You're going to need a lot of hot glue to replicate this project.
By Darryn Bonthuys on
If you're a PlayStation fan, you can thank Nintendo for its decision to ditch Sony and partner up with Phillips for its first CD-based console, ultimately leading to the greatest revenge flex of all time when Sony entered the gaming market with the PlayStation console. But before Nintendo's great betrayal, a prototype of a Sony-powered SNES console did exist. If you had enough cash, that device could have been yours for a little over $300,000.
That price tag might be a tad too high for most people, and fortunately, there is a more affordable alternative as demonstrated by YouTuber James Channel. All you need are old SNES and PlayStation consoles, knowledge on how to safely work with electricity, and a lot of hot glue to create your very own Nintendo-branded Sony CD-ROM console. A word of warning: If you're squeamish when it comes to seeing vintage console technology cut apart and Frankensteined into a hybrid device, you might want to look away before you click on the video below.
As demonstrated above, there are a few challenges to consider before you jam the internal hardware of a PlayStation into an SNES shell. A lot of superfluous material needs to be hacked off, but if you persevere and don't run out of hot glue, you too can put together your very own Nintendo PlayStation.
2024 will mark the 30th anniversary of PlayStation, and while Sony has yet to announce any special events to celebrate this milestone, Sony will likely have something planned to mark the occasion. We're hoping for the announcement of a PS1-style PS5, just like the one that outgoing PlayStation boss Jim Ryan got at his farewell party last year.

Things are looking rosy over at Nintendo, as the gaming giant has announced it will be releasing a new pair of pastel pink Joy-Cons for the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo has now confirmed the specific date and time that online services will be shut down for 3DS and Wii U software, and there’s less than three months to go.
It’s that time of year again! With January winding down, Nintendo fans await confirmation that The Big N is getting ready to present its first Nintendo Direct of the year! Ever since these started several years back, fans have been pumped for when the next one will arrive and what will be shown. This particular Direct will be important because it’s not just the first event of the year for Nintendo but because it’s presumably the last “full year” of Switch content. We only have one “original title” coming out via the Princess Peach game, and that seems pretty “light.”
Nintendo has quite a big collection of IPs they could return and deliver a new game for. One of the franchises that had been a bit dormant as of late is Star Fox. This is a franchise that hasn’t seen a new game release since the Nintendo Wii U. However, you can point to the previously released Star Fox 2, a title that was intended to be released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. If you recall, that game did come out during the heyday of mini-console releases for Nintendo. But beyond that, we haven’t seen a new installment released. That could change here soon.

Rewinding time to the earliest days of Rome, from a time before the republic was founded, Citadelum is a city builder with a little bit of a difference. Sure, you’re founding a settlement, looking to grow and expand, but you’ll be doing so while the pantheon of gods can walk among your populace.

Resident Evil 2 leads the pack of new titles coming to the PlayStation Plus Extra and Deluxe/ Premium game catalogue, this month.

Kennedy, only to be pit against hordes of flesh-eating zombies.

Resident Evil 2 will be available to play on both PS4 and PS5.
