James Channel SNES Portable Recreation

[Bubberiffic]

This is my faithful replica of the James Channel $60 SNES Portable.

I built it in November of 2025 and it matches almost everything on James' Portable. The only things that aren't the same is the power switch and the controller, which is not a PAL controller. Other than that, it is an extremely faithful recreation, and I wanted to end the year with something fun.

I still made sure to use a Famicom controller that matched James' beautiful button colors from his original masterpiece. If you have any questions about how I made it, please reach out in the replies!

I like it
It looks as “great” as the original!

One question though, did it cost $60?
