If you’ve ever wanted an NES or Genesis controller belt buckle, you are in luck geeky readers. You can also get SNES, Atari, and NES Advantage styles. They range in price from $30 to $50. Hold your pants up in style while you’re shooting for the high score in a classic game of pocket pinball.

Word of warning: The Atari joystick one makes it look like you have a second retro wang.

Time to get your geek on.

• The record to solve a Rubik’s cube is 9.18 seconds. Me? I’ve never even come close to solving that thing. Maybe I need this DIY kit to teach me how to become a speed cuber.

Kotaku has some screenshots that could be from Sonic Unleashed. The screenshots have a CG introduction showing Super Sonic being defeated by Eggman. Video after the jump.
