That's a fantastic replica of a Super Nintendo cartridge. It's also made completely out of soap, something I'm surprised I haven't seen someone do before. This bar is made by Geeksoaps, who are making a range of soaps aimed at retro gamers who remember their cartridges.
So far, only Nintendo consoles are represented with soaps for Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and NES carts and a guest bathroom hand soap in the form of a classic GameBoy game. Word has it that they'll be showing some love to SEGA consoles soon.
If I had any control whatsoever when it came to the soaps which grace the sinks of my home, I might consider these as an amusing novelty that nobody would bother touching. People would just think I was the weird guy who kept cartridges in his bathroom, which has probably happened at least once already.

I used to rub SNES cartridges all over my body anyways, so this is only natural!
I can only shudder at the thought of some poor soul who gets your games second-hand. Not being critical of your personal hygenie, btw. ;O)
Name them "Nintendo Hygiene System"
???

Ah, a geniune connoisseur of videogaming, with a clever anti-theft system to boot. XOD
Great for those hard to reach places?
Pfft, fucking irrational Nintendo haters.
Say what you want about the Wii, but the Super Nintendo was the best thing going at the time. I guess you hate systems with great graphics for the time period one and a stable of fantastic games, many of which still stand up today. Yeah, that was awful.
*think*

Before you ask, there are alternatives. :P
Buy it anyway just for the sake of having useless gamer crud brightening up the house! (Though it may not be a good idea to take advice from the guy who has a Super Mario toothbrush holder...)

Keeping in the theme of things, they would have to charge like 8 times more for the NeoGeo soaps.
