If Dark Souls Was Made For The NES
This year's excellent action-RPG Dark Souls felt sort of like an old-school NES game in terms of its brutal difficulty. Now thanks to a mystery package that showed up in the Game Informer office, it's even easier to imagine this team-up having existed.
This awesome fake NES cartridge comes via 72 Pins and was sent to GI's resident Dark Souls fanatics -- Andrew Reiner, Jim Reilly, and myself. In addition to the image on front pictured above, there's also a some hilarious warnings on the back. Check it out:
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.
