If you’ve been dying to play your NES on the go but don’t to build your own portable device you should check out the recently announced FC Mobile II.

As you can see, the FC Mobile II looks like what you’d expect from a handheld console except it’s bundled with 2 wireless controllers and a Duck Hunt-esque light gun. So, it’s safe to say you’ll be able to connect this thing to an external monitor.

OhGizmo says the FC Mobile II is expected to ship sometime next month for a none-too-bad price of $60, I want one.
