Now you can send a Twitter feed to your old school Nintendo

An open source project called ConnectedNES lets you view a Twitter feed with your 8-bit Nintendo system, The Verge reports.

Okay, it takes a little more than just a Nintendo: the project uses a customized cartridge and controller, along with a WiFi-enabled Particle Photon computer (optionally wrapped in a needlepointed cozy) and a cloud server that talks to Twitter, explains developer Rachel Weil.

Happy to announce ConnectedNES, a ~super-cute~ WiFi-enabled NES + 8-bit twitter client. https://t.co/vhQ48Cnyc1 pic.twitter.com/eWjj0SkQKu
