kotami, the console hacker behind the NEStation (NES styled after the PS2) and the Mini Sega MegaDrive/Genesis , is back again with a detailed re-creation of the original NES style on a Nintendo DS. (more pictures here)
His original post is in French, but I'll do my best to translates his thoughts on the project. He wanted to show of the design of the original NES controller when you open the DS up. It alse sports the simple style of the NES console on the outer shell.
He painted the top with a clear grey paint and the lower part of the DS in a dark grey to match that of the NES's base. It may seem simple, but it closely matches the overall style of the NES. Once opened, you can see the famous grey band and red lettering. The buttons were also colored carefully.
