Last year's Ghostbusters game for the Wii was surprisingly good, making excellent use of the console's motion controls. But those standard Wii controllers aren't enough for some people as this excellent mod by GBFans forum member irrelevanttomfoolery proves.

The pack's creator has this to say:

"The cyclotron features four blue LEDs allowing you to know which player is selected or active and the Blue Power Cell actually shows you how much power the pack has. The Thrower has been carefully designed in regards to ergonomics and function. The front of the wand has an area in which you can place the Wii-mote and the back handle is where the Nunchuck is placed. Since the Wii-mote has in internal speaker in it's ABS housing, when playing the game the pack makes all the iconic Ghostbusters SFX. And being that the Wii utilizes wireless technology, the wand is not tethered to the pack via a cord."

He's also going to be making a video of the thing in action... Watch this space!

DeviantArt user Thretris has a thing for painting classic Nintendo consoles, and this awesome Kill Bill themed duo caught my eye. Nintendo have always been well known for releasing lots of different limited editions and colour options for their systems over the years (the crazy Pokemon N64 and millions of colour variations of the original Gameboy spring to mind), but the NES mostly missed out on this.

Of course, Tarantino's wild west / kung fu / gangster epic wasn't around back in the days of the NES and Gameboy, but that doesn't stop the film's striking visual style from looking anything but awesome when gracing these retro consoles.

Check out this awesome Mario rug, hand crafted by Crafster user enemyairship. As you can see, Mario's wearing his famous Tanuki suit which enables him to fly. The rug measures 7ft x 7ft and is made up of 386 individual granny squares, each one representing a pixel. The rug took 15 days to complete, and should go along very nicely with enemyairship's other Mario-inspired work, including the leather ottoman you see above.

Keep up the good work!
