Atari 2600 and Nintendo NES Controller Flash Drives Could Probably Store Every 8-Bit Game ROM Ever Made
July 5th, 2009
These USB flash drives are made from the hollowed out carcasses of original 8-bit video game cartridges and controllers.
Robotic Evil, Inc. is currently selling both an Atari 2600 cartridge and a Nintendo NES controller flash drive over on their Etsy shop for $29.99 (USD) each. Sure, they’re way more bulky than your average flash drives, but I don’t care – I’d much rather plug one of these into my computer than a plain old flash drive.
While the included 2GB of storage may seem paltry by today’s standards, I’m thinking that you’d have a tough time filling that if you tried to load one up with every Atari 2600 and NES game ROM you could find. As a matter of fact, you could probably store every 8-bit game ever made in less than 2GB — not that I’d condone that sort of thing

I’d buy it if I could use it as a Joypad and I’d pay more if it was both a flash drive and a Joystick
You could Store certain files with which you could play with the joystick so all you’d need to do is plug one cord in and off you go.
Probably playing some game with a plumber or something….
Do you tech bloggers have a management enforced quota for posts about things made out of NES controllers?
SRSLY, done and done. Enough already.
Yes, there is a quota, and it has now been filled. Next up, we’ve got to come up with some more stuff made to look like Space Invaders.
Point taken.
Looks great 2gb is pretty small though
