The modern trend towards digital downloads means fewer and fewer games are suffering the plight of shelves overflowing with cartridges and game boxes. But for anyone that still enjoys playing their favourite retro titles on their NES or Game Boy, then storage solutions are still very much a necessity.

Of course, you can hide your cartridges away in a drawer, with a 3D printed organizer like this, but if you want to show off your retro collection, there are other options.

For example, this vertical stand can show off your rare and prized possessions to anyone that visits your gaming den. By 3D printing several, you could easily create a huge sea of cartridges to house hundreds of games.

Controllers are an important part of gaming since they are how you tell the computer what you want the playable character to do. Modern consoles all ship with pretty comfortable controllers that have clearly been designed to be as ergonomic as possible. This is especially evident when you compare a retro SNES gamepad with the standard controller that ships with the Xbox Series X.

That said, anyone looking to gain a little extra advantage over their rivals might want to try modding their controller with 3D printed parts.

These augmentations can give you easier access to important inputs or give you more grip on your analog sticks during those long (and sometimes sweaty) gaming sessions.

One popular choice is Knobby, a controller stick extension that increases the height of the analog sticks and adds a tactile star pattern that increases the friction between it and your thumb.

Other options make Nintendo Switch controllers easier to hold or add a mini steering wheel for more intuitive input when playing racing games.
