Craft Corner: NES plush
If we had a stuffed Mario doll, we'd probably sleep with him clutched tightly against our chest. But, being the manliest of men that we are, we're too busy knifefighting and growing massive beards on our lantern-shaped jaws. Still, this kickass plush NES setup is impressive and we'll give credit where credit is due. Check out more pictures in the gallery below.%Gallery-4287%
NES controller makes the perfect coin purse?
Sometimes tearing apart a NES controller can be a very good thing. In this case, we'd have to say that such a fashion statement is unwarranted. We like it when the NES controller is improved through deconstruction and reassembly, not stripped of all of its functionality. Of course, using it as a template for delicious treats is also welcomed.Even considering that the controller was ripped apart and turned into something completely different, thus leaving the world with one less functional NES controller, that is a pretty clever idea for a wallet/coin purse. If you want to make one yourself, they have all the directions posted, along with pictures, allowing you to kill a bit of gaming history just as they have.[Via Infendo]
How much does nostalgia cost?
This story is really more geared for our wealthy oil tycoon readers, to tell the truth, however us smaller lifeforms (according to that tycoon) on the planet might be get a kick out of it as well. See, Ebay user sonyabscott is selling one HUGE NES collection consisting of every North American released game on the system, as well as the system and, finally, every accessory. That's 670 cartridges ...If you won the auction, what would be the first game you'd play? For us, it'd be a close call between Bad Dudes (we're bad enough to save the President from ninjas, y'know) and Burgertime.[Via Joystiq]
