Whether you're a retro gaming fan or you're into modern consoles, these game controller adaptations are sure to tickle you in the right way. Be prepared to be overwhelmed with nostalgia as these geeky goods will let you express your inner nerd to your heart's content.
The most artistic of these game controller inspirations is probably a samurai-adorned Playstation controller, which is visually impressive. Those looking to rock some Nintendo-inspired fashion will love the NES controller carrier bag as well.
Implications - As the development of new technologies forges on, so do the developing aesthetics of these new technologies. By altering something that could easily be standardized, companies can refresh interest in their products and services without reinventing what they have to offer.
