Eight foot, 400 pound NES replica FTW

If you've been looking for a hugemongous NES to match with your 8-foot NES controller -- and happen to have around 400 pounds of wood just lying around -- you're in luck, since the NES-obsessed operator of the National Game Depot is "97% finished" with a project to build just such a box. Sadly, it doesn't look like this 8-foot x 3-foot x 3-foot monstrosity is going to be operational. Right now it's destined as this guy's entertainment center, since his original plan to use it as a bed was a bit too creep-o. There's also no word if our ancient methods of blowing inside and bopping the top of the unit will lend any magic to its workability, but it's always nice to have a place to store a few discarded koopa shells and 1UP 'shrooms all the same, and we suppose a TV or two couldn't hurt anything.

woot!!11one!!!11 That'll be great.... all you need to make it work is take apart an NES, put it in the game pak hole, and move the controller ports to the place they would be on there

I for one welcome our oversized retro gaming console overlords.

This rivals the PS3.

I think it would make an awesome bed. If it were big enough you could put the bed where the carts go and close the lid at night. xD

[XJ @ Oct 2nd 2006 9:52PM]

why not have it double as a bed and an entertainment center, it's big enough XD

That is sweet, i think he should make it a working NES. Make some scale cartidges too and put the real ones inside them!

Oops, killed their bandwidth. ):

one way to know someone has no sex life is that theyd seriously consider this for a bed ;)

[Spencer @ Oct 2nd 2006 10:48PM]

"one way to know someone has no sex life is that theyd seriously consider this for a bed ;)"

Are you kidding? My calculations indicate anyone with a NES bed would instantly see an increase in their sexual activity of over 700%!

(of course, 7 x 0 is still 0...)

I wonder if you can fit a corpse into the slot like a cartridge.

[dave @ Oct 3rd 2006 12:46AM]

I want to be buried in that!

[jc @ Oct 3rd 2006 1:22AM]

wow it has the blinking red light of doom too!

[timbobsteve @ Oct 3rd 2006 2:34AM]

There is nothing creepy about sleeping in this. I did like one posters comment about using it as a coffin. I want something similar when I die. Perhaps something more shaped like a layed out person.

[tehuberone @ Oct 3rd 2006 2:43AM]

Nuke the Whales.

[tehuberone @ Oct 3rd 2006 2:44AM]

I want that

[Ebzy @ Oct 3rd 2006 6:43AM]

@tehuberone WTF Dude

Nintendo fanboy speaking: I always believed Nintendo were the biggest of the three

If you can climb into this thing and play old school Nintendo - well, I think you'll have reached a state of nirvana.
