So many awesome projects have integrated the Nintendo controller design that it’s almost becoming a clich�. I said almost. The NES Coffee Table is among some of the most awesome mods we’ve ever seen and we’ve seen some doozies. Not only is ...

If the people over at King Deco were itching to create the “least likely to be used” gaming consoles, they have succeeded with full honors! In order to rock these hideous creations, you have to ship your ...

The NES console was a major turning point in the history of gaming. It probably doesn’t get enough credit for the influence it had on the gaming world and how it was the bridge between Atari and modern-day video gaming. Javier Segovia is a digital industrial designer who just so happens to believe it’s time for the old Nintendo Entertainment ...

If you can deal with the life-altering mutations and the screams of children as they gaze upon your disfigured face, there are some benefits to living right next to a nuclear power plant.
