heyho.
so my utopia of nintendo releasing these will never come true, sadly.
BUT maybe there is one of you out there who could accomplish something similar!

what i imagine is some sort of evolution of the classic game & watch handhelds and the classic nes series for GBA.
i hereby present you my first wish-design of the
Classic mini NES!

anim8or file if anyone wants it:

the size of this thing would be no bigger than an average mobile phone.
size comparison: the d-pad is the same size as the one from a GBA.
there is one (or more) game(s) included, no slot for other games.

now my question is:
Could this be done?
please note: im not requesting anything yet (though i doubt the possibility of this anyways :P)!

ok, found some amazing chinaware nes/gameboy of kind of the same dimensions (and gonna get it for birthday :D), so it IS possible.

but the biggest problem for a home made one is probably the size of the famiclone/nes.
or is there any famiclone tiny enough for this?

Ben's NES Micro is kind of close to this...

He used a cartridge slot, though. Which, in my opinion, makes it better, but if one were to use a NOAC with built in games it could be made even smaller.

Hm...yeah, if you drop the cart slot, you might be able to get pretty close to that size, tho I don't think you could get it quite as thin.
