Full description
NES replacement shell: a new, translucent housing for the front-loading console
The grey housing of the NES yellows, cracks and loses its screw posts over the years. This BitFunx replacement shell in translucent ABS reproduces the shape of the front-loading model and accepts American, European and Hong Kong motherboards. Three colours: clear, translucent black, translucent purple.
What it does
- Replaces a damaged housing: yellowed, cracked or with broken screw posts.
- US, EU and HK motherboards: the regional variants of the front-loading NES are covered, according to the manufacturer.
- Translucent ABS: the electronics remain visible, in three colours.
What it doesn't do
- It does not fit the top-loading NES (compact model) or the Famicom.
- Only the housing is guaranteed to be included: plan to reuse the screws, buttons, flap, springs and internal parts from your console.
- It does not fix a worn cartridge connector: it is a cosmetic part.
Compatibility
Front-loading NES, American, European and Hong Kong motherboards. Not compatible with the top-loading NES, the Famicom and its derivatives.
Skill level required
Intermediate, no soldering. You need to open the NES (Phillips screwdriver), remove the motherboard, the cartridge connector, the controller port board and the buttons, then reinstall everything in the new shell. Photograph each step and keep the screws in order.
In the box
- 1 replacement shell, in the chosen colour.
The console is not included.

The job: an NES that shows off its circuits
You open the console, photograph each step, remove the motherboard, the cartridge connector, the controller port board and the buttons, then install them in the new shell. With no soldering or cutting, a yellowed or cracked NES gets a clean, translucent housing that shows its original electronics.
The part: a BitFunx shell for three regions
BitFunx makes parts and accessories for retro consoles. This translucent ABS shell reproduces the shape of the front-loading NES and, according to the manufacturer, accepts American, European and Hong Kong motherboards. Three colours: clear, translucent black and translucent purple.
The support: disassembling in order
Have a Phillips screwdriver and a compartment box ready: the NES screws are not all the same length. Photograph each step before disassembling. A question about your model or a colour? Our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Frequently Asked Questions
🔧 Do I need to solder to change the shell?

The replacement shell in the chosen colour. Plan to reuse the screws, buttons, flap, springs and internal parts from your console.

A Phillips screwdriver and a box to keep the screws in the order they came out.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace
It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.
Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.
A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.
The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.
We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
