What, you weren't satisfied with your NES controller
optical mouse? You wanted something a little more panache, with a certain je ne sais quoi, oui? Enter the
NES TV remote. Besides, it makes a lot more sense than a mouse—hey, the NES controller belongs in your living room,
buddy. Ah, yes, janky hacks that poignantly remind us of the folly of youth. Ok, so what's next on the list, NES
controller flash audio player, NES controller cellphone, or NES controller laptop?

"Je ne sais quoi," perhaps? Unless you were purposely trying to avoid the cliche.

#1, the French used is appropriate for Engadget editor(s), as it implicitly means "I don't have a clue"...

I'm holding out for the NES controller Ipod.
Now THAT would be worth it.

I would like you and your friends who made these projects on the base of an NES controller to submit them to factories that will mass-produce and sell them to stores. People will flock for NES controller style items (e.g. computer mouse, TV remote, MP3 player, etc.). Do you think it would be a good idea? Maybe you could set a royalty payment plan in case Nintendo sues you guys.
