Good Lord The Knit tendo Entertainment System Actually Exists
Good Lord, The Knit-tendo Entertainment System Actually Exists Nintendo Life We're not pulling the wool over your eyes, honest by Share: When you consider how omnipresent the NES was in North America during the early '90s, it's hardly surprising that a wide range of money-spinning - but ultimately pointless - peripherals were pushed out onto store shelves (, we're looking at you). However, the king (or should that be queen?) of these devices has to be the NES Knitting machine. Previously only rumoured to be real, the existence of the knitter was recently confirmed by ex-Nintendo employee Howard Phillips, who posted an image on his page. Phillips added that he even demoed the system for Toys R Us, which he remarked must have been "one of my least genuinely enthusiastic demos". The mind boggles.

Rumours that he turned down a role in The Hobbit to work on Nintendo Life are, to the best of our knowledge, completely and utterly unfounded. Comments ) I have so many questions in my head right now. Most of them begin with "Why...?" Is it possible this is connected to the Japan only game "I Am a Teacher: Super Mario Sweater"?
The game allowed you to design your own sweaters that the company would then produce for ¥2,900.
As far as I can see though, the Famicom Disk System game did not include an actual knitting piece of hardware. imagine the possibilities like patterns with Nintendo characters... knit your own merchandise!
Or you could be naughty and use it to knit SEGA characters. Well, at least it's inventive! Guys knit, too...not me, but some do. Is this real??? I want one. release this for wii u nintendo were obviously trying everything to stitch up the competition. Seams legit! Oh Nintendo! Always doing something strange to their systems! XD If Nintendo was really as clever as we think it is, it would have released a Wii version of this with Kirby's Epic Yarn. That thing would have sold, at least, dozens of units. ...wut. now bake wafels or let it clone people! my favorite part is that I guess the knitter had to press A to continue so you'd dock the controller into it for that Okay? People have too much time on their hands. I should know. I'm one of them. There was a sewing machine that used gameboy as well. I remember selling the closeouts at Big Lots and we had trouble with the gameboys being stolen out of the boxes. Here a link the gameboy was used to design and select stich patterns. I saw this on IGN a day or two ago and thought "OMG" lol.. groan Two words. Not. Intrested. Oh, this is real!? At first I thought it was some sort of fan project, lol. Why did nintendo scrap this? I could have been getting enough sweaters to last a lifetime. If it weren't for ROB, this thing would racing in a kart or smashing everyone softly with its own woven body O.o My mom chrochets, I play games. Not too many people I know knit and also play games (knit and crochet are NOT the same, btw). I believe there's a reason why this device never made it past prototype stage. : I checked out that link you gave. It's worth a look just to read one or two of the reviews that were written (presumably by the manufacturer - they surely can't be kosher). They're hilarious Thanks for that. Wow! this is great news, now i can knit me some sleeveless turtlenecks for the summer Actually, it was a real thing at one point (at least the software was.) It was shown at a video game conference in the mid 80's but didn't take off. lol Just imagine. We could all be wearing NES Sweaters! (Or our parents could have!) If there was such a thing as September Fool's Day, I would not believe this. Fake!
If this was real the knitter would be connected to the 2nd controller port and the NES controller would be used to access the software on the tv, plus the NES controller does not have a I/O port on it to connect to other things seriously.......THIS almost came out???? Who on earth thought that this was a GOOD idea to begin with??Still.....is it real???? Well damn... I love it when I come across strange accessories like these. Haha, fun stuff. I actually find it hilarious. :B I gotta get me on of them fancy sweater machin-a-majigs... Woah, how long was I asleep, is it April 1st already? What the... Ker-razy! HOLY CRAP I WANT ONE I want one. Not knitting, though. 3DS w/ 3D printing! Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to to post a comment...
