The original NES controller has inspired many a killer recreation project, and this is surely not the first time that someone has decided to whip up a table based on the little rectangular guy. You can always see varying levels of skill in people's work, however, and the thing about Kyle Downes version here is that it's bloody flawless. I can't find a single thing that keeps it from looking like a giant's version of the beloved original, and for that I applaud him. If you are as fascinated as I am, you'll want to see how he made it, which is easy thanks to the progress posts that Kyle made as he went through the project. You can also see the controller in action in a video after the jump (of course it's fully functional as well), which seems like it might be easiest to use with two people operating it. If I ever meet Kyle, he will have no choice but to be subjected to me bowing and praying to him in the street, so for his sake let's hope that chance meeting never takes place. [Via Ultra Awesome]

C-blogs?
I'm just seeing a bunch of code.
I'm trying to find where it says if the sex was good?
Oh man, I want that so bad.
wow
Nice. Do so badly want in mah living room. Also, html.
dude, I want that SOOOO bad....:(
Surf poses a good question...
Much better
Excellent craftsmanship on the table.
Man, must be a bitch to play Metroid on that thing.
Wow that /is/ perfect. How amazing!
omfg I want one...
Kinda makes me want to work on that reNESED project.
(Or do something cooler.)
I really really want that!
the web is just awesome today. first the reNESed, the SMW music level i saw just a second ago, and now this... truly one of the finer weeks of the internet
Win!
yes, but can you play the nes using that as a controller?
you can have sex on top of it... that would be cool.
Somehow I don't think we're going to be seeing a lot of N64, DC, or Dualshock controller furniture in the future. Damn you ergonomics!! You've screwed up our future furniture plans!
That is simply beautiful. Why do the fan projects always seem to be so much better than official stuff that gets put out there?
Someone needs to start hiring people to make/sell stuff like this...
You can have sex AND enter the Konami code!
yes, but can you play the nes using that as a controller?
You should watch the vid
Holy fucking shit.
That is the best thing ever, in the history of everything... well at least in the history of coffee tables.
@Professor Pew
That is now one of my goals on life now.
Fuck my doctor degree.
...
wow that just made my day.
God damn it, it's guys like this that make me feel terribly jealous. I needs me some awesome controller-table making skills, because I want that so bad...
0_o indeed
Are there pics and / or video of this alleged sex? You know, for research purposes.
I was going to make one last summer, but i got lazy and just played my nes instead. might have to fire up the project again this year.
Good CHRIST I need to make one of those.
Best coffee table EVAR!
WOW!
Man, I wish i was a carpentar.
I'd have sex on the coffeetable, if any.
That really looks way better than any other giant NES controllers I've seen. It's flawless.
The only thing missing are the bite marks on the sides like the ones on mine.
Officially the best thing ever.
I wonder what it would be like to play Track & Field on that.
i love that girl. i wanna marry her
Damn I'd really love to own one of those :-)
Oh. My. God. That would be amazing enough if it were just a 20x (or whatever) scaled replica of an NES controller as a coffee table...but the fact that you can actually play with it as a controller just puts it over the top. AMAAAAAAZING!
DO WANT!!! Fucking awesome right there!
DO WANT!!!
Gimme that.
i always used both buttons, the left to make mario run faster and right button to jump, but i imagine with only one right arm. It would be difficult.
That is awesome
