Wow is all I can Say
This might be going to far. I can’t see this in a house unless it was already built in to the existing structure. Having this sticking our from the wall might make some significant others a little upset. It is available though. It is called a Cozy Room to allow for a secluded gaming experience or watching movies, sporting events, studying and what ever else you can think. They cabinets can be custom built or you could just order the mass production model. The mass produced model will set you back 398,800 Yen ($3,910.00) or if you opt for a custom cabinet 798,000 Yen ($7,823.00).

Nintendo Art Auction for Autism
Thanks to AnimeNews Network for this information. The Animation and Illustration students of San Jose State University created art by using their favorite Nintendo games as inspiration. The assignment is finished and they have elected to offer their pieces in an online auction. The proceeds that are raised from the auction will be donated to the Morgan Autism Center. This is one I will definitely keep my eye on to see if I can win a piece, for as you know Logan, one of our Co-Hosts, has a form of Autism, which is Asperger’s.
This is your chance to own a one of a kind piece of art and help out the medical field in studying autism. Here is the link to view the art pieces and sign up for the auction to bid: https://www.doodlebender.com/auctions/press-start-nintendo-charity-gallery/items
