Pi-tendo is a RetroPie console I built as a gift for my brother. A Raspberry Pi sits inside a case I designed and printed to look like an original Nintendo, loaded with several of the original games.

The case opens like a laptop to show the screen inside. A small round display runs a digital clock from an Arduino that gets its time over Wi-Fi. Two old school Nintendo-style controllers plug in, plus a tiny keyboard.

It really didn't need a keyboard; leaving it out would have saved me some trouble.
