  • Check out the detailed description of how I made it (as well as other video game related projects I've done) here:
    ultra-awesome.b...
    Hello, I've been working on this for a few months now.
    A while ago I decided I was running out of room for many many videogames and their boxes etc. (I'm one of those fanatics who insists on having everything with original boxes).
    So I built this, to replace my current coffee table, it has space inside it to store game boxes etc.
    Made from MDF and painted with a variety of oil based and acrylic paints.

    what happens if someone actually spills something on the table?

    Omg if that table wasnt $5,000 I would totally buy one!!!!

      It's really cheap to make, cheaper if you buy or get a free coffee table from Craigslist. The only hard parts, depending on your craftsmanship skills will either be cutting/routing the wood or doing the wiring for the buttons.

    I think about this video sometimes, that and the how to build the nintoaster instruction video. Having nostalgia over 14 year old videos of people having nostalgia for 80s tech. That's layered meta-nostalgia

    Looks amazing great work and effort put into it.
    The NES controller has to be the most iconic one of the whole computer games industry, i even have a belt buckles shaped like one and a decal for my wii remote to look like one.

  • @silntdoogood
    @silntdoogood Před 15 lety

    I've been thinking about doing one of these, you really didn't need to jump the original controller, they aren't that hard to do from scratch, but at any rate, thought "hmm, lets check if anyone else did this.." and you passed my expectations in quality and functionality, giving it a purpose when not in use-nice, and the projector to go along with it-man I want one of those sooo bad!
    Nice work.

  • @MynamesPhilip
    @MynamesPhilip Před 16 lety

    I can't stand having games that are just bought without the wonderful original case or anything. It makes me sad just owning a cartridge, so I know how you feel.
    But, what the flip! You made a giant NES controller. That just about proves that you're one wonderful person.

    @khdownes1  Před 14 lety

    @dballs442 It's actually not bad at all.
    The buttons respond immediately (I can adjust how far you need to push them before they contact too).
    The D-pad is really responsive, it rocks really well on its axis (I'm actually really proud of the way I designed the rocking mechanism).
    It's kind of hard to do the run-and-jump action with the a+b buttons simultaneously because of the size.
    But in reality, I've barely ever actually played this thing. It's just a great visual centerpiece + for storage.

  • @khdownes1
    @khdownes1  Před 16 lety

    A lot of people have suggested this but I don't agree.
    I prefer having the console external so the controller actually plugs into it.
    Putting the console inside would make it cleaner, but having the console external just completes the quirkiness of it.

  • @reddemunn
    @reddemunn Před 16 lety

    Wow, wasn't expecting pushable buttons at all, much less a working version. Good job. My only complaint is the wiring should come out the top of the controller.
