Modded By Bacteria is a site where members can get together and discuss [video game modifications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ngc-mod-kit) and new perks and twists they have discovered in the video game world. Hailrazer loved playing games on his Nintedo 64 console, but the old 64-bit gaming system is not portable. Using a [Game Boy Advance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epilogue-gb-operator), a special case and some extensive modding experience, he was able to make the N64 handheld. The N64 Gameboy Advance features the same joystick calibrations as the N64 controller just with slightly different positions. The gaming experience is responsive and easy to play, as Hailrazer demonstrates in the video above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **DIY Gaming:** Opportunity for individuals to create custom gaming experiences using their favorite consoles and handheld devices. - **Modding Community:** Growing community of gamers sharing modifications and twists for video game consoles. - **Portability in Gaming:** Increasing demand for portable gaming devices that allow users to play their favorite console games on the go. ### Where This Applies - **Gaming Hardware:** Innovative companies can develop and manufacture portable gaming devices that can be customized and modded by consumers. - **Online Communities:** Platform developers can create online communities specifically tailored to gamers interested in discussing and sharing video game modifications. - **Consumer Electronics:** Opportunity for consumer electronics companies to create accessories that enhance the gaming experience and allow for portability. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [See-Through Cartridge Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modretro-m64.md) - [Retro Handheld Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modretro.md) - [Foldable Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-flip-concept.md) - [Heavy Duty Handheld Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gba-sp.md) - [Portable Game Device Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/game-boy-mini-camera.md) - [Millennium-Inspired Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anbernic-rg34xx.md) - [Compact Retro-Inspired Handhelds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-pixel-pocket.md) - [Nostalgic Mobile Gaming Adapters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epilogue-gb-operator.md) - [Vibrant Retro Handheld Gaming](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-classic.md)
