These Nintendo controllers are made out of sand photo

Exciting news day, ain't it?

Every August, a sandcastle and sculpture contest is held at Clam Harbour Beach in Nova Scotia, Canada. This year, one team decided to mold the entire range of Nintendo's home console controllers, super-sized. Chill on this Sunday afternoon with these summer gallery photos.

It's a Sunday, what can you do?

Anyway, that be some cool shit. I kinda' wish they would've made a giant console to go with some of them!

It's pretty cool, although the start button appears to be dwarfing the dpad on the gamecube controller. :S

The 64 one looks terrible, but these are mighty impressive.

I can't tell if the N64 controller is in there, but if it's is, I was expecting it to have a spike or something coming out of it.

Thanks for reminding me of how shitty the N64 controller was.

It was just so damn uncomfortable...

That said, I'm sad these will/have wash/washed away.

The angle is kind of weird on these pics. Pretty cool, though.

This is all post time that could be spent talking about Kirby's Epic Yarn.

The N64 controller was awesome. These sand creations are awesome. That's it.

Thank God they didn't include all the Wii peripherals (1st party and otherwise), they'd take the entire beach.

Very cool!

I also like how on the second picture the mom (I presume) is totally getting a hand full of her son's moobies.

I'm enjoying the multi-troll action in this thread.

It's far better than any thing I could make out of sand, so I'll leave it at that.
