Modern Games + NES Art And Carts = Neato
Do you have shelves that need filling? Do you like video games? Are you a fan of that crazy 8-bit retro thing that the kids just seem to go wild over these days? If you answered "yes" to at least two of those questions, this could be the most incredible day of your entire life. 72 Pins is selling genuine NES carts plastered with spiffy retro art based on contemporary games. And they are awesome.
72 Pins has a bunch of games in its roster, from a variety of different artists. They're $20 a pop, and include art based on such heavy hitters as God of War, BioShock, Halo, and Dead Space. Better still, Okami is available (love it!!!), and carts based on Resident Evil, Super Meat Boy, and PaRappa the Rapper (lovelovelovelovelove) are coming soon.
The carts are technically functional, though they're not related to the games pictured on them. Think of it this way: In addition to getting a nice little chunk of art, you're also getting a surprise! Wow ! Also, these will eliminate the embarrassing problem of Bare Shelf Syndrome.
And that completes my mandatory public service for the day.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
