NES Coffee Table: Actually Works!

We love anything involving modded NES gear. This gorgeous gigantic Nintendo controller, which is also a coffee table, is no exception. Kyle Downes is the artist behind this awesome piece of furniture… and it actually works. He custom built a computer board into the thing. Inside, you can store lots of video game swag.

The glass on the table comes off when you’re ready to play. So ridiculously cool. Tim, I’d like to you start, post haste, on a fully functional N64 coffee table. I don’t care how hard it’ll be to click the trigger on the bottom… no, I also don’t care how hard it’ll be to handle the joystick… Tim, TIM. Get to work.

About Eric: Eric spends most of his time writing, taking pictures, reading, and hanging out with his (somewhat famous) chinchilla Mittens and bunny Rory. He teaches writing and literature at some local Philadelphia colleges and works in publishing. He knows absolutely nothing about sports, and is proud of it.

    I’m dyin’ over here. That thing is huge! However, that’s a huge *standard* controller. If you recall, Nintendo also had a really huge controller that you could buy as well. I forget what it was called but looking for it, I came across something else you might be amused by.

    Big damn NES controller is really a big damn PC
