One for the gaming geeks and in particular retro gaming geeks – the Nintendo NES Controller Wallet.
A description isn’t really necessary – this is a canvas wallet with a replica image of an original Nintendo controller sewn on the front, there’s not much else to say.
However, I will mention that it’s officially licensed, it has pockets for credit cards and photo ID and costs just $10 (just over £5). And if you bought the Nintendo NES Power Mints, the Nintendo NES alarm clock or the Nintendo Mushroom Scarf, this is definitely for you.

I myself used to have one of these. Yes, you read right–USED TO.
See, it was attached to my damn hip-pack by a chain along with my house key. And at one point, I personally took the damn pouch off (when I was on the bus) so I could sit down and relax. Sleep. Well–pass out, really.
And… idiot that I am, so much going on in my head… all the thoughts and tasks for the day and daydreams and personal dilemmas (not to mention all that damn “Ally McBeal” internal- monologuing), I lost track, lost sight… and I lost my waist-wallet–not to mention by prized-pig vintage Nintendo controller wallet. Jeez, I’d like another one. I looked all over for a brand new… but it looked like some cruel bastard sadist out there discontinued to them just to personally further difficult my own life. I couldn’t even find it online.
Damn it all… Hey, just a bit of a pipe dream here… False hope at the end of the tunnel perhaps, even… but are there… maybe, just maybe any more out there available?
