I was curious if anyone knows if theres such a thing? I've seen controllers that plug into a usb, but is there Audio/video cables to hook up a Ninetendo Entertainmant System to a Mac?

In my spare time, I try my best to do retro reviews for StrangeKidsClub.com and it would be awesome for me to hookup a NES to my computer at work and write a review on my downtime. My office is small and I don't want to waste $$$ on a small tv.
 
Why don't you just use an emulator? The results will be superior to plugging in a console to the PC over a USB connection

There should be all sorts of ways to hook it up if you want to use the real thing.

Anything that looks vaguely like this and works with Mac should do the trick. Although note, it is a heck of a lot more expensive than a used 19" TV would cost at the thrift store.

I have an ION USB vcr and that works too. However the emulator looks a heck of a lot better.
 
I have the HD tuner/video capture card from the Apple store -- I believe it's called the EyeTV. Works great, but it's overkill if all you want to do is video capture.

Lots of options out there.
