Have you ever thought about combining different Nintendo consoles to create something entirely new and unexpected? Well, hardware modder Hairo Satoh, also known as Retrohai Softbank, has taken this concept to a whole new level with his unique and somewhat strange creations.
Taking a dive into Satoh’s Instagram account, you will find a collection of mutated Nintendo handhelds that will leave you both fascinated and bewildered. From swapping screens and adding extra components, Satoh’s creations push the boundaries of traditional handheld console design.
While Satoh is known for his quirky creations, he also produces stunning custom jobs on Nintendo’s portable consoles. From transparent cases with hologram stickers to color-changing sheens, Satoh’s attention to detail is truly impressive. Each custom job is made to order, ensuring that every piece is unique and tailored to the customer’s preferences.
One of Satoh’s most striking creations involves combining a Game Boy Advance SP screen with various Nintendo console gamepads. The seamless integration of the GBA SP screen onto an SNES controller or a PS2 Dual Shock controller is both surprising and innovative. While some combinations may seem unconventional, such as a Nintendo DS Lite with a GBA SP screen attached, the creativity behind these mash-ups is undeniable.
As Satoh’s creations become more elaborate, they enter the realm of the “cursed.” The Original Game Boy Advance SP DS (OGBASPDS) features a multi-position adjustable screen, reminiscent of a T-Mobile Sidekick. The addition of extra buttons and a d-pad on certain creations may seem chaotic, but it adds an element of unpredictability and fun to the overall design.
Satoh’s inventive creations continue to fascinate and perplex enthusiasts of Nintendo consoles. While the specifics of his creations remain a mystery, one thing is clear – Satoh’s imagination knows no bounds when it comes to reimagining and reshaping handheld gaming devices. As we eagerly await more information on the inner workings of these quirky mods, one thing is for certain – the world of Nintendo console mods will never be the same again.
