Talented Crafter Recreates NES and TV Playing Games in Felt


I’m not sure if this classes as a person with too much time on their hands, or talented individual showing just how far they can push their crafting skills.

Over at Craftster a forum poster going by the name of bluebythe, known in real life as Canadian artist Blythe Church, has managed to create a plush version of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES).

The felt project didn’t stop at just the rectangular box with the right color scheme, buttons, and branding, though. The flap on the front of the NES peels back to allow you to insert the recreation of either the Mario 3 or Duck Hunt cartridges. There’s also the NES controller and gun to plug in.

Still not impressed? How about the recreation of the 14″ TV with interchangeable felt screens that make it look like the right NES game is being played depending on which cartridge you have inserted!?

I’d go so far as saying this setup could make kids cry. It looks so realistic an excited small child spotting it and thinking some video games
are on the cards is in for a really big disappointment. If that disappointment leads to a throwing rage there’s no need to worry as this NES is going to survive hitting a wall unlike the original, real console.

Total project time was two weeks and I think this is the best video games plush I’ve ever seen. If you’ve seen better post a link in the comments below.
