@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.

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.

@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.

And somewhat lumpy.

@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.

@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.

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.
