GameStop lets you become the Nintendo 64 kid photo

Similar to the promotion GameStop ran for Left 4 Dead 2 in which you could become a zombie using a simple picture of yourself, Internet voodoo, and a whole lot of patience, there's a new one that turns you into the infamous Nintendo 64 kid.

Although, knowing most of you, chances are high it's going to be more historical figures, infants, and inanimate objects than your own personal mugshot that get uploaded. After about ten tries or so, I finally got the damn thing to accept a photo of Mr. Destructoid.

As you can plainly see, I have created a monster.

Years later, it's still adorable how the younger sister emulates the brother.

The first Easter after the N64 came out (was that 96 or 97? I forget), my family got me that holy grail of gaming. And I know, right, I'm fucking spoiled for getting gaming consoles as Easter presents. ANYWAYS, my reaction was exactly the same. I literally remember screaming "OH MY GOD, A NINTENDO 64!". If my family had a camcorder at that point in time, this would be a video of me. That warms my heart a bit. That, and the considerable amounts of alcohol I've consumed tonight.

I can't wait for someone to upload a picture of their cat. That Fight Night Round 4 cat boxer was great.

Can someone close the comments section? Because I'm pretty sure TheToiletDuck just won not just this thread, but the whole internets.

Yeah I can remember being the equivalent of that kid back in the day only my Christmas gift was a Sega Dreamcast and I completely didn't expect it because my parents were advent anti-videogame Nazis. Still are to this day but on that one Christmas, for no fucking reason, I got a Dreamcast, Sonic Adventure, and Tokyo Extreme Racer. I still refuse to believe my parents got me that and on launch year too. Wow. My anti-videogame Nazi parents.

Best Christmas ever. Seriously.

Solid Snake wins. They need audio added in aswell, that would add up to some epic creativity.

False advertisement because Gamestop does not sell N64 console anymore. :)

i bought my own n64, i was working part time already at the age of about 14 ish.

Was still amazing though, until i sold it to get my eyebrow pierced, then got a ps1 and was a sony boy until a brief stint with a wii.

Damn it I wish I had been able to find the video of me having almost the same reaction to my SNES back in the day. It's on a VHS somewhere.

I have one video of me, completely confused at the fact that I just received a barbie. My mom then laughs hard at me, and hands me my real gift, an SNES. what a fine day it was.

The technology they use to do these is the most horrifying thing ever. Hilarious, but horrifying.

Holy shit! Hands down one of the funniest things I've seen. I have to admit, I reacted the same way when I got my N64.

Anyone here watch the show Tosh.0 with comedian Daniel Tosh? It's on Comedy Central and I find it hilarious! There are these segments called Web Redemptions and the N64 kid was on it! Cool to see him talk about years later, check it out at the link below.

Yea, I reacted almost the same crazy way when I got an NES for Christmas! Man, I wish I had that moment on tape... Or do I?!
