Cool DIY Super Famicom kit turned into cooler mini-TV kit ⊟

I’m pretty impressed with Columbus Circle’s barebones DIY kits, basically just clone Super Famicoms or Famicoms without cases. You can then put it into whatever container you can imagine, like this toaster!

What Youtuber LimoneWorkshop did, however, is to put the tiny kit into a custom-built miniature Sharp SF-1. And it totally owns.

I’m trying to imagine what I would do with one of these Super Famicom kits, and I think it’s “put it on a shelf and then decide to sell it 3 years later.” But for other people, what a cool idea!

My Famicase Exhibition opening in LA ⊟

My Famicase Exhibition, the gallery of imagined games displayed as Famicom cartridges, will come to the USA for the first time in 18 years tomorrow. Traditionally hosted by Tokyo game shop Meteor, the annual exhibit will open with a special Los Angeles show at the Capsule Corner gashapon booth and art gallery (located in the Hive Gallery & Studios).

“253 original cartridge designs will be on display from artists, illustrators, designers and creators from over 29 countries! … Visitors of MY FAMICASE EXHIBITION - LA will have an opportunity to cast their vote for USA’s favorite Famicom design as is tradition in the Japanese exhibit.”

The exhibit runs from July 1 to 24, with an opening reception for the first three days that you can RSVP for here. Capsule Corner will also feature works by Froyo Tam, Mel Haasch, and Nelson Wu at its gallery.

If you can’t make it to LA this July, you can view the Famicom cartridge designs virtually at Meteor’s site, or purchase a print catalog collecting all 253 entries through Capsule Corner’s online shop. There’s a killer commemorative sticker (sized at 4"x3.5", shown above) illustrated by Billie Snippet that you can pick up, too!
