Nintendo Cartridges Serve as Retro Storage

Two things that I can’t get enough of, retro technology coming back in a big way, and plenty of storage for all my digital data. Recently some of our favorite Nintendo NES titles are being given a new lease on life, but not as video games, or re-hashed HD titles on 3rd party systems, but as storage devices for our laptops and desktops.

The NES hard drives come a variety of sizes up to 1TB, now that’s a lot of storage. The NES cartridges come some some classic flavors such as Mario/Duckhunt, Metroid, Bionic Commando, Contra, Tetris, and Dr. Mario to name a few. The storage devices are built into the original casings for these games with game imagery and all. They feature a 2.5-inch Toshiba drive with USB interfaces.

NES hard drives range in price from $130 – $180, depending on the size. Their nondescript look will wow your friends who won’t expect the classics of yesterday to be used as storage devices today. As a fan of the old NES system seeing these cartridges again brings back memories of late night gaming and trading games with friends.
