Nintendo had a knitting accessory for the NES!

[Fudge]

Nintendo had some pretty obscure and unique accessories, but damn, how would this even work!?

It's really too bad this was never offered to the public. If it was, maybe my grandmother would have something to do other than Windows XP solitaire.
(Yes, it absolutely MUST be the XP version)

That's... Unique?

 

[Veho]

Of course we should probably mention that no other video game system offers nothing even remotely similar. But why needle the competition?

That joke had me in stitches.


Seriously though, it's a shame this never came out.

I'm still waiting for my Snes-Expresso-Machine and for my N64-Beer-Maker

It looks like they couldn't reap and sew any potential from this product.

A product this outrageous is as rare as a needle in a haystack.

Nintendo's R&D department really is a close knit community.

I'm guessing there were a lot of strings attached.

They were actually going to introduce a system similar to Sony's crossplay with this product called crosshatching.

This thread is really silly.

You people really need a new yarn to spin, this pun shit is getting old.

Well the FamiCom was Family Computer... and they did attempt to push office software at one point.

"Dude where'd you get the hat?"

"Oh, Grandma NES made it for me."

You know you're popular when...

 

[AlanJohn]

Awesome, can't wait for this.

Awesome, guys, these left me in stitches.

Now only if we can get a rom of the software, and a third party makes the hardware for this then we got something.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

"Dude where'd you get the hat?"

It's very cunning.

 

[Lastly]

I believe I saw this before... and it was really u-knit... uhhh I mean unique. No, really; no sarcasm intended unless my memories failed me, I saw this before.

It's very cunning.

When a man goes out in public in hat like that. You know hes not afraid of anything.

The Famicom disk system did in fact have software for designing your own sweaters, which you could have made too for a cost.

I don't think the japanese sweater designing game had its own knitting peripheral though.
