Nick Alvarez, the electrical engineer and maker who posts as NickBuilds and Nickbuildstuff, decided a regular Game Boy Color was too small for what he had in mind. He built one that stands ten feet tall and still accepts button presses, volume twists, and game input the way the 1998 original did.
Super Buzzy Yoshi released Super Mario World Remastered for PC this week as a custom campaign inside Super Mario Bros. X2. You install SMBX2 Beta 5 Patch 4 first, drop the project folder into the worlds directory, then pick the campaign from the list on the left side of the screen. The entire adventure runs through the fan engine, thus no standalone executable or ROM file is required.
BLAVOR squeezed a 20,000mAh cell, four built-in cables, a Qi pad, a solar slab, and a pair of lights into an orange ABS-and-PC shell that weighs about 1.7 pounds. You clip the included carabiner to a pack strap and the whole solar charger power bank, priced at $39.94 (was $57), hangs there like extra camp gear instead of another loose brick in the bottom of a bag. Ports sit under silicone flaps, the body is rated IPX5, and the company lists overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and short-circuit protection so the pack is meant to live in damp weather rather than on a nightstand.
Range Rover Electric finally arrived this week after a delayed decade of work, and order books are open now for the 2027 model. JLR kept the fifth-generation silhouette almost intact, then fitted an aero grille, cleaner wheels, and a smoothed underbody so the big SUV still looks like a Range Rover from across a parking lot. Solihull builds it next to the petrol and plug-in versions, while Wolverhampton makes the battery packs and drive units. Martin Limpert, Range Rover’s managing director, called electric propulsion a natural match for the cabin’s calm, and he also said the company pushed testing further than first planned so the car would still feel like the original luxury SUV.
