Thretris creates these awesome custom painted NES consoles. Pictured here are the Kill Bill, 80’s and Sky themes.
My girlfriend has been begging me for an original NES system for Christmas. Now if I can just get her a custom painted pink and girly console, we’ll be set.
I’ve debated building a shrine to the NES for years now, but I’ve never actually gotten around to acting on the idea. Spotted over at the Super Potato retro gaming store in Akihabara, Japan, this 7-foot tall throne was made entirely out of Famicom cartridges, creating an apt shrine for the gamer who demands to be the king of his own domain.
Things have really changed since the days of NES game releases. Ok, maybe things haven’t changed that much.
These wheatpaste game covers are the result of AltrdBst’s handy work. Taking us back to the good ole’ days when racism was acceptable and assassination was expected.
The title of this post is in no way misleading. This is an actual working guitar made using an NES console! This must be the coolest damn mash-up in gaming history. I’ve heard people say gaming rocks, but this is ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome. Awesomely ridiculous. Awdiculous.
Including Donkey Kong knobs and Mario switches, check out the video after the jump to get a feel for how NES-ified this guitar actually is.
I don’t know about where you’re from, how could I? But I do know that in these parts, winter means frigid temperatures. Jersey gets the best (and worst) of both worlds. Extreme heat and intense cold.
The heat part is easy, all I have to do is walk around naked. It’s the chilliness that starts getting tricky. Out come the layers and bye-bye goes the skin. Unfortunately for Grandma, I have a new pattern I’m going to physically force her to knit. These Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers will keep me and my family’s wrists warm this season, all cozy under our Mario hoodies. Even if my wrists get more activity than they should, they still get frigid in the chilly Jersey winter.
And you thought the six boss battles were tough when there WASN’T 54 square blocks in need of organizing.
The Mega Man Boss Battle Rubik’s Cube features scenes from all six boss battles. Your job is to complete the images, finessing all of the blocks to their proper positions using only your plasma arm cannon. But can you do it underwater?
I have a confession. A few years ago we sort of lied to you by saying that the old NES Coffee Table was actually a coffee table. In actuality, it was more like a NES Controller trunk, not a proper table at all. Luckily, if you’re really, really into geeky household shit, there is currently a real NES Controller coffee table available on eBay.
There’s already 4 bids less than a day in, so you best get a move on if you want to grab this thing for less than a fortune.
A generous Instructible user laid out the step-by-step process of building your own custom Nintendo bartop cabinet. Warning: Two cases of Diet Coke are required for completion.
This cabinet supplies you with your very own personal NES arcade console, compact into one arcade-ish interface.
This amusing animated video by shamoozal takes a comical eye to the process of hooking up the classic NES gaming console. Nintendo might have started a gaming revolution with the NES, but thank the gaming lord that the hook up process has changed some.
Follow the rules in this video and you might just live to play a game or two.
Start praying, right now, that your boss is a gamer. Because if not, your Banpresto Famicon Controller Business Card Holder might not have the impression you were hoping for.
Needless to say, this case isn’t going to work for every career. Lawyers and doctors would likely be better off with a nice leather case, or at least something with a bit more class. But if you’re in the tech, internet or art industry, I don’t see why you can’t rock this like the Rolling Stones rocked Altamont.
