A GameBoy only a Mother Brain could love

French artist Oskunk strikes again, this time with a Metroid-themed GameBoy that features a stylized Mother Brain on its front and a swarm of the titular creatures on its back.

If I had any say in the matter (and I don't), Oskunk would follow up this creation with a custom-painted GameBoy Advance SP that features some sort of Mother 3 imagery.


To see a few more photos of this playable piece of art (including two of its beautiful backside), though, head on over to Oskunk's blog pronto.

I admit it - the title sucked me in so I had to see what this was about. I've always liked items like these art covers or the old, brightly colored stickers that covered the face of NES controllers. Good stuff. :)

Not a fan of the Mother 3 GBA Micro?

Love this one!

Oh I would looove to get one of his customised handhelds/consoles. I would prefer this Metroud-Gameboy, a Jet Set Radio Dreamcast or a Zelda-anything. :D But I'm pretty sure they're all expensive as hell...

Ah, then my work here is done, Chalgyr. Also, I have to admit I was a bit pleased with myself when I came up with this header/title :)

Oh, I like it well enough, Jyr, although I don't like the prices it goes for on eBay! Also, the design is perhaps a bit too subtle for me. That's why I'd like to see what ol' Oskunk could come up with.

Yay! Don't you wonder if Oskunk plays any of these systems? I'd be terrified to touch them myself...

Me, too, Melody! I don't know if he/she even sells them, to tell you the truth. I've certainly never seen them for sale anywhere. Anyway, you're probably right that they're sure to be expensive if he/she *does* sell them.

I fucking want one.

Ha! I like your straightforward reply, Tom :) Also, I can't help but agree with it. Man, it must be nice to be as talented as ol' Oskunk, don't you think?

Tom Badguy said...

Definitely. Hmm, I wonder if there is a template for Gameboy cover designs somewhere on the net? Photoshop skills, engage.

Fingers crossed that you find some awesome designs, Tom!
