Poké Ball and Game Boy-themed 3DS mock-ups

Just posting these with the hope that someone will feel inspired to modify their system with similar looks. I really like the Poké Ball design (both are from Wenis), but I’d prefer Nintendo of America bringing over th Charizard XL. Hey, we got the Pikachu XL with Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, so it could happen with Pokémon X and Y!

Wonderful bootleg Game Boy cartridges

I found my favorite new tumblr: 76~10MG IN 1. It’s a collection of photos for clone systems and bootleg carts taken from auction sites, like that Chobits-looking thing that’s apparently a Shin Megami Tensei game. I love adding posts to our #bootleg tag.

Game Boy and Game Gear photos by Aled Evans

Two-button Street Fighter does not sound fun (from what I remember, Mortal Kombat for Game Boy was straight-up basura), but these old sprites overlaid into real-world environments would be a dream to see on handhelds.

Game Boy and Fox

Two comics about the old handheld brick for your morning, the top one from Lamar Abrams and the other from Kyle Fewell. What a wonderful time we live in, when we can just wake up and have a couple Game Boy comics waiting for us.

Animal Crossing: New LeafPokémon Red/Blue

Here’s another 8-bit RPG-inspired town that one user created for others to dream walk through (last time we showed you one for Dragon Quest).

Merong Crossing, which has been a treasure trove for fun AC:NL shots, says you can access this town with the following dream code: “1200 - 1040 - 9659”.

Don’t forget that Amazon has AC:NL preorders available with a $5 discount!

Game Boy carts and boxes were an accessory at Williamsburg Fashion Weekend 2013

The t-shirts, t-skirts, and Game Boy necklaces (they look like print-outs and not the actual carts) are from fashion and graphic pop artist Marco Santaniello. Photos by Jena Cumbo, make up by Dori Hmua.

Do You Believe In Life After Love?

After a few fake-outs at the beginning, Ro-Bear delivers a rousing chiptune cover of Cher’s song “Believe” that has the crowd at Philly’s 8static singing along. Thanks for attending and capturing this moment, Albotas!

Let’s all go into the weekend in this spirit: stretched out on a cushion, just playing whatever makes us happy, whether it’s Fire Emblem or Mega Man 2 – oh yeah, Mega Man 2’s out on eShop this week! – or something from the backlog.

BMO Boy by Clog Two

The other chap next to the adorable Adventure Time portable is MO-Death, whom Clog Two describes as “a circuit board being, that awaits BMO’s last breath.” But… I don’t want BMO to die ever.

Gravity Falls chip cover - Crab

Gravity Falls chip cover

Crab

Here’s a fantastic LSDJ cover of the theme from one of my favorite animated shows, Gravity Falls. The liberties Crab/Nestor Ovilla takes with the details of the theme are perfect, they make it a party jam without losing the very unique Gravity Falls melody.

p.s. if you haven’t seen Gravity Falls, you really should, even if only for the AMAZING animations Paul Robertson made for one episode.
