Papercraft NES and Dreamcast cost less, play just as many cutting edge games

Finally, your lovingly prepared SNES model is getting some well-heeled new friends to hang out with. Cubeecraft is a website wholly dedicated to the paper-based recreation of cultural icons, and it's prepared a pair of exquisitely detailed clones of the NES and Dreamcast. While some such projects might require patience and finesse, putting together the above templates doesn't even ask for any glue or tape. So what are you waiting for, grab your scissors and run to the links below for full 150dpi printouts -- just be sure to make the time for some imaginary Contra action afterwards.

I wonder how many people are going to use these, stuff the box with bricks and sell them dirt cheap as the actual console?

[JPeak Posted Jul 29th 2009 8:04PM]

Thirty bucks :)

[Tonezorz Posted Jul 29th 2009 7:36PM]

[CaramelZappa Posted Jul 29th 2009 8:01PM]

Typing of the Dead!

[Flo Posted Jul 29th 2009 7:44PM]

I miss my dreamcast.

You can visit it at my local GoodWill.

[CaramelZappa Posted Jul 29th 2009 8:04PM]

This papercraft is as awesome as it is old news. (Very)

[furquanatique Posted Jul 29th 2009 8:16PM]

That pun was utterly amusing, bravo...

Its The Botany Bay!

[kumquat Posted Jul 29th 2009 9:41PM]

Wow! Obscure!

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 30th 2009 12:54PM]

Sadly, I'm going to download this and build it.

Papercraft has caught my fancy for some weird reason.

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 29th 2009 9:18PM]

Hmm... I smell lawsuit. If McDonalds can get sued for not putting hot on their coffees, Engadget can get sued for telling people to run with scissors :)

[(Unverified) Posted Jul 29th 2009 10:11PM]

It's tiny when you make it! But I still love it nonetheless!

[The Shadow Posted Jul 29th 2009 10:25PM]

Picture looks like UV-mapping... no...

[thedankone Posted Jul 30th 2009 6:34PM]

is it just me or was the dreamcast the best system ever. those remotes and memory cards were sweet...plus who didn't like Seaman.

Kind of sad, cubeecraft has been on my bookmark toolbar for ages, I would think that someone in the engadget office would at least be watching this as well and wouldn't have had to scrape this off of another news site. If anything I would of rather had a link to Fx Consoles paper crafts and o hey technabob did an article on that one too so you can scrape that from them as well.

i would consider making these
