Here's the original post.
You can see my camera is now in a lower position for a better perspective. Something else I discovered was the left flash was moved to in front of the subject. This helps illuminate the logo details.
I wanted to have that strong blue background like in the previous attempt but I think the front flash was killing a lot of the blue color of the already light blue of the bedroom wall.
The main problem was the glass platform. I changed the orientation so that I'm shooting down the glass. This allows me to have my camera at the same height as the subject. I also used a different light configuration. Unfortunately, I didn't capture a picture of the real setup. The right flash was handheld on top of the subject to create those highlights.
Here's the setup:

I made sure to clean the Nintendo and the glass platform very well. Unfortunately, I didn't see that it left some dust. I could've used my camera air blaster to remove the remaining dust.
This was shot with my Fujifilm X-T20 + Rokinon 50mm 1.2 and my 2 Yongnuo (YN650 and YN560III) flashes.
This is out of camera raw with Lightroom presets (Adobe Color):

I'm much more satisfied with this shot. Sometimes I wish I had a 3rd or 4th flash but I will try to find alternatives for my next shots. I think you can achieve a lot with reflectors and white cardboard.
