This Re-imagined SNES Is Transparently Awesome

And awesomely transparent, too.

And it’s for real.

This re-imagined or refurbished SNES will be available for sale soon from RoseColored Gaming.

The units are actual consoles – the innards are the same as the ones we used to play with as kids. The magic happened when the casing was replaced AND a few touches here and there were added to the inside components. Just because.

These SNES consoles have been treated to a 100% brand new, hand-built exterior, all while retaining complete original function.  Each is assembled by hand with the care and attention to detail that you have come to expect from RCG.  The housing consists of laser cut and etched acrylic components which have been drilled, bent, bonded, threaded, & assembled using all new anodized aluminum hardware.  Many internal components have been slathered in various finishes then etched in order to accentuate items which were never meant to be seen.

As you can imagine, the transparent SNES supply chain isn’t going to be an endless one. In fact, its makers have already announced that it’s a limited edition release – VERY limited. So if you’re a big Nintendo fan, you have to be on top of your game to make sure you get there first.

Thing is, the transparent SNES isn’t available yet, and there is no release date specified. What you can do instead is to stalk the website.

Here’s another look to get you all worked up.

This transparent SNES prototype by Rose Colored Gaming is majestic, isn’t it? https://t.co/5E61Y3cNLd (More pics: https://t.co/Z1ixw1K6Px.) pic.twitter.com/mw7We12JQ1
