With a 3D TV and a unique mounting system consisting of various home supplies, this seems like it was quickly crossed off the list.<\/p>\n<p>But what about the 3DS&#8217; other notable features? This wouldn&#8217;t be an accurate build without a giant Circle Pad and central home button now, would it? Worry not, the upgrade incorporates these elements too. The Circle Pad is particularly impressive to us, utilising an old Android phone and a series of rubber bands to make the darn thing snap back into place just like it does on Nintendo&#8217;s innovative little console.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\"><!-- cache: oembed\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/bigrigcreates\/statuses\/1636112264074870786 @ 2023-03-16T17:12:36+00:00 --><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This guy made a giant 3DS using a 3D TV and a touchscreen table.
