Why didn’t I think of that?: The NES controller doorbell

They say that everything worth inventing has been invented. While cool, this Nintendo Entertainment System controller doorbell fails to disprove such a notion.

Although the controller has been rigged in such a way that hitting any button, including the d-pad, causes the doorbell to go off, the result is simply a standard ring. As GossipGamers suggests, the Super Mario Bros. theme would have been more fitting, but I would have gone with the Mega Man 2 boss intro song just for the hell of it.

There’s one thing I can’t help but wonder about, and that’s how many people will see the NES controller and somehow be able to resist its charm. I get the feeling that the poor guy’s doorbell is going to be ringing constantly.
