the real cartridge of yore, the very same ones that you slip into a Nintendo 64 back in the day, and the 4,400mAh battery delivers approximately four hours of juice.

While this is not exactly up to par with the battery life readings that the Nintendo 3DS or the Sony PS Vita carry, still, hats off to Bungle for coming up with such a hack. Will such creations actually be developed on a larger scale so that it can actually be purchase? Imagine playing GoldenEye on a 3.5” display, it certainly rolls back the years, doesn’t it? This is not the first portable Nintendo 64 console that we have seen, and hopefully it will not be the last.
