I have taken the classic and popular Nintendo 64 console and turned it into a docking / music station! I have created this product and will be producing more for the public to purchase. What do you think?

"This great geek gadget allows you to dock, charge, and sync your Apple products via the included dock which is located inside of the game cartridge slot. This dock works with all iPhone and iPod models. The easy access USB cable is stored in the back and can easily be wrapped up and placed in the storage space. (Wall charger adapter is also included)

Not only can you sync and charge your iPhone or iPod but you can listen to your favorite music using the included speaker system! Just plug in the audio cable to your iPhone, iPod, or MP3 player and listen to great music with the internal speaker system. Small but high quality sound that will make you dance to the music! Speakers will provide up to 48 hours of play time. To charge, just remove the front cover and plug in the USB cable to your charging device."
 
Aw man, too bad I don't have a broken N64 lying around, only my real and working one.
 
My honest opinion is that it's cool, but impractical. When thinking of your product you should ask yourself, why should people choose my product over others? What makes it better? Simply being "unique" won't yield sales.

Very creative, though!
 
Such a tease since Nintendo is still holding out on letting their games onto the App Store. :(

I'm fine with that. All the old ports to iphone just don't play like they used to (I'm looking at you sonic). It was a good looking port but just wasnt very fun after 15min. Without the controler, they just don't do the originals justice.

I definitely agree. That's why the wife & I still have a full-functional N64 in the closet with Goldeneye, Donkey Kong, MarioKart, Zelda, etc. :)

It is kinda bad timing with a new iphone with a new dock coming.

Hah. Hadn't thought of that! :confused:
