Update: June 2, 2005
Envision the living room of a retro gamer still hungry for old school Famicom after all these years. There's a creaky 8-bit unit (with the Gyromite robot) connected to the Wega, Famicom era magazines crammed into the bookshelf, and a little something special on the couch... Behold the Famicom cushion from Banpresto which may be sat upon, thrown like a missile, or encased in protective mylar...never to taste the air again. Two styles are in stock today - a white and red Famicom cushion with detachable joypads which measures 12 x 8.5" and a red Famicom Disk cushion which measures 15 x 8.5" large and has a flap on top to dock the Famicom cushion upon. For an added touch of authenticity, console details are drawn in to enhance the likeness to the original source hardware. Price: $25 each. Preorder Synopsis
When a simple futon or cushion from Ikea just won't do to spice up your gaming room, turn your attention to Banpresto's upcoming foray into furniture. Sort of. Measuring a healthy 31 x 22cm or roughly 12 x 8.5" around, small and big bottoms alike will sit comfortably on the Nintendo Famicom cushions. Two different styles are as follows: A. Famicom 8-bit console cushion with two joypad attachments (12 x 8.5"). B. Famicom Disk System cushion with a velcro flap in back to hold the 8-bit console cushion (15 x 8.5").
