Does anyone know what dimensions these stickers need to be? im thinking about photoshopping up the spiky haired sticker (I'm a big AVGN fan) and ordering some high quality vinyl stickers and i don't want to have them come and be too small or big. i can't get my hands on an official nes conntroller right now, but i'll be picking some up soon.

Check out my youtube channel! No videos posted as of yet, but some coming in the near future!

I don't know the exact dimensions, I haven't actually printed any of these yet. Maybe somebody with a ruler and a controller could measure the dimensions of a faceplate for us.

You can actually post the overlays you make in this other thread, it's specifically for custom user-made overlays:

This thread is more for scans of retro overlays that existed back in the 80s and 90s.


Edit: Are the scans missing from the first post for anyone else? I can't see them for some reason, and some text from the post appears to be missing too.

Hi, I would LOVE to buy one of the spiky haired dude's overlays and they aren't anywhere on ebay (right now) so, I am willing to buy them from anyone as long as they are authentic and not repro's. PM me if you have an offer. Thanks - Ben

Alright, my friends! As promised, Hi-Res scans of the elusive controller overlays!

These are the two small changes I made to ensure these aren't sold as originals:
1. The word "Power" on the Blue sticker has been changed to "Repro".
2. The triangles have been removed from the Purple sticker.

Click the image to see the full-sized version. Enjoy!!!




I don't suppose that you could put up a scan of the spiky haired guy that says Power instead of Repro ? I can't find this particular sticker anywhere else.

I have a couple of friends who actually work at Nintendo, I will see if I can find out more info on where these stickers came from. Someone there has got to know!

I used all my contacts that I knew when I was in the marketing biz, but I just could not find a place that does custom stickers like ones I'd need for overlays. You'd have to print them on vinyl (that would wear the least, at least I would think so) and cut them with an X-acto knife yourself. The only problem is the cost (due to ink  colors, materials, and size). I could not find a place that would give me what I wanted at an affordable price. Anywho, I think maybe somebody could help us... please? I'd love to see these on a controller one day.








I have so many more designs too... I wish I could find a way to get these to people.

Is this project dead? I'm curious because I just picked up a controller with the blue spikey haired guy on it. I actually almost passed on it, but the fact the sales rep mentioned it was a Nintendo Power sticker sold me. While the front of the controller is a bit yellowed, the sticker seems to be in good condition. I could disassemble the controller if I can track down a scanner on my college campus.

edit: I just noticed that's supposedly this one had been scanned even though the file is no longer hosted. If I had noticed originally when I was trying to read this thread on my phone on a greyhound bus, I wouldn't have posted. Sorry. Though it'd be cool if the files could be reuploaded.
