Homemade Handheld N64

This may not be the first portable N64 system, but it’s definitely no slouch. Created by “bungle” of Bacman forums, this game controller-shaped creation boasts an ample 3.5-inch display, Rumble Pak compatibility, 4-hours of battery life, and a GameCube analog stick to finish things off.

The N64 sold 32.93 million units worldwide, and in 2009, it was named the 9th greatest video game console by IGN.
