- 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?
Is it just me or is it Blurb
Then its [GAME OVER]
Hum...
Game over man, game over.
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.
Do you mean to tell me that the hard part is the hardest part?
@@CottonTheMoth I had to congratulate you on this comment, well done.
It's astounding what some people can do
finally there is a controller for king kong now
@ Godzilla’s hands are actually larger than you think
That controller is fucking incredible
if that was a NES advantage
I would pay a big load for that table. The creativity of the creator is admirable, and the fact that he loves gaming that much sure is too.
Favorited!
I rarely see such massive win. You sir deserve many pats on the back and great fortune as a reward for your talents.
Even if it didn't work it would still be awesome!
my money
just fucking take it
kay mr. president
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.
GENIUS!
I NEED THAT IN MY ROOM
If I had this, my parents would never be able to complain that the control is too small! This is pretty awesome. Now you can play two players on a singleplayer game. Great for teambuilding skills!
This video still amazes me! It would make a really badass coffee table for a finished basement. The fact that it's actually functional is just awesome!
what a messy house
Thanks, ProtoMario.
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.
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.
I love how you nailed the matte finish of the controllers. Very well done paint job.
What an amazing tribute to the greatest controller of all time!
Wow. Just wow. This is one of the most badass things I've EVER seen on CZcams. Ever.
How could anyone not like this?! This is the best thing I've seen all year! I VANT!
I read about this on Cnet months ago, congratulations on your work, what you've done is so awesome.
the coffee mug would pounce off when placed on top of that table because of the awesomeness that table possesses
Praise the power of determination to make a kickass thing like that
wow that is great, I'd love to see one of the big advantage controllers done like that
That is the most beautiful table I've ever seen.
Awesome piece of functional art! Very retro-rad!!
That would be hard to play with, BUT, it would make such an awesome coffee table and conversation piece!
Genius. Looks professional as hell.
very impressive, you should work as a set maker in the movie industry, you do real clean work.
Impressive! That must have taken a lot of work and money, I envy people who use their time for art like this! nice job!
OH MY GOD!! YOU'RE AWESOME!! TO BUILD A GIANT NES CONTROLLER ITS SO INCREDIBLE!!! Like a table and like a giant controller.... YOURE INCREDIBLE!!!
I have never seen anything as cool as this
So great to still see this classic video 😄👌
Practically impossible to tell that it's made of wood in this video. Really great.
Love the Jim Morrison shirt, very classy! awesome engineering too by the way
Why would you dislike this video? Awesome prodject man! Love the pics of the work in progress and the music fits perfectly! Good job & a big thumbs up!!!!
I haven't seen such an awesome thing for ages! I would buy such a table!!!
OMG!!! a girl made this????
WOWSERS!!!
The table looks great, the buttons looks so real and moves around like the real thing. Wouldn't you need a manufacturer that builds or create plastic to mould a shape like that?
That has to be the most awsome thing i've ever seen and will ever see again. I would kill to have one... Great job and five thumbs up!
Tis is sick! I mean first the toaster vid and now a coffeetable dude old sckool is AWESOME
More than 1 million people have seen your dirty house. That controller is amazing!
Yeah, I had heaaapps of fun building it.
In fact making it was the funnest part, I've barely actually played it since I finished it, I need to think of another project to work on this summer.
LOL, that's amazing! On a side note, I've done that same thing before with having two people play with one controller, only on a normal sized controller. It can be rather amusing ^^
Awesomeness Level?
ITS OVER 9000!!!!
One of the best things I've ever seen.
@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.
sie muss die fröhlichste Person der Welt sein so Klasse das teil , schade das es sowas einfach nicht zu kaufen gibt -.-
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.
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.
Thank you so much. I have spare MDF laying in my room, as well as way too many video games (and systems... and their boxes) cluttering up my room. Yes.... Yes. Hell, maybe I could just put all those old nintendo powers in there!
That is INSANE and incredibly awesome.
Mark, from cgrhd, always say... A controller is good when its bigger then the console your playin on. And when he see's this he go's like WOW
Wow, I'm really impressed! Fantastic job! I also checked the blog, and it's amazing!
saw this in the herald sun. great work!
That's badass I'd love to have that in my living room. If you walked into someone's house and saw that in their living room, you'd know they're a gamer. xD
WOW!!!! congratulations!! that's a very well done work, and very detailed ..... wow I love it
This is the coolest thing i've ever seen
Nice idea for a Nintendo museum...
Literally the coolest thing ever.
You are very talented, man, great job.
Maaan you're amazing!
Great work, it look gorgeous!
wow? my grandma told me video game controllers were big back in the day but i didnt know this big!
This has to be the coolest thing ever
This is just pure EPICNESS.
Keep it up, that's friggin' BEAST!
Well, have to admit, I'm extremely impressed.
I'm not sure if I've commented on this before, but I'm REAL impressed.
My dad and I are working on something similar to this.
I'm crediting the idea to you and all, just saying ^.^
well that is one neat coffee table.
A table and a controller damn this is perfect when you are high as the sky
Must have been a hell of a good summer.
Nicely Done. Looks Spot on Professional.
Awesome work! Great piece of art and its practical and fun to use! Actually works with the NES as a controller! I saw something similar on "Attack of the Show" on G4 years ago.
Just don't spill any coffee on this table, though, LOL!
i never wanted a coffee table until this video... now i also want coffee thanx alot
thats awsome it has to be some kind of record for largest nes controller
Magnificent! This is why my generation kicks ass.
That's AMAZINGLY awesome.
Wait... So it actually WORKS!? Wow, epicest thing to put coffe on EVAR!
@bpmagruder
Yes that is SMB3, being played straight from a good old fashioned NES, and displayed on a silk screen trough a projector.
Great idea. Nice work building it, too!!
Whoa that's so weird! I saw a giant NES controller on display in someone's front yard around my block and now I find THIS on youtube.
fantastic mate,it looks really well made!Practical and playable! sweet as f*ck!! I especially liked the two player co-op play with one doing the moving and the other the jumping!
great idea for storing the games/consoles/cables etc and it looked ace with the glass top on.Good taste in reading material too!
Sweet Zombie Jesus, best coffee table ever. I want to buy one
"ever had problem with too small buttons on your controller? Fear not! the GIANT CONTROLLER IS NOW HERE!"
thats a pretty badass controller
I'd love to have a coffee table that looked like that, It wouldn't have to be able to play the games, it just looked cool. and the reason I think people are saying it's fake is because there's no footage of them playing the game all we hear are sounds. I think it's real though.
Thats incredible work man, truly inspiring. Keep it up! Much love for the NES!!
@born2prank97 Old Mario has powers too. Mushrooms that make you bigger. Flowers that give you fire balls. And in 3, you can get tails that allow you to fly, etc. I love classic Mario.
This is fantastic! Well done!
.....this is the culmination of all that is good in this world....god bless you....
That's gotta be hard to play with. Nice team work!
That is the coolest nes thing ever
For some reason, I feel like this should have been in that movie Big with Tom Hanks, lol. But its pretty awesome!
thats rediculously cool.
thats pretty cool nes coffee table
I'd love to play with that...and the controller looks fun, too. ;-)
Very cool and creative! Good job!
That looks amazing, wouldn't mind having one of those!
That's tight! I wish I was able to make one like that.
That's friggin' outrageous! Love it!!
