The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary t-shirt by The King of Games, printed on either forest green or black, using “pearl/metallic grey” ink for the shield design and gold for the Triforce.

According to the t-shirt company, this design will only be printed once, and will only be available for pre-order from December 24 through February 20, worldwide. There’s no price yet, but it’ll likely be around ¥5,000 ($64).

The KOG site also offers this cool factoid about the Famicom-style shipping boxes they use: “KOG customers know that every shirt or parka comes packaged in a cool box, but did you know that the boxes are printed at the actual factory used to print Famicom boxes in the 80’s and 90’s?”

Wrecking Crew shirt by The King of Games. These guys got pretty lucky that the Ambassador Program thing happened this month; how unlikely is it that Wrecking Crew would suddenly be relevant just as this t-shirt was coming out? It’s a miracle.

Arkanoid and Kung-Fu Master shirts by The King of Games’ DotLike line. These are less ornate than the usual KOG/DotLike shirts, especially that Arkanoid shirt that’s just the logo on the front — but they still got the details right.

…By which I mean the Arkanoid shirt has the attract mode text, which is the best thing about that game, on the back. They sell for ¥5,145 ($67) each, and are currently only available through the Japanese shop.

Ice Climber and Ice Hockey t-shirts by The King of Games. I don’t know why the Nintendo-licensed shirt company picked the beginning of summer to release shirts based on two wintry Famicom games!

Both shirts feature cross-stitched sprites, the Ice Hockey shirt with a line of players and the Ice Climber shirt with Popo emerging from the front pocket. Those are nice details for, you know, deluxe The King of Games prices.

Does anyone have any nostalgia for Ice Hockey? I’m not even actually sure I’ve ever played it!

Bubble Bobble, The Legend of Kage, and Front Line shirts from The King of Games’s DotLike series. These Taito-licensed shirts will be released in Japan November 6, for ¥5,145 ($64) each…

If there’s ever been a t-shirt I’d consider paying $64 on, it’s that Legend of Kage design. Check out that dope situation! Kage all reading his scroll, ninjas all dropping out of the sky against a giant moon.

Buy: The Legend Of Kage 2 ($14!)

Dr. Mario and Clu Clu Land shirts by The King of Games. The latest shirts from the Nintendo-licensed company feature references to Dr. Mario’s music and the phrase “Dr. Stop!” spelled out in capsules and viruses, and Clu Clu Land coins arranged in iconic shapes. I love them. They’re ¥5,500 ($63) each…

Also included is a picture of industry legend, Dr. Mario composer, and swingset enthusiast Hirokazu “Hip” Tanaka modeling a Dr. Mario shirt with the utmost dignity.

Ultimate 16bit Machine Super Famicom shirts from The King of Games, available in white and gray.

These tees commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Super Famicom’s release in Japan, which is coming up this November! The shop taking preorders for the shirts right now, pricing each one at ¥5,500 ($62) before shipping.

While we’re on the topic of throwback tees, Club Nintendo in Japan added some fresh designs for its loyal customers/members. Ever the pessimist, I don’t expect Club Nintendo to offer the shirts in other regions — and if they do, it’s unlikely they will have as many artwork options or the interchangeable colors/elements.

Pictures from The King of Games’s 8th anniversary exhibition in Shibuya. The t-shirt company is celebrating 8 years of 8-bit shirts with this event, showcasing all the designs it’s made, many of which were officially licensed by Nintendo. The event is also decorated with vintage Nintendo stuff!

If you happen to be in Tokyo (I sure don’t), the exhibition runs through June 6 at Shibuya Parco Part 1, on the sixth floor.
