Super Nintendo controller table signals a trend

Remember that fad where everyone had dining room tables of their favorite Disney character? Or the age in the 70s where tables were shaped like lava lamps? No? At any rate, the modders over at SCAD Inc. have spent all summer crafting a fully-functional Super Nintendo controller-table, which reminds us an awful lot of the fully-functional NES controller-table we saw in May of this year. So, which geek is gonna take on the N64 controller table? Or better yet, the Virtual Boy?

I'd tap that ish rite there!

[Dylan @ Aug 30th 2008 10:44PM]

I'm holding out for the Zapper. Why use a puny little sidearm when you can have a fully functional cannon? :)

[Sudo @ Aug 30th 2008 11:00PM]

With Nerf gun attachment to be "fully" functional.

One of the true signs of a player/bachlor. Wonder of the same can be done with a PS3 or xbox 360 controller?

[Jack @ Aug 30th 2008 11:16PM]

Or Wii...lol.

[computer.dude.28 @ Aug 30th 2008 11:50PM]

Yeah a Wiimote would make a great bar!

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Aug 30th 2008 10:47PM]

I'm gonna make a dual shock 3 table, estimated time of completion. Next Summer. a WORKING ONE AT THAT.
Already working on a giant working PSP with my 40inch sammy lcd.

[oZone @ Aug 30th 2008 10:49PM]

THIS would be baller as hell.

[lorddshadow @ Aug 30th 2008 11:22PM]

what's the point of a nonportable playstation portable?

[computer.dude.28 @ Aug 31st 2008 12:09AM]

Irony.

[SOOPERGOOMAN @ Aug 31st 2008 8:20AM]

See i won the original PSP2TV system and that is how I am going to run my connecetions to my psp, well its the main for video. I just wonder how I am going to make the buttons and the shoulder buttons. I'll figure it out but it will be exact to scale.

Why So Serious?

[Ian @ Aug 30th 2008 10:49PM]

i want to play that.

[oZone @ Aug 30th 2008 10:49PM]

I think the analog stick might just get in the way a little too much.

[prime @ Aug 30th 2008 11:09PM]

how about a super famicom controller too........lol

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Aug 30th 2008 11:14PM]

I'd rather have a working Nintendo DS or PSP table.

[I LOVE THE CAPS LOCK KEY @ Sep 1st 2008 12:09AM]

Using a 60" Pioneer Kuro for the PSP's display,. would be freaking awesome!

[Carl Vitullo @ Aug 30th 2008 11:17PM]

Anyone want to donate a few grand and a huge injection mold? I'd make the N64 one :)

[Lionbacker @ Aug 30th 2008 11:23PM]

An N64 one would BLOW MY MIND.

[Dylan @ Aug 30th 2008 11:24PM]

this is just sad, i don't know what else to say.

[Reader @ Aug 31st 2008 2:27AM]

Well not all of us get to spend 24/7 curing AIDS and cancer or whatever useful thing you must do with your life to have any say in how this guy spends his free time.

[ryguy @ Aug 30th 2008 11:26PM]

hmmm.. a giant N64 controller wouldn't make a very good table. At that point, you're just wasting space.

The Wii controller would work as a table, if it didn't have to be wiggled and tossed around. You'd need a group of friends to play a game with that thing. What other flat controllers would serve as good tables?

[Tom Reinke @ Aug 30th 2008 11:34PM]

I can see a dualshock being an okay table... but all other controllers I can think up of off the top of my head would be too rounded and wouldn't be able to have things on top of them, and TBH - the dualshock wouldn't sit flush with the ground anyways, the top of it would be tilted.

[JR @ Aug 31st 2008 12:16AM]

Haha, an N64 controller table would be almost as user-unfriendly as the controller itself.

[tha-don @ Aug 31st 2008 2:34AM]

you could make an atari controller endstand where you use the joystick as a flower vase er somethin gay like that.

[Kizul Emeraldfire @ Aug 31st 2008 9:45AM]

No — but it WOULD make an awesome futuristic racing car body! :D Think Star Wars Episode I Racer, F-Zero, or Wipeout XL.

[mr_mushu_13 @ Aug 30th 2008 11:28PM]

Just a note, it isn't completed. Currently just the controller/tabletop is done, no legs yet.
Still sweet though!

[V Langs @ Aug 30th 2008 11:28PM]

genesis.....

[esoterikal @ Aug 30th 2008 11:37PM]

How about an intellivision/colecovision controller table? with ENORMOUS inserts!

[BigD145 @ Aug 30th 2008 11:41PM]

We need a Virtual Boy large enough to fit your standard Bob's Big Boy.

[Crooked Style @ Aug 30th 2008 11:49PM]

come on where is virtual boy?

[computer.dude.28 @ Aug 30th 2008 11:51PM]

AWESOME.

[dave @ Aug 31st 2008 1:37AM]

What is that nasty stained cushion thing it's sitting on? GROSS!

[stagueve @ Aug 31st 2008 8:19AM]

You can see it in action (Video) on my blog : http://www.nowhereelse.fr/?p=10283

[cypherstream @ Aug 31st 2008 9:05AM]

Thats awesome!

I always grew up using the ASCII Pad though. Also I've wondered why the US release only uses two colors for the ABXY buttons, while the Japanese release uses 4 colors?

[wayne @ Aug 31st 2008 10:49AM]

dont talk shit about the virtual boy. that thing is great. i still play mine.

[Henrybx @ Aug 31st 2008 10:56AM]

Cool. Lets push the start button!

[Lloytron @ Aug 31st 2008 11:38AM]

50 quid says the guy that built it can't pull off a strong dragon punch with that thing!

[gavinovz @ Aug 31st 2008 10:16PM]

I bet playing Star Fox would rock with that controller.
