We've seen some pretty amazing fan-made things over the years here at Nintendo Life, mostly from those with a keen eye for creativity and imagination, and this latest effort is soaring right onto our list of absolutely must-see endeavours.
A gaming fan going by the name Suprman9 has created 'Nerdvana', a gaming room which uses a combination of 'nerd' and 'Nirvana' for its name. The room features a dedicated One Piece mural and a Superman arcade machine among other things, but there's one item which has grabbed our attention in particular.
That's right, hanging on the wall for all to see is a giant Nintendo Switch. Of course, in reality, this is a standard TV (65 inches, according to Suprman9's site) with custom made Joy-Con plonked onto the sides. You don't need us to tell you just how amazing it looks.
After initially thinking about a potential Game Boy Color setup, and then another for 3DS, the vision of this Switch monstrosity eventually came into being. "Finally, the idea of a Nintendo Switch hit me", Suprman9 mentions on their blog. "The Switch was the perfect design because the center console looks like a miniature TV. Also, the Switch is the current console and has had some of my favourite games on it (Super Mario Odyssey & Breath of the Wild)".
From there, the process consisted of an awful lot of accurate measuring and experimental woodwork. You can read up on its creation and see more images here if you're interested.
If we're being completely honest, Nintendo Life HQ looks pretty boring now. Suprman9, fancy hooking us up with another Switch TV?

Good luck playing that one on the go.
make those Joy-Con functional, then we'll talk.
His mom is going to be mad when she comes home and sees that
Better hope those Joy-Con don't catch drift disease in a few months.
Also, I love that carpet color.
Amazing. Needs a human to do a comedy sketch with the joy-cons now really...
I kinda love this as a functional display piece. They clearly have a theme going on in their room, and this fits it perfectly.
@Mr_Pepperami
Hahahaha
Let's face it, people: The Switch is a big seller! XD
Nintendo did the same thing when they were touring around with Smash during the holidays. It looked pretty sick
man one could get a massive Hernia just trying to remove and play with the Joy-Cons..... lmao....
Funny no one did this with a Wii U game pad.
Also it'f funny he tried to hide his Xbox under a ton of amiibos. He was probably hoping for Xbox live on the Switch
Edit: That's a PS4, not an Xbox.
Could've sworn this was already a thing..
Not very portable, but nice
@CurryPowderKeg79 Why do I feel like your wife read that comment and made you edit it....
@iLikeUrAttitude Yep, a similar giant Switch got an article on here a couple of months back. That one was a measly 55 inch though.

Does it only play remakes?
Thats Huge! I wonder what it fells like to play on it like that.
Wow. Just... wow. That's impressive.
Oh my god... I need this in my life.
"Introducing the Switch Pro XL! Who needs that portability when you have power?"
If Nintendo doesn’t release a Switch at this size I will be majorly disappointed.
@Rhaoulos Not a 100% but I think it's a ps4
That is a work of art
That's one big Switchpup!
@MarzipanD I had my doubts but I think you are right. I forgot the original PS4 had a polished and non polished side like the Xbox One.
What I really liked was the "One Piece" art on the wall.
I just hope he lets his kids enter his game room.
@Rhaoulos it was what looks like a logo on the right that made me think ps4. It's still funny he tried to hide it.
Took me a few sec to realize that's the TV
Are the joycons detachable?
Amazing work. Where does this dude live, I'll bring the pizza and extra pro controllers.
I found that room quite...disturbing.
That's awesome, but please tidy up that room.
I really like that, my wife would kill me
I didn't know a room could be cringe until today. That wall...that wall...
That's pure talent, well done that guy!
My inner nerd is off the charts! Love it!
And you dock it at a movie theater.
It looks great, but having gone to so much trouble with the giant Switch, those visible wires bother me.
I personally would never do this nor do I want this in my house but I can't lie. That looks amazing! 😮😮😮
I like it, but if I were doing it, I'd have made the joycons into cabinets that you can store things in, or disguised speakers into it. Doing something like this really isn't too complicated. You just need to do a little math to get the scale right, cut the wood, assemble and paint. Making the from of the joycons doors that reveal cabinet space is as simple as attaching some hinges like you would use in a kitchen which you can buy for pretty cheap at most hardware stores - where you'd also be able to get the wood, nails (or screws) and paint.
Lots of free time + lots of money+ lack of talent= making a 65 inch Switch.
Next step is to make it portable! Climb a mountain and play Zelda on your Nintendo Switch XL!!!
Wasn’t there already a story earlier this year (or was it last year?) about someone turning their TV into a giant Switch. I remember people thinking it was hilarious that the TV was clearly (in the pic) a Sony. 😁
Dude goes through all that trouble. Buys an expensive TV, all the toys, those nice theater style chairs...and DOESN'T HIDE THE WIRES?!?!
Nice man cave. Loving those chairs; I need to get a gaming chair like that.
So this joke sometime back on GameInformer did come true someone did make a massive Switch with joy-cons to boot.
More power to ya....
Finally some Joy-Cons that don't slip through the fingers.
Fan Turns 65-Inch TV Into A Giant Nintendo Switch
