Modified Ninja Turtles NES sold for $1,725

Turtle power goes old school.

Published 2014-09-03

There aren't any shortage of modified NES units on Ebay and collectors tend to pay good money for them. But prizes as high as $1,725 is a rarity, yet that is exactly what someone in the end paid for this modified Party Wagon NES.

And of course it's something really extra about it. It is famous modder Ryan Fitzpatrick, better known on the internet under the handle Platinumfungi, that has outdone himself by nicely building a fully functional NES into the classic Ninja Turtles party wagon. It even has details like Leonardo at the wheel while Michelangelo sits shotgun, eating a pizza - with cabin lights (that can be turned on even without starting the console). Fortunately, the wheels are locked so no risk that this master piece should roll of your shelf while you are playing.

All the necessary cables are included in the package and matching custom painted controllers that mimic the design and colour palette of the van. The only thing not included is the great Ninja Turtles games that was released for NES. But other than that, we just want to express our most humble "Cowabunga" for this great piece of craftmanship!
