The Famicom Scion Probably Costs More than 100 Coins
The guys at the fabulous Giant Robot magazine got to design their own Scion, and the result was this retro gaming/Nintendo/Famicom masterpiece above. My only genuine complaint is that the door opening noises are much too long, and would get real old, real quick. My other complaints are just me being trying to be funny: Do you have to blow in the ignition before you get it to start? If you’re low on gas, can you enter the Konami code? If you drive off a bridge, can you call Lakitu to pull the car back on the road? Thanks to BlackKristos for the tip.
