Your N64 Case Mod Is In Another Castle

@KillerBee: I totally agree. I would rather just have the plain old black case.

@KingSeafoam:
Hey, I've never produced a movie. Doesn't mean I'm gonna respect Uwe Boll.

@mfwahwah: Thanks for adding something? Good job.

Muisee

@Rajolae: Nah, look like a plastic wrapper to me..

@KillerBee: Who are you to judge, have you ever built one or even attempted? You can tell by the roof tiling that he did use a lot of effort, but unfortunately some parts might have screwed up a little.

It's not a perfect replica, but you're still an ass to call it that.

@FatalChaos: Me too, and yeah, it's not the greatest looking thing in the world either.

Rajolae

Woooow, that mod is fugly.

I love how everyone's criticizing it and few if any of you have actually attempted to do something like this on your own.

Man if only it had spikes on it so it could kill unsuspecting people who trip on it. Er, I mean cool casemod. :o

@Muisee: Nobody cares

@KillerBee: It's better than what I could have made so I'll show some respect. Jerk.

@simplyPARTICLE: Let me guess, Vitality sensor is to tell us how close we are to a heart attack after all this cake?

It all makes perfect sense now.

@FatalChaos: Me too, I'm so hungry :(

@FatalChaos: me too!

@otakuoverlord: Hmm I will go with Mario 64, Zelda: OoT and MM, Star Fox 64, SSB, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, both Banjo's, etc over anything the PS1 had. The only title I can still bare to play on the PS1 is MGS1.

Muisee

That is horribly, disgustingly ugly. I appreciate the effort, but the results look like a shitty cake from a grocery store.

@mescalineeyes: Cartridge? Are you insane? This will play all mario, all the time. Why would ever want to play something else?

Agh, my eyes! Goddamned hideous. Shouldn't form follow function? I see neither here.

Is it made of foam?

Man in the mirror

The best N64 case mod was when you traded it for a playstation.

ew

@Bakamoichigei: Would that make it an N64 cake mod?

Ornithopterx

Does this remind anyone else of the sometimes-crappy amateur scenery (especially ork scenery) that you sometimes see people using whilst playing Warhammer or Warhammer 40k? Nobody? I guess it's just me.

It's pretty neat, but I wouldn't buy it even for that. There's no opening for the cartridge! Unless you flip the tower open.

@FatalChaos: Haha, me too. And it looks like the picture was taken in the kitchen, to boot!

@Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: Thanks for the laugh, it was so appropriate.

@Xhacker02:

Plenty of effort gone into this mod.

I wonder if they would mod the controllers to match.

@mescalineeyes: Uh, it's not my listing :P I just read the article and viewed the links posted by Kotaku and Technabob

vwllss.

@FatalChaos: The princess never baked me a cake, it was all a LIE!

@Yamato: Me three!

Esper mind tricks

@vwllss.: sweet :) well sir, great work! good luck with that listing!

@FatalChaos: me too!

@simplyPARTICLE:

@Benguin: Its just historical accuracy, back in the n64 days everything was made to look like cake; in nintendos evil plan to make us eat more cake. I would often be playing zelda and think "boy does that link look tasty, i sure could have a piece of cake right now". Some people may say that the n64s games look blocky and quite ugly but that's what happens when your games are made to look like cake. I have never quite understood why they did this until rather recently, they were fattening us up! Then years later with our podgy cake filled bodies we would all buy wii fit.

@Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: Shhh, you're ruining their fun with your "facts"...

@mescalineeyes: Who cares how the cartridge fits in?
How does Mario get in so that he can defeat bowser and save peach!?!

@Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: At first I thought the title of this article was "N64 Cake Mod." Because yes, the quality of the build - clever - while looks questionable.

And somewhat lumpy.

@mescalineeyes: I'd say. :P

I thought it was a cake until I read case mod.

FatalChaos

@mescalineeyes: You remove the entire top portion and it goes under everything, probably very annoying to take care of, but very well crafted beyond that.

@You'z guys:

Click the link. Top of castle comes off.

@mescalineeyes: Sorry for double post since my first comment isn't viewable yet (can't edit), but just read the actual eBay listing.

Top comes off, insert cartridge, put top back on.

vwllss.

@Michael Dukakis - Mets fan: that's a bit of an understatement if you ask me...

@mescalineeyes: Looking at the pictures in the article it looks like there could be a slot underneath the dome of the castle. You'd have to take the top off, put in a cartridge, and put the dome back on to cover it.

vwllss.

@Komrade Kayce - Hero of Soviet Kotaku: Definitely looks low quality. I can't even tell if they had to modify the actual casing or if they just put lots of clay, paper mache or whatever that junk is on top of one.

vwllss.

@mescalineeyes:
That's exactly what I was thinking. Great mod and all but, how exactly do I use it?

@mescalineeyes: Bit of a design flaw if you ask me...

I hope you don't have to blow Mario to make the cartridge work.

vwllss.

@mescalineeyes:
Top of the castle comes off by the look of it, I guess it goes in under it.

A for Effort and Theme, but it... ah... doesn't look so high quality. Who am I to judge though, I've never been able to casemod anything beyond 'meltmod' (using a lighter on a console) and 'smashmod' (self explanitory).

Looks like it just sold on ebay for 100 bucks too. Technabob blog is right, if they had just submitted it to a gaming site or let Kotaku do its 'We don't normally promote ebay stuff' thing, it probably would have gotten a bit more.

where does the cartridge go?
