Sewtendo brings the hand sewn Nintendo nostalgia


No idea if Blythe relied on the Brother Innovis sewing machine in order to construct his latest pieces, but the nostalgic arrangement of hand sewn Nintendo merchandise sure brings back a myriad of fond memories regardless. Currently residing at Argyle Fine Art, these works consist of a sewn television, NES console, controller, Zapper, and interchangeable screens with Super Mario Bros. 3 and Duck Hunt (the unreleased immobile versions, apparently) as your game options.

Nintendo playhouse returns us to childhood innocence


Fanboys (and girls) with enough cashflow and skill can certainly drop a few jaws with their heartfelt creations / collections, and while the Mac cathedral certainly holds a special place in the hearts of Apple freaks abroad, the Nintendo playhouse doesn't fare too badly either. While the production certainly isn't perfect from an architectural viewpoint, the creativity and sheer brilliance of such a domicile is worthy of applause, as the life-sized Game Boy, littering of characters, and barrage of retro inspirations are enough to make just about anyone show some respect. Unfortunately, we've absolutely no idea where in the world this palace is located, but until the quest to locate it finally concludes, be sure and hit the read link for homegrown Nintendo mania.

UPDATE: We've been informed that this was a part of the spring carnival at Carnegie Mellon University, and we owe this honor to Sigma Phi Epsilon, who had the hand in constructing it. Kudos!
