In the ever-evolving world of custom Nintendo hardware, Japanese creator limonegongbang has once again captured the attention of the gaming community with their latest showcase: a handcrafted mini-CRT television with a fully integrated Nintendo 64 console.
Following the success of their previous SNES TV build unveiled in 2022, limonegongbang has returned with an even more eye-catching device—this time with a vivid pink chassis and thoughtful Mario-themed design touches that celebrate Nintendo’s legacy in style.
Unveiled via limonegongbang’s official Twitter account, the compact CRT TV dazzles fans with its authentic retro aesthetics and functional ingenuity.
The design features a slot at the top to accommodate N64 cartridges, a nod to the original console hardware.
The build’s control interface is elevated by Mario-inspired buttons on the sides, repurposed as the reset and power switches for the device—an homage to one of Nintendo’s most beloved characters.
In a particularly inventive detail, a small secondary screen sits just below the main 6-inch CRT display, automatically showcasing the logo of the game currently being played, adding both flair and functionality to the user experience.
A detailed breakdown provided by limonegongbang highlights an impressive roster of technical features.
The custom mini-CRT TV boasts four controller ports, supporting classic local multiplayer gameplay; a pre-installed memory expansion pack to ensure compatibility with N64 titles demanding extra RAM (such as “The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask” and “Donkey Kong 64”); and stereo sound output for an authentic, high-quality audio experience synonymous with Nintendo’s golden era of gaming.
This fusion of nostalgic design and hardware practicality not only demonstrates advanced craftsmanship but also offers a unique way to experience Nintendo 64 software in the modern era.
Nintendo 64, originally released in 1996, holds an enduring place in gaming history, having introduced seminal titles and shaping the multiplayer landscape for generations.
Custom builds like limonegongbang’s project pay tribute to Nintendo’s innovation while creating inventive new ways for fans to enjoy and preserve classic games.
The reveal post, which quickly garnered significant attention on Twitter, fuels the ongoing interest in both retro gaming aesthetics and the bespoke hardware scene that continues to thrive worldwide.
For enthusiasts and collectors eager to see the full creative process, limonegongbang has also published a detailed build video—complete with English subtitles—offering an inside look at the craftsmanship and dedication required to bring such a project to life.
With this latest build, limonegongbang continues to be recognized as a leading figure in the custom Nintendo hardware community, reminding fans that the magic of Nintendo’s legacy consoles is very much alive through innovation, creativity, and a passionate embrace of gaming history.
