Mario Bros T-Shirts from 22.95 $

If you, like us, are part of the generation that grew up with the first or second wave of video gaming, you will understand the nostalgia that we’re talking about when it comes to game classics like Mario Bros. or The Legend of Zelda.

Objectively and with the standards of today, late-eighties Nintendo Gameboys were plastic bricks with few possibilities, a crappy low-contrast display and annoying 8bit sounds. However, most of us have spent countless hours with it, waiting for the school bus, on rainy afternoons or clandestinely playing the last levels in bed. This generation growing up celebrates a sentimental glorification of earlier computer games like PacMan, Pong or Tetris.

The 8bit aesthetic, born of limited technical possibilites, has become an art of its own. Think of pixel artists like eboy or 8bit music, be it the so-called Nintendocore of Horse The Band or the Beatles versions of 8bit operators (just discovered via Nerdcore).

So, with all game classics like Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart or Donkey Kong still playable and emulated online, they are not only unforgotten, but still alive and kicking. We created a bunch of geek T-shirts as a tribute to these games and the fun we had with them. First off: the Mario Bros. T shirts, the cute star and the Mario Bros mushroom T-Shirt which will give you super powers and extra lives as long as you wear them.

The Zelda T-Shirt features the logo prominently and looks great on you even for those who don’t know its origin. When you create a custom T-shirt with this design, gold foil print on black tee is highly recommended.

The Donkey Kong shirt is a great idea for an instant Halloween costume: dress & ape.

To be able to laugh about the Mario Kart T-Shirt you have to know the game of course. Otherwise it’s not too obvious why you would throw turtle shells and banana skins at other karts.
