Aleatorio: ¿Te apetece algo de coser?’ Mario? Marvel At The Game Boy Máquina de coser

We live in an age of quirky Nintendo peripherals; Aventura en forma de anillo is an example where Nintendo took a relatively standard Yoga ring and cleverly turned it into a huge sales success. Third-parties join in too, por supuesto,, and let’s not forget Nintendo’s own Labo range that made cardboard cool.

For those with a retro perspective, aunque, the NES / Game Boy era was a golden age for quirky accessories, and the video above from El futuro retro showcases a version of a Game Boy Sewing Machine. It’s a rather funny walkthrough on how machines were designed to hook up to a Game Boy and related software to make sewing easier.
