It's been an interesting start to the week, with plenty of us thinking about retro gaming following the big SNES Mini reveal from Nintendo. As a result it seems like a nice time to dip into the rather fun bit of the internet, where enthusiasts showcase their love of gaming along with some intriguing skills.
One of our team that browses such things on the internet found these rather lovely images on Imgur; they're rather like that crazy Retro-Bit table albeit more varied and not actually functional as giant controllers / cartridges. Still, if you want to impress / worry the neighbours these could be just the thing for your living room.
It's all about that Game Boy table, right?

Very cool but the games need faux board connector pins. They could be the handle for the drawer.
Game boy table needs to be a functional giant game boy.
Then it's amazing
I wouldn't want one of these. They look tacky.
Looks great especially the nes cart of smb 3
Not sure I could convince the wife why we need one of these in our house
Nah, that's all way too much. A hobby is fine, but it doesn't need to take over the house.
And all these tables need a glass plate on top of them, otherwise you can't use half of the surface to put something on, unless you actually want it to topple over. And they also look like dust magnets...
Just no
...noice!....Nintendo should use these all over E3... a room Filled with them would be a sight....
....well, it does have the Nintendo seal of quality.
Wow...!!!
I want that NES controller table !
I mean, I want ALL of them !
@Roam85 That's an awesome idea! And actually, it wouldn't be that hard to implement. Basically just integrate a Rasberry Pi and a large enough display into the table. Would be great if the sold them like that.
But I gotta agree with @ThanosReXXX. If you want to use the tables as actual tables, they have to be flat. So in that regard, I think the N64 cartridge would be the best choice (or maybe a Gamecube-styled table).
@H1B1Esquire Sealiously?
I like the NES controller table the best.
I'm a geek but that is too much even for me.
And another thing: the N64 Zelda one should obviously have been a golden cartridge...
I like the controllers more than the carts, but that tile floor! What a mildewed mess. I want to scrub the grout with bleach and a toothbrush. I wouldn't bring something into my home that had made contact with that floor, even if it was free.
@ThanosReXXX that's what my cart looked like. I really like these if I had a dedicated games room like some do I'd get one for there. I don't so I won't lol
@shani
The NES controller would be your best bet as it has a glass top.
These are the sort of things that only work if you have a room dedicated to your fandom. I wouldn't get the N64 cart table, the arching surface would mean your useful space is less than it looks.

It's not quite the game boy, but it's cool.
And I worked at a bar where the tables were ms PAC man madhines, the screen in the center and joysticks on opposite sides, larger maps and two ms PAC mans could play at once. It was cool.
@Roam85
Gosh...!
A Treasure box of video games + a Giant SNES Controller as Coffee Table ?!
Cool, but weird.
I found this Nintendo Table available on stock and buying this
