Mignonette is a do-it-yourself electronic game console, created by EVIL MAD SCIENTIST, Rolf van Widenfelt and Mitch Altman, to let every gamer out there learn about soldering, microcontrollers, and game programming.
The original idea comes from the Mignon Game Kit that was done in Germany several years ago. The Mignonette is based on an AVR microcontroller (either the ATmega88 or ATmega168) hooked up to drive a 5x7 bicolor red/green LED matrix display. Basically this is a 70 bits gaming console...

UZEBOX is a retro-minimalist homebrew game console easy and fun to assemble. It is based on an AVR 8-bit general purpose microcontroller made by Atmel and games can be easely programmed in C. The design goal was to be as simple as possible yet have good enough sound and graphics while leaving enough resources to implement interesting games. It eve ngot a Midi port for Chiptuners out there!

Yesterday Linx Products has released  the Super Nicofami a new hybrid 8Bit/16 Bit console that will let you play  Famicom/Nes  games and  Super Famicom games.
There are already similar consoles on the market, but the Super Nicofami seems to be one of the best with a pretty cool retro design and an interesting price tag (7980 Yen)
