Breaking Bad: The NES Cartridge

By

It’s ok, my jaw dropped too. You can slowly put it back in place. Who wouldn’t want a Breaking Bad (Bad Breaker! – very clever!) inspired NES cart? This is one of many fine NES cartidge artistic works by some very talented artists at 72 Pins.

These created items use classic NES cartridges recycled as an art canvas. Inside the cart, you will find a random vintage game from the original NES lineup that still works! Very cool indeed. All profits go directly to supporting the artists and the teams involved in the creation of these carts.

Check out the rest of their range down below and then hit their site to support the artists!

Mario And The Power Glove

Add Mario, a successful video gaming character, and then add the Power Glove, the coolest and most useless peripheral on the NES, or is it? This silent serial film (by Nerdist) finds a cosplay Mario thrust into a wild adventure when he is given an enchanted Power Glove by a mystical hobo (Parenthood’s Jason Ritter) and must do battle with an overzealous security guard and an evil Luigi (Alphas’ Ryan Cartwright) after sneaking into the San Diego Comic-Con to win the heart of his cosplay princess, Peach.

NES Case Mod Wars: Zelda vs Mega Man

By

There is no doubting the nostalgic factor of the Nintendo Entertainment System (or more accurately and affectionately known as the NES).

Some of us even go so far as to morph the grey shoe-box into their favourite gaming franchise. A befitting tribute indeed. The backlit Zelda and Mega Man modifications on these NES cases are one of the best I have seen in a while. Check them out.
