Power Up With A Giant Nintendo Bento Box

October 1, 2015 by Chris Durso

nintendo-bento

To help celebrate their upcoming New Year, Japanese department store, Takashimaya, is celebrating in the most appropriate way… By making ginormous Nintendo Bento Boxes.

The tradition of osechi ryouri (お節料理), specially-prepared bento boxes for the holiday, will come in three-tiers. While most of the food included will be Mario and friends-themed, some actually has deeper meaning. Such as shrimp, which is hunched over, representing the elderly.

Although, powering up on this feast will not come cheap, 27,000 yen (US$225), it is meant to enjoy with family over the course of a few days. And, it comes with a set of cards.

Turn Any Refrigerator Into A Giant Game Boy With FreezerBoy Magnets

August 20, 2015 by Chris Durso

Move the kids’ drawings and schoolwork off the fridge. It’s time for those who grew up with one-color unlit game screens to enjoy the refrigerator’s exterior for once.

FreezerBoy, a set of six magnets, is the refrigerator art that’ll help us feel nostalgic while reducing all that clutter. The large magnets fit easily on any fridge, and can be removed anytime — just in case you’d like to play the washing machine, or any other metallic surface.

Then you’ll just have to explain to the kids why they can’t have their schoolwork on the fridge… if they can look away from their iPads for just a minute.

Grab your two-button controller, oversized cartridges, and enjoy these Nintendo NES Wine Labels. Brought to us by the folks at VinePair, the fictional wines are inspired by vintage Nintendo video games and labeled with old-school 8-bit awesomeness.

From Mario and Luigi Chianti Classico to Mike Tyson Punch Out!! Zinfandel, the wines will make you yearn for the days of blowing into cartridges, and for what once passed for video game graphics. At least you’re old enough to drink now.

Because our memories of playing Super Mario Bros. and blowing into cartridges is so fond, the tributes to the Nintendo NES Game Console have been plentiful. Enter, The Nintoaster, a fully-functional NES made from a vintage toaster.

Brought to us by Finnish artist, Jarno Kotavuopio, the console turns on when the plunger is set down, and will play all of your favorites from childhood. Do not put toast in it though… No amount of blowing on the bread will make it toast.
