    Gunpei Yokoi Remembered In Papercraft

    This is a papercraft model of Nintendo's own late, great Gunpei Yokoi. Considering the amount of papercraft we see that's devoted to Nintendo characters, it's a strangely fitting tribute to the father of the Game & Watch, Game Boy, Metroid and Kid Icarus. Click through for the full, downloadable template, which is courtesy of Raccoon Sam. More »

    Super Papercraft Mario: The Hat!

    If you're looking for something to do with your Wednesday night's wee hours, perhaps the pasting together of dozens of pieces of paper to form a DIY Mario cap will do the trick. This is papercraft not for the faint of heart, but one of the rare wearable pieces of video game papercraft that we've seen in our travels on the internet. Should you have the patience to download the PDFs and the printer ink to power through, be sure to tip us with your creation. We'd love to see the soul brave enough to take this project on. More »

    Papercraft Half Life D0g is Amazle

    Reader Metal Dom found this on 4chan — a 12-inch high, incredibly detailed papercraft model of D0g, from Half Life. 4chan user chamoo232 assembled it, said it took two weeks and nearly 50 hours of work. The pose captures D0g's lumbering, bucket-of-bolts gait and rip-your-arms-off awesomeness. Win. Several more pics at the link, which, I'm aware is 4chan, but /po/ is not at all like /b/, so don't worry about what you'll see. More »

This is her latest work, and yes, it's GTA IV, complete with cute little paper Niko, cute little paper buildings and cute little train whizzing by on cute little paper tracks.

    Papercraft: Dragon Quest Mimic

    It's been a while since our last papercraft and given the slow post GDC weekend I figured it would be a good time to pull out some cardstock and get our craft on. This week's offering comes from that bastion of papercraftery, Paperkraft.net. The model is of a Mimic chest from Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. These feisty little guys like to disguise themselves as treasure chests and when you go to open them, they launch their attack. This is a fairly simple model for those of you just getting started in the fine art papercraft. For our more experienced crafters, you might try these Chromehound models. More »

    The Mario Birthday Party You Wish You Had

    I was impressed and a wee bit jealous last year when I posted about four year old George's Mario themed birthday party but these photos from Ethan's Mario/Video Game themed party have left me longing for the days when I could have a cool themed birthday party without people looking askance. An awesomely decorated cupcake table (above), Mario and Luigi papercraft favors, homemade Boo and Kirby pinatas, Mario and Luigi hats, a Yoshi Egg Hunt and a tastefully and detailed decorated back yard. If only cool stuff like that had been available when we were kids we might have been spared the horrors of party clowns. More »

    Papercraft: Optimus Prime

    In honor of the Transformers movie opening next week and the deluge of Transformers games out this week, I present to you the Optimus Prime papercraft model by Paper Robot. Optimus is looking fine in his olde school duds and the best part? He's poseable and actually transforms with the help of some rubber bands! Be warned, this model is complicated and NOT for beginners. Seasoned papercrafters only on this one. And kids, don't forget to have you parents help you cut out the pieces! Flynn De Marco More »

There are 21 characters in total ranging from Pikmin to Pikachus, sprinkled with a couple of Mario friend favorites like Bowser and Toadstool. If you can't choose which one to make first, you can also download them all in one convenient package and go nuts this weekend. More fun than most things you can do with paper and it's free.

    Papercraft: The Other Link Model

    I've pointed to a Link papercraft model before, but it was unfortunately less than stellar and now no longer exists. This version however is pretty sweet. This is the original Chokipeta model of Wind Waker Link and can be downloaded in PDF form and can be downloaded via RapidShare from the link below. For once, I'm actually going to get off my duff and try putting this guy together. I will see how my very un-nimble fingers do on this one and post the end product next weekend regardless of how terrible or great it may be. So tune in next week for the final results!

    The incredible Chamoo232 does it again with this stunning papercraft version of Cerberus from Kingdom Hearts (originally from Disney's Hercules). Chamoo232 gives this model a 5/5 difficulty rating and warns that this is definitely NOT for beginners. I wish I couls make some sort of big paper trophy for Chamoo232 as the papercrafts put out are always stellar. The work put into these is substantial and deserve your support. So, if you are a paper craft lover, please go to Chamoo232's website and help support this great artist. And yes, by "support" I mean give money. Flynn De Marco More »

    Today's papercraft is a bit esoteric, but still kind of cool nonetheless and it's simple to put together!

If it doesn't work for you on a Final Fantasy level, you can always use it as a decorative doorknocker on your paper mansion. More »

    Papercraft: Phoenix Wright

    Paperkraft.net points us to Court-Records.net where they have posted this great Phoenix Wright papercraft model. Also available are models of Mia Fey and everyone's favorite frilly collar wearing attorney, Edgeworth. All three models look fairly easy to put together with the possible exception of Phoenix's trademark spiky do. Just be careful you don't lop off a few spikes while your cutting him out. I particularly like the "Objection!" word balloon that accompanies it. Nice touch! Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the Court-Records page to find the models. Flynn De Marco More »

    If you've tired of dying Easter Eggs but still feeling the urge to be crafty, I've got a great papercraft for you. Today's offering is Sophitia from the Soul Edge/Soul Calibur series. This is a fan made papercraft by rokunoya and Sophitia's look here is very anime style. My only gripe is that the scoring lines are on the outside and there is no non score line version available, but then again, that's why we have Photoshop.
