Nesbuckels are belt buckles made from real NES controllers, salvaged from recycled video game systems.
These are a must have for each hardcore Nintendo fan. The buckles are connecting the virtual world and the real world. Big influences of the virtual world are touching real life with these types of products. The buckles are retro video stylish and real eyecatchers. Some of them are more than 20 years old and thousands of matches were played with them.
Implications - This is the kind of product that instantly announces your allegiance to a past life. There are few easier ways of starting a conversation with a like-minded person than wearing one of these out -- so I recommend you look into one if you're a Nintendo obsessive like me or know someone would would appreciate a gift like this.
