Remember the iPad iCade from ThinkGeek, which turned out to be a stinking April Fool's joke (one of the best we've seen)? It may not have had us going for too long, but, boy, did we want one...

Well, soon, maybe we can!

Tuaw has posted that avid gamer Hideyoshi Moriya has built his own version out of cardboard, glue and an Arduino board - that's not something you're likely to see on Blue Peter.

And he's even made a video of it in action [above]. What a clever chap.
