# Retro Gamer Entertainment Systems This DIY Nintendo Home Theater System Looks Like a Real Game By Ady Floyd | Published 2016-02-27 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-nintendo References: [incrediblethings](http://www.incrediblethings.com/entertainment/nintendo-home-entertainment-system-is-perfect-for-gamers/) & [toyland.gizmodo](http://toyland.gizmodo.com/a-giant-nes-home-theater-is-exactly-how-duck-hunt-was-m-1757458409) This highly creative DIY Nintendo home entertainment system consumes the entire wall of Tylerfulltilt's living room and looks just like a retro 80s gaming console. This home project, which took two weeks to complete incorporates all aspects of a traditional home theater system, while being presented as a sleek retro game. The wall resembles the look of a Nintendo controller, which includes a television presented as the screen and a makeshift cord connected to the console -- in this case a coffee table. Through the inclusion of a "a giant non-functional NES control pad" and audio-enhancing speakers, the design perfectly hides any signs of cords or electrical wiring. This DIY Nintendo home theater is ideal for any dedicated gamer who wants to add some nostalgia to a modern day gaming and home entertainment system. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro-futuristic Home Entertainment:** Creating home entertainment systems that incorporate nostalgia and modern technology to create unique and immersive experiences. - **DIY Gaming Systems:** The trend of creating personalized, customized gaming and entertainment systems to suit individual tastes and preferences. - **Integrated Home Theater:** Incorporating all aspects of a traditional home theater system into one seamless, immersive experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Gaming Industry:** Opportunities for gaming companies to develop and market customizable, retro-futuristic gaming systems for home use. - **Home Theater Industry:** Opportunities for home theater companies to expand their offerings to include personalized, immersive home entertainment systems. - **DIY Industry:** Opportunities for DIY companies to develop and market products and services that cater to the growing trend of personalized, customized home entertainment and gaming systems. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Projector-Equipped Handheld Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-game-boy-concept.md) - [Gaming Console Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-cart-coffe-table.md) - [Shapeshifting Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-game-boy-famicon.md) - [See-Through Cartridge Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modretro-m64.md) - [Tiny Retro Gamer Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-source-games-console.md) - [Building Block Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ps-one.md) - [Spaceship-Like Entertainment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odyssey-entertainment-system.md) - [Nostalgic 90s-Inspired Gaming Consoles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analogue-3d-funtastic.md) - [Ultra-Compact Gamer Console Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-gaming-console.md)
