New SNES portable is heavy on the SNES, light on the portable

The SNES has certainly proven to be one of the most popular consoles to get the portable treatment among those go-getter console modders out there, and it looks like it's not showing any signs of losing that status, with this so-called SNEP (Super Nintendo Entertainment Portable) only the latest to pop up on our radar. As you can see above, this one is a tad less portable than some other handheld SNES mods we've seen (it also apparently needs to be plugged in), but it does at least do better job than most at staying true to the SNES's (or, more accurately, the Super Famicom's) instantly-recognizable appearance.

I know I am late on posting about this, but that thing's hilarious. Having to be plugged in kind of kills the portability in lots of cases, but it's still pretty convenient. If you could put two together to do two player games, that'd be neat.
The video and the picture of the SNEP give the built-in screen a bad name...

I've never heard of ANY SNES console mod thing, though. That seems really interesting, 'cause even the PSP cannot run every SNES game, especially not full-speed, though the emulator-maker guys still do a good job.
