The world's a mess right now, so why not end your week right by enjoying the simple things in life - just like these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle-themed GameCubes.
They're not official, as you might expect, but are in fact the result of a restoration project. Twitter user and retro shop owner @2ButtonHero is responsible for the cool little collection, who says that they're now "far better to look at" than how they were in their original condition.
As you can see, each 'Cube has adopted the colouring of one of the four turtles.
It's never nice to see an old games console finally bite the dust and have to be thrown away, so if you have a broken machine sitting around at home, why not try out your very own customisations?
We recently shared the work of a fan who transformed a broken NES - and then a SNES - into a working Switch dock, or if your DIY skills are as bad as ours, perhaps simply repurposing an old Wii Fit board as a way to weigh gas canisters is more your speed?
Have you ever tried to do anything fancy with your consoles at home? Let us know in the comments below.

Leonardo is the best
Fight me.
@Kalmaro autocorrect? Donatello is the best 😛
@NintendoByNature My phone actually refuses to type any of those lesser names as Leonardo is so awesome 😎
Without one for April and Splinter this collection is incomplete.
My cube died
fight me,
and I was going to take it to estarland.com physical store for repair, but then covid happened, and i haven't visited dc area since. I don't want to package it to send it. I only want to take it
fightthere myself.@NintendoByNature I love it when someone thinks they've caught someone out with an autocorrect embarrassment, and then they go and suffer the same fate. It's ok though, don't be embarrassed, we know you meant Raphael.
I deeply regret selling my Gamecube. Mario Kart Double Dash, Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker were a fantastic set of games. There were other greats, but those three gave me my happiest memories on that system.
I guess I understand this from a Ninja Turtle fan perspective... But I wouldn't want something so ugly sitting in my living room. That green along with another clashing color is god awful.
'The World's a mess right now' you really are a prize ***** ! Nintendo Life the gaming equivalent of the Daily Heil !
@gcunit @Kalmaro lol this was a good learning experience for you two haha
@NintendoByNature @Kalmaro hey, break it up, break it up. Raphael and Michaelangelo are OBVIOUSLY superior.
Jk, theyre all equally great.
Remember April 😍....
@BANJO YES!!! <333333333333333 (edit: you mean 90's mature April Oneil, not the teen version in recent years)
Surprised I haven't seen anyone cosplay her in a long time.
@Kalmaro Raphael is too cool for school.
These are really cute!
I'd have given Mike's the NES box art skateboard design or something on the top disc design. Donny's wins this one for the fitting purple and the manhole cover, from a color choice perspective. I can't choose between Leo or Don myself, because:
@Kalmaro @NintendoByNature Credit considerable points to Donatello's intelligence and resourcefulness for the team actually surviving the first Technodrome raid in the '90's TV show when Leonardo just went straight in.
Raphael the best though... Aside from the fact that his weapons are terrible in every game...
@Benhop07 Why yes, I would say the others are equal... in second place
@KingBowser86 Donnie has had quite a few moments where people underestimate him and then he shows he's actually a genius. He's cool like that.
@Kalmaro One Turtle alone is nothing, together they are strong. And still not complete without Master Splinter, April, Casey and, yes, Shredder and the Foot!
Ha yes, turtles representing the best console ever. Objectively best console ever, made Nintendo a fortune. Do not look this up, trust me I know things.
You better change that to Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles before the pc police gets mad
@WoomyNNYes Yes 90's mature April O Neil, plenty of good cosplay's if you do a google search.... 😂
Here's A GameCube For Each Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Because Why Not?
....because they are ugly?
Yay! Five Internet points for me!
I don't have a joke for this one, this is really cool
ALSO TEAM LEONARDO 4 THE WIN!!!1!!!
Radical, dude! Should’ve used box art from one of the TMNT Gamecube games as an example, though.
(I do have the DS game in my collection, so 5 internet points for me.)
Missed opportunity to put the pizza logo on the Michelangelo gamecube. Also, mikey FTW!
This is the perfect setup for a 8 team/16 player double dash tournament. The toughest part would be tracking down the 4 network adapters.
@Doofenshmirtz plays video games!
Wow! This invokes the classic line:
“How grand! How terribly grand!” ~ L. Ostero
@Wootus i got two. Too bad I didn't have 7 friends. XD
