We've seen our fair share of custom designs for retro consoles over the years, but we reckon this one takes the cake. Swedish audio-visual artist Love Hultén has created all-in-one devices for the Famicom system and the SNES, combining the genuine consoles with a 9" Sony Trinitron PVM-9042QM display monitor.
The result is not only one of the most stunning pieces of artwork we've ever seen, but actually functions exactly as you'd want it to. Each creation contains a cartridge slot just in the front of the monitor itself, with more slots in the top of the devices to store your wireless controllers and any additional cartridges.
Naturally - and it pains us to say this - it's unlikely we'll ever get our hands on such beautiful consoles; the artist does take commissions via his website, but we imagine unique creations such as these would likely cost a pretty penny. Still, we can always dream!
Be sure to check out Love Hultén's official portfolio for a glimpse at some other work, including the stunning Pixel Vision handheld console and the SNES Synth!

This. is. awesome.
I would love to have something like this that could play Famicom Disk system games
@Tobiaku you can play fds games with flashcards on that hardware
Oh no... Just what I need.. another box mysteriously arriving to the house where my wife asks "What's that?"
I can't keep hiding all this stuff. She's going to catch on... Who do I blame, NintendoLife?! WHO DO I BLAME!?
@ChromaticDracula Just blame the IRA. That’s what I do.
I want one 😫 Not that I need it. I have minis and retro games but still lol. I'll want it then think "why am I getting this"
Lol this is like that liberty mutual commercial with the 2 guys that have crochet item while everyone's thinking WHY. Why bring something like this out when you can get all the games on 5+ other systems and most likely a system you already own. Its dumb.
So… it’s a Super8?
There isn’t a NA version?
@ChromaticDracula Blame it on the boogie.
Why not the Famicom and the Super Famicom? Or the NES and the SNES? Not very consistent...
@KAI_MIDORIKAWA the NES might not have released in Sweden.
This is really great!
