Wood kitchen butter board FC(NES) gaming console

[jackieqi]

I grew up in Asia, so I was playing Japan version of NES - FC ( Family Computer) back then. Here is my FC, made from a used wood kitchen butter board.

Front:

Back:

An oled screen is used to display game info and system info (when idle, for SSH)

This is where all things started:

Design:

Wood carving:

Adding color and components:

Final form:

Hope you like it!
Cheers,

What a fun and original concept! I also like the artwork a lot, i take it you did that yourself?

Very fun! I really like the status screen. What does the red LED on the front indicate?

Wow, really unique! Great artwork! I like the added hanging cord on the back! You should just hang this on the wall behind the TV like I beautiful work of art :) The only thing I would add would be some Japanese letters that said something related to this project. How do you say RetroPie in Japanese haha?

@Morph-X Glad you like it. Yes I did the art work myself.

The plan is to light up the red led when any game is played, but I haven't got time to wire it yet.

You read my mind @backstander . I actually used two of my wife's butter board. The other one is designed and painted to Nes contra theme. Here it is:

So they can be placed together like any wood carving piece:

Except the nes one can play real games :)
