Everybody loves retro, which is why old products are always being marketed in new ways such as the Hulger Retro Phone, and Nintendo's famous vanguard, the Famicom, has been bestowed the honor of its controller being turned into a TV remote control. The D-pad functions as a channel browser, the Start button turns on the TV (naturally), the Select button lets you choose your input source, while the A and B buttons are used in setting the controller with the TV up. Each unit costs $20 and comes with a pair of Mario stickers. The Nintendo Remote is powered by a couple of AAA batteries, and pressing Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, A, B, Select, and Start will upgrade your TV into 1080p resolution magically. All right, you caught us out on the last one, but it must've been a case of bad mushrooms...
