What, you weren't satisfied with your NES controller
optical mouse? You wanted something a little more panache, with a certain je ne sais quoi, oui? Enter the
NES TV remote. Besides, it makes a lot more sense than a mouse—hey, the NES controller belongs in your living room,
buddy. Ah, yes, janky hacks that poignantly remind us of the folly of youth. Ok, so what's next on the list, NES
controller flash audio player, NES controller cellphone, or NES controller laptop?

"Je ne sais quoi," perhaps? Unless you were purposely trying to avoid the cliche.
#1, the French used is appropriate for Engadget editor(s), as it implicitly means "I don't have a clue"...
#2, Thanks. I didn't have a clue.
I'm holding out for the NES controller Ipod.
Now THAT would be worth it.
I heard that someone hooked one of those up to a Nintendo system!
Sorry France! I took Japanese back in HS/college.
Best,

would someone pleeease build an ipod shuffle in that thing (and publish the how-to)?
Nice idea ! Should sell this as a universal remote. Price 9-14 $ BIG RUNNER for shure !

NES Controller Flash audio player??
Give me about a week or two and I can make it happen.
And if any Flash designers/developers wanna take me on, contact me on my site's contact page, and we can mke this happen.
What we need next is an NES controller that PLAYS DOOM!
This gives me inspiration.
Im going to go create a nes controller to cellphone mod.
Waste of a good nintendo controler.
- just kidding that's pretty sweet
I would like you and your friends who made these projects on the base of an NES controller to submit them to factories that will mass-produce and sell them to stores. People will flock for NES controller style items (e.g. computer mouse, TV remote, MP3 player, etc.). Do you think it would be a good idea? Maybe you could set a royalty payment plan in case Nintendo sues you guys.
