These DIY projects are so tempting to make myself

We can’t help but talk about the Nintendo 64, decades after it reigned supreme. The shape, the games, the vibe. It all rules. For many, it was an age of innocence. Which explains why so many people are keen on bringing it back.

That includes crafter QnadianBacon, who made a N64 Switch dock from a “for parts” (scrap) Nintendo 64 eBay listing. To be clear, the Switch actually goes all the way inside of the N64 console to dock, which opens up like a CD player or tape deck. As QnadianBacon notes, their own dock contains four built-in USB ports.

It’s totally worth checking out the entire build,which the creators walks you through step by step. It’s an incredibly impressive feat of engineering, and unlike many other crafts I cover, there doesn’t seem to be hope of a mass-produced model to buy. Totally understandable, given how much work went into it.
