Love Hultén a Swedish designer has created a handmade wooden portable games console called the Pixel Vision which has taken to Kickstarter to raise the funds it requires to go into production.

The Pixel Vision offers the ability to play NES, Atari 2600, and original Game Boy titles. Watch the video below to learn more about this awesome handheld emulator that is truly unique when compared to the other plastic systems currently available.
My name is Love Hultén, and I’m a craftsman, designer and game enthusiast from Sweden. My handmade consoles are all personal tributes to a time when limitations created masterpieces using only a few pixels, but they are also nostalgic visions in a world of throwaway excess and economic efficiency gone awry.
Meet Pixel Vision, a handmade pocket sized portable game system made from solid walnut. This foldable console, inspired by the Game Boy Advance SP, measures only 95x95x45mm and is built around a system emulating classic consoles like the NES, Atari 2600, Game Boy and many more. Pixel Vision lets you enjoy the classic in first class, and can store over 10.000 games. Add your own favorites through USB and create a personal game library. The unit provides eight hours of gaming per charge and the custom made soft case keeps the unit well protected from external damage when on the run.
Apart from the 500 consoles, 20 additional “Pearl” units will be made. The “Pearl” units have D-Pad & buttons made from solid brass, shimmering matte black panels and an exclusive inlay on top, made from genuine Mother of pearl shell veneer. These extremely limited editions are signed and numbered, and comes with a collectors certificate.
