Ever wanted to take your old NES cartridges on trips without having to carry the actual console with you? Now you can, although the portable NES system doesn’t quite scream high definition.

FC Mobile’s portable NES console lets you play all those ‘80s titles while you’re on the move. I reckon the portable console resembles a Game Boy Micro. It runs on a couple of AA batteries, has a 2.4-inch LCD screen and incorporates stereo speakers (together with a headphone socket, if you somehow want to privately enjoy the 8-bit goodness). This portable version even lets you hook it up to your TV via the included AV cable, in case those blocky pixels look too small on the supplied LCD.

Unfortunately for Asian NES lovers, the FC Mobile console seems to accept only North American NES cartridges, rather than the Japanese. Although I’ve searched for an official site for this console, all I could find was some eBay offers. Expect to pay between $40 and $50, but the package comes with no game cartridges. Be sure to check everything that is related to the eBay sellers, you might get a brick instead of the actual console. Who’s running FC Mobile anyway?
