Hacking the Mini NES Classic Edition

We forgot to examine the aspect of fun. This WOULD be fun to do.


Nintendo’s recent rerelease of their very first home console has a design flaw… it’s hackable. That’s right, you can hook it up to your computer and load games onto the hardware that Nintendo never intended you to have access to on the miniature device. This is a great opportunity, but it has legal, technical, and even moral implications that must be examined first! Let us do the research for you and then you can make up your mind after this video. Let us know your stance in the comments!

#5: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Pt. 2

I find it ironic that in trying to break it less, we broke it more…


We’re going back to Double Dash to see if we can break it a little bit less than last time, and… well… Let’s see what happens!

#4: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

I think the map is actually more helpful that way.


What are all these messed up color blobs?? Why, it’s Mario Kart Double Dash, of course!
