SALE Nintendo Family Computer Art Clock (2006) $38.90/Each

    Originally imported from Japan in the summer of 2006.

Original Update: August 01, 2006
«©NCSX» A few years ago, NCS stocked a Spiderman Clock which featured the swinging webhead... literally. Good old Spidey served as a pendulum of sorts and swung dutifully 24/7. Since then, there hasn't been any other import wall clocks that attracted our interest. Until now. Banpresto has been producing merchandise based on Nintendo nostalgia for a few years now and the company releases three wall clocks inspired by retro Nintendo themes as follows:

» Red Famicom console + controller clock
» Blue Famicom logo clock on a dark blue background
» Donkey Kong title screen clock with leaping Mario at 9 'o clock

   We're partial to the Donkey Kong clock but the other two are retro chic as well. The stark design of the blue Famicom logo clock brings back fond memories of the early 80s when Nintendo dominated the market. The clocks are made of a single 1/16" thick PVC disc with a mounting bracket located on the back. Hammer a nail into a wall and then hook the clock onto it. DONE. The diameter of each clock measures 25cm or 9.84" and the hands on each timepiece are colored white for stark contrast against the background colors. A single AA battery (not included) keeps the clock ticking.

   We figure all three clocks would mesh well in our little Nintendo shrine where munchkin visitors may alight on the retro flavored Famicom cushions and fiddle around with Nintendo sound keychains. Pricing is set at US$38.90 each and all preorders ship today. New orders are welcome.

   Orders ship same-day if ordered before 4PM EDT.
