Giant Nintendo Controller Coffee Table

Giant Nintendo Controller Coffee Table

I want one of these for my living room. I would love to play Super Mario 3 on this big ass controller!

I'd just leave the glass off, and do a different one with legs under it like other coffee tables. That one's more of a storage box/chest with the controller on top.

Imagine what Track and Field would be like.

That would be perfect for my office. Not sure the better half would let me put that out in the living room.

That is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind a giant Guitar Hero controller table either.

Can you imagine playing Track & Field on this thing, having to smash the A & B buttons with both fists??

Haha. If it could handle it, I would actually get on top of it and run in place, Power-Pad style.

I hate Nintendo & everything it stands for, but even I wouldn't mind having one of those.

I'd love to explain, but I've been vocal enough about my feelings toward Nintendo, especially the Wii.

That table would be one Hell of a conversation piece though.

I'd just build a giant pencil and then have a friend help me roll it over those buttons.

that's a killer coffee table, but it doesn't seem very practical as a useable controller. still, i admire him for making it functional.

Maybe I'm in the minority...but that's just over the top dorky. No way I'd have one of those in my house.

Yet you have an Xbox? I'm just curious, but I can understand not liking Nintendo's games or hating the Wii, but everything Nintendo stands for? That's funny. The stand for making video games and consoles. Microsoft stands for trying to put ever technology company that is remotely successful out of business. Isn't that worse?

Don't turn this into one of those threads.

It is a pretty cool table, I'd love to have one.
