{{systemCode|text}}
...for example, the old Konami code might end up being represented this way:
{{NESCode|Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, then press Start.}}
The template would parse the text, replacing Up/Down/Left/Right/B/A/Start with the relevant images, and print out the rest of the text (the commas, period and "then press") as-is. Each of the images would also have alt-text explaining what pad/button-press they are, just to be sure (well, okay, those of us with bad eyesight...
).
There would be variants, of course; PSXCode, SNESCode, etc.

This sounds good. The template would just replace the names with images, so you could just write normally.
I notice, however, a distinct lack of direction icons (just solid shaded triangles would be fine), and that yellow B button just looks like a yellow circle.
