N64 Controller Exploded Wall Art: Japanese Archival Edition

"If it’s not something we’d proudly hang on our own wall, it doesn’t leave the workshop."

Every piece starts with an original Nintendo 64 controller that has survived nearly three decades of gaming history.

Handmade in the UK by lifelong Nintendo enthusiast and Zelda fan Kai, these exploded-view displays are created one at a time using carefully sourced authentic controllers. Rather than reproductions or modern replicas, each piece is built from genuine Nintendo hardware, preserving the details that defined a generation of gaming.

The controller is meticulously disassembled, with every component individually mounted to reveal the engineering hidden inside. The result is part artwork, part museum exhibit — a celebration of one of the most iconic controllers ever made.

But what matters most is the attention to detail behind the scenes.

The background artwork is professionally printed onto premium Foamex board for a clean, durable finish. Every component is carefully positioned by hand, and each completed frame is individually inspected for alignment, presentation, and imperfections such as glue marks or blemishes.

Whether it reminds you of late-night Mario Kart battles, discovering Hyrule for the first time, or simply represents a love of gaming history, this piece brings a genuine piece of the Nintendo 64 era into your space.

Designed for collectors, gamers, and anyone who appreciates thoughtful craftsmanship, each frame is a conversation piece with a story behind it — built by a fan, for fans. Nearly 30 years after the Nintendo 64 launched, these original controllers are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making every piece a small preservation project as much as a work of art.
