Perfect pouch for your Legend of Zelda 25th anniversary 3DS (click for larger images). Tepe hand-cut, hand-tooled, dyed, and painted this leather bag, which you can attach a wrist- or shoulder-strap to if you’re so inclined.
It’s an awesome accessory for Zelda fans looking to encase their 3DSes in Hylian gear, but it’s also quite expensive — commissioning Tepe to create one of these for you will set you back around $40.

Sculpture of Missile, Ghost Trick’s cute Pomeranian, by Leilia. This 2”x2.5” piece was crafted out of Super Sculpey polymer clay over a wire and foil armature, then painted with acrylic paints, and coated with a matte finish.
Did you hear that the Spike TV Video Game Awards nominated Ghost Trick for its Best Handheld/Mobile Game category (the show’s organizers felt it necessary to have separate categories for Individual and Team Sports games, but not so for these two different platforms)?
This excellent adventure game has tough competition, though: Super Mario 3D Land, Jetpack Joyride, and Infinity Blade — I’m unsure how the latter two iOS titles beat out Capybara’s Sword And Sworcery EP.

Dragon Quest Slime scarf by Etsy user GrandmasNook. There must be some part of the world where it isn’t 100+ degrees every day (though, after this summer, I literally can’t imagine what that’s like); if you happen to live in one of those places, this would make the perfect accessory for you.
“GrandmasNook” says that she made this crocheted Slime scarf because both her daughter and granddaughter are big Dragon Quest fans. “The slime is just adorable so I couldn’t resist making it!” Well, obviously!

Star Trek “Redshirt” DS case, knitted by Norwegian craftster Sandra (click for a larger image).

Each DS case (also suitable for cameras or other small gadgets) is designed to accommodate a 4.5” by 5” and has two interior pockets for games. Those buttons are just decorative; they actually have velcro.
Oh, and while I’m posting awesome handmade DS/3DS cases, whataboutki uses custom fabrics to make some really sharp Nintendo-themed cases, too.

Dragon Quest slime handbag by AtelierLune. You can buy the happy little guy right here for €20 (around $27).
Someone asked me recently why I haven’t posted a photoshopped image of Lil Wayne with the text “What’s poppin’ slime?” — well, I had not heard of the song in which he rapped that nonsensical line until this morning. And while I don’t have the time this weekend to whip up an image for you, I can provide you with a hypertext link of said song.

Crocheted Beemo with interchangeable game screens by Hookrat. I love those insertable cards — there’s one for Conversation Parade (my favorite!), the Abraham Lincoln fighting game, and the Space Invaders-style shooter.
Hookrat hasn’t completed this project, hence the missing buttons and limbs, but I can already tell this is something I need in my life. Beemo is like the perfect handheld; I hear it doesn’t even have region-locking or a friend codes.
Speaking of Adventure Time, I saw the best link ever yesterday: Rhombus TV, a streamlined site hosting every episode from the show’s two seasons! It’s totally not sanctioned by Cartoon Network, and it doesn’t work for everyone (JC wasn’t able to load it), but if the site stays up and loads in your browser, you’re in for a treat!

It’s a real Bubble Bat! You know, from Mega Man 2! Okay, maybe it’s not “real” in the sense that it’s going to drop down on you from the ceiling in Wood Man’s stage, but it’s a pretty convincing plush by Etsy user RabbitHollow, available for $50.
If you’d like something a bit more mass-produced, Protodude reports that Entertainment Earth is taking preorders on the American releases of the Kotobukiya Mega Man, Roll, and Protoman figures.

Gloves fashioned after Bloopers (those squid-things from Super Mario Bros.) by Omonomopoeia. They’re made of white fleece and black felt, and are perfect for terrifying plumbers as they swim under you.
This seems like such an obvious idea, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen any craftsters make a pair! If you want one, Omonomopoeia is selling the gloves in its Etsy shop for $15 (+$5 shipping) with customizable expressions.

She’s selling each of the cutouts on just archival paper through her Etsy shop for $40 each, and in shadow box frames for an extra $20.
Artist Persona, who let us know about the series, says the cutouts look phenomenal in person: “All the bosses have a nice texture to them, like Megaman with a velvety blue, and they’re made of thick paper stock so it’s pretty solid. Pretty cool to have hanging on the wall.”
Megan also takes commissions, so if you’d like her to create something similar for you, get in touch!

Ni no Kuni amigurumi: Shuzuku, the tear fairy that accompanies you in the upcoming Level-5/Studio Ghibli RPG, crocheted by Suravi (click for a larger image).
The game isn’t releasing in Japan for DS until this December (and for PS3 some time next year), but people are already making crafts based on its characters!
Level-5 can’t wait for the holidays to release Ni no Kuni either, as it’s already started putting out commercials in Japan. Check out these two spots it’s airing:
The first ad says, “This winter’s ultimate fantasy, from a dream staff,” while the second commercial boldly states, “The game you’re all looking forward to, Ni no Kuni, is the first game to come with a book of magic. We’ve been receiving a rush of inquiries, so you should quickly pre-order,” according to Andriasang.

The case, which sells for $30 on RabbitRampage’s Etsy shop, is made of “1mm cream and maroon colored felt with a cream felt lining.” It features a velcro closure, hand-cut felt details, a raised eject button, and a keyring.
The controller is sold separately for $13 and works as either a keychain or an attachment for the case. You could probably ask the artist to create a second player controller with a built-in microphone, too.
While you’re throwing out cash to complete your felt Famicom set, why not also buy a custom Disk System case, and then stack your Famicom pouch on top of it?
