World's largest NES controller.

The world's largest NES controller. This post is a 'hey check this out', but also deals with things that we talked about in class. This takes aspects of device input and makes them larger than life.

This thing actually works, and even single player games are now team efforts. This changes the way that single player games are played. For instance, in Super Mario one person would control movement, while the other would control run, jump, and fireballs.

While very cool, the aspect of breaking down a system designed for a single person's input, and forcing two or more people to work together is very interesting.

Although i'm sure this was made to be 'fuck yeah world's largest controller.'
