Check out this fantastic NES console mod by Thretris, who also brought us the steampunk Game Boy mod we featured back in January this year.
Thretris’ latest creation is a Tron-inspired glow-in-the-dark Nintendo Entertainment System with an upgraded stereo sound system and detailing to replicate a Tron character. Watch its funky glow under black light in the video after the jump.
Design and Features
The NES glows extremely brightly under a blacklight and charges to then glow without blacklight, although not quite as brightly. The design is meticulously crafted to capture the essence of the Tron universe, with neon blue lines and a sleek, futuristic aesthetic. The upgraded stereo sound system enhances the gaming experience, providing richer and more immersive audio that complements the visual enhancements.
The detailing on the console is impressive, with intricate patterns and designs that mimic the look of Tron characters. This attention to detail not only makes the console a functional piece of gaming hardware but also a work of art that any collector would be proud to own.
Availability and Pricing
You can be the proud owner of one of these modified consoles from Thretris for $250. Each console is supplied with the original power adaptor, RF switch, and original controller. This makes it not only a visually stunning piece but also a fully functional gaming system that retains its original charm and usability.
For those who are fans of both retro gaming and the Tron franchise, this modded NES offers a unique blend of nostalgia and modern aesthetics. The price point is quite reasonable considering the amount of work and detail that goes into each unit. Thretris has a reputation for high-quality mods, and this Tron NES is no exception.
The mod has garnered attention from various tech and gaming blogs, highlighting its unique appeal and craftsmanship. It’s a testament to the creativity and skill of modders like Thretris, who continue to push the boundaries of what can be done with classic gaming consoles.
