R2-D2 Eight Retro Console Enclosure with Controllers

A PopSci reader, probably out of boredom, decided to convert a life-size Star Wars R2-D2 droid cooler into the ultimate mobile retro gaming system — complete with its own sound system and video projector.

The R2-D2 houses a Xbox, PlayStation 1 & 2, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, GameCube and Dreamcast (I may be wrong but those are the controllers I recognize). The other peripherals are probably for specialized game genres.

While it’s a cool looking idea, I frankly can’t imagine where the game media would go. I mean, all I see are controller ports on the front. The R2-D2 droid has also been fitted with a sound system along with a projector on its top dome (pretty much the same as the real Star Wars counterpart).

It would’ve been nice to see the thing in video, actually working.
