That's actually pretty incredible. I'm in school for Computer Engineering and I just started learning VHDL. The project I'm working on right now is to code a simple CPU that can preform 4 simple instructions. The fact their engineers were able to take the NES hardware, essentially reverse engineer it, then code it to an FPGA is crazy. And not only to recreate the original hardware, but make it better?! That's what blows my mind. 
 
I saw a lot of the YouTube comments were like "lol just emulate it", but that is not the same. Those emulators simply simulate the original hardware, this is the original hardware; arguably better. 

Not a lot of posts here, so I thought I should post something just for fun.
I'm currently a student studying computer engineering at UIC, and as a final project for a class last semester I made two LCD mini-games. 
I wired and programmed the whole thing myself over the course of a month or so.
 
 

Now that you mention it, I actually did carry it around in a briefcase...
