Dress your DS games in Tiny Cartridge X Mare Odomo stickers! →

I’m unable to control my excitement about getting to reveal the culmination of literally years of secret work: our Tiny Cartridge X Maré Odomo “Tiny Cart Sticker Pack,” produced and sold by Fangamer. 

With these, you can decorate your DS or 3DS cartridges (or, anything, really) with the face of our mascot or the cover of an imaginary game by Maré!

Each sheet includes:

  • Face in a Cart - Tiny Cartridge’s iconic mascot, now available as a for-real tiny cartridge
  • Letters to an Absent Father - A tender note from Maré Odomo’s wistful comic series
  • (Creepy) Black - Own the haunted game, the creepiest of pastas
  • Kissing Party - Give your lips practice with casual pecks or passionate make-out moments
  • A special (virtual) gift!

This is basically my favorite thing we’ve ever done, and you can get your own sheet for $5. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks to Fangamer and Maré for working with us on this weird daydream of a project, and thanks to you for even briefly considering a purchase!

Tiny Cartridge in Enslaved: Odyssey to the West? Reader Monodi pointed us to this character art from the upcoming Enslaved ”Pigsy’s Perfect 10” DLC, in which Oolong Pigsy is accompanied by this robotic flying drone thing with a very familiar face.

Yes, I know that a pixelated blue smiley face isn’t necessarily a direct reference to our website, but I find that the world is a much more enjoyable place to live in when I can visualize it as the kind of place where people working on multi-million-dollar game projects for giant publishers let enjoyment of our website help steer their art direction. Plus, that face really looks like Tiny.

Buy: Enslaved: Odyssey To The West (part of Amazon’s 3-for-2 sale)

Tiny Cartridge in the Scott Pilgrim game? Reader Matty pointed out this detail in the background of one of the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World screenshots released during E3. It features tiny in-game representations of the covers of the Scott Pilgrim comics, with a kind of familiar-looking face where the as-yet unrevealed Volume 6 belonged.

Now, I’m not convinced it’s Tiny, but if you worked on the game, please write in and either confirm it or lie to us! 

In other (actual) Scott Pilgrim news, the PlayStation Blog posted a new trailer! With a killer new song!

Buy: Scott Pilgrim comics

Tiny Cartridge's masterminds unmasked! →

If you ever wanted to learn more about the two dudes that run this site, Things To Do In LA posted an interview with those assholes. The Q&A covers various topics: where JC and I get our links, how the site’s associated with 4CR, why we started Tiny Cartridge, and more.

It’s, um, an unconventional interview, but Tiny Cartridge is an unconventional site, so it can’t be helped.

While we’re wasting your afternoon with site-related junk, organizers for the Game Developers Conference uploaded video/slides from last March’s “Indie Game Maker Rant”, which featured a series of developers and notable figures from the indie community sharing their frustrations with the industry.

As I mentioned previously, as least two of the speakers gave Tiny Cartridge a shout-out (in a positive note), so, uh, yeah. Yay us. It’s a great/inspiring session, too!

Tiny Cartridge in 3D Dot Game Heroes. The in-game representation of our mascot isn’t perfect, due to sprite size limitations and artist terribleness (the artist being me), but it’s a pretty serviceable way to have Tiny save Dotnia as he was always destined to. Also, that screenshot is quite usable as desktop wallpaper. Just saying.

I’ve sent the data to the official character hub, but you don’t have to wait for Atlus to approve the design and post it: you can download the zip right here, follow the instructions here and have Tiny lost in a freaking dungeon in minutes!

At last, a Tiny Cartridge microgame! Superfan Lord Toon not only created a CycloDS theme, a Lego idol, and our current header image in Tiny’s honor; he also made this excellent WarioWare D.I.Y. microgame, in which you find and tap our mascot’s smiling face in a scrambling mess of flashcarts. He even mocked up a Famicom cart for us!

While praising the depth of Lord Toon’s devotion with my cohort JC, he admitted, “I kind of feel bad that he loves us that much.” I have to agree — anyone who’s ever dedicated their heart to us, either as individuals or as the duo behind this site, has received nothing but disappointment, shame, and regret in return. That’s our gimmick, I guess.

Oh, I have a backlog of links to WarioWare D.I.Y. videos that I’ve been meaning to share with you:

Why is there not a WarioWare D.I.Y. blog keeping track of these things?! (Don’t look at me, I already maintain too many damn video game sites).

A Tiny Christmas

Happy Holidays, Tiny Cartridge readers! We’ll be too busy spending time with our families to attend to the site, but we hope that you’re having a decent Christmas, that no one gives you a copy of Mega Man: Rush Marine (not sure how that would even be possible), and that if you try to commit suicide today, your attempt fails spectacularly.

Since we’re not here to entertain you, why not leave a comment about your favorite gifts this year and try to outdo each other to see who has the best family/friends?

*Tiny Cartridge would like to remind readers that Baby Jesus was not a DS cartridge born from the Blessed Virgin Mary’s womb.
