Classy, Classy Shadaloo Street Fighter Shirts

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:30:00 MDT

Yup. They're not just classy. They're classy classy. They're part of an upcoming Street Fighter II line by Triumvir, which will be out later in the year. These shirts, however, (also available in black, with matching caps) will be available this week at Comic Con. If you've always harboured a desire to be part of Bison's shady gang but lacked the physical chops, these are the safe, legal option for those feeling the need to nevertheless "represent".

Kick-Ass 1942 Shirt Sneaks in Cammy Appearance

Brian Crecente — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:00:00 MDT

If you're into all things Mike McWhertor, and who isn't, than you probably already know all about his video-game themed T-shirt venture: Meat Bun.

Today the shirtmaker dropped a sexy, new 1942-themed shirt on their site featuring Cammy from Street Fighter dressed up like a 1940's pin-up girl. The shirt comes in olive, gold and light blue and is currently tied for my personal favorite with Meat Bun's Street Fighter shirt.

If you're at Comic Con you should try to pick one up and then chase Mike down and force him to sign it or a body part in Sharpie blue.

More Fancy Metal Gear Solid 4 Tees

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 04:30:00 MDT

Uniqlo's Metal Gear Solid 4 t-shirts were nice. You never stood a chance of getting one, but hey, they were nice. These new shirts, being sold directly through Konami's store, are still Japanese, but are neither by Uniqlo nor as nice. But for the fashion-conscious MGS4 fan, hey, they'll do. They go on sale August 4, and if you get in quick enough, will cost you around $40. Western men of a more...robust nature should be aware, though, that they're only coming in M & L.

New King Of Games Tees Available Now!! Hey, ...

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 16:40:00 MDT

New King Of Games Tees Available Now!! Hey, remember when the King of Games announced it was making that sweet Kid Icarus tee? It's available right now, should you have the 4900 yen (plus shipping!) required to make it yours. No, not cheap. KOG also drops word that older styles have been reprinted, if there's some officially licensed Nintendo T you've always wanted.

Hang-On Shirt Bundled With Class, Not Master System

Luke Plunkett — Wed, 21 May 2008 06:20:00 MDT

What better way to show your love for the world's finest pack-in game than with these Super Hang-On shirts, the latest in King of Games' "Get Ready" line of Sega tees. It comes in a fetching shade of black, like you can see above, but also in white, should you be the type to make it all the way through a ribs night without a stain. As with all KoG tees, expect small sizes, hefty prices and limited availability, so don't dilly-dally.

After This, I Don't Want My GTA IV Collector's Edition Anymore

Luke Plunkett — Mon, 05 May 2008 07:00:00 MDT

Nope. Look, the lock-box, the artbook, they were all nice, but if I'd known that pre-ordering the game via Rockstar's own online store would get me this sweet Burger Shot t-shirt instead, I wouldn't have bothered with that whole midnight launch business. Reader Sulk sends these pics of his shirt, which while being far too large for his thin, Canadian frame is still an ideal size for framing and eternal admiration.

The Hundreds Do Rampage

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 02 May 2008 20:40:00 MDT

California-centric label The Hundreds—which has established a rabid fanbase in its few years on the streetwear scene—riffs some Rampage with its Summer line-up. Fans of George, Lizzie and Ralph can now hang with the Fairfax and Rosewood crowd without fear of persecution. Further proof that $30 is not too much for a quality t-shirt! Digital Gravel has it now in three colorways, if you're interested, but expect other boutique retailers to get their shipments soon.

More Hidden Streetwear In GTA IV

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 02 May 2008 04:30:00 MDT

Just as a quick follow-up to last night's post, it looks like Rockstar have collaborated with a lot more than just RockersNYC when clothing the denizens of Liberty City. Players have since spotted some of the game's NPCs sporting LRG's "Dead Serious" hoodies, which means the game's probably full of this kind of unannounced, niche-targeted advertising. Sneaky, and no doubt equal parts fascinating to marketing students and streetwear fashionistas alike.

You Are A Tie, Not Guitar, Hero

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 22:30:00 MDT

Cute. Currently on sale at Zazzle, and taking the 80's keyboard tie as inspiration, this Guitar Hero-themed neck tie is subtle enough that the bolder office workers amongst you may actually be able to pull it off. So long as you explain to your co-workers that horizontal patterns are all the rage in Milan this year. And don't explain that you set a new Tie Hero high score this morning when you totally nailed a double windsor in less than 30 seconds.

Need Cufflinks? Will Wii Remote Cufflinks Do?

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 15:40:12 MDT

Cufflinks aren't just for middle managers and the men to whom they suck up, you know. They're for gaming fashionista business types too! Or so we think based on the fact that Cufflinks.com is now shilling this Wii Remote and Nunchuk cufflink combo, a steal at $150 USD. They're sterling silver, perfect for the subtle embarrassment of your date at future formal events. For the wildly unfastened on the Sony side, you may be more interested in the DualShock-like offering.

You Know You Want Official Devil May Cry Cardigans

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 02:30:00 MDT

The Devil May Cry series has been a lotta things, but masculine is not one of them. Something about all those exposed chests and red coats and wonderful haircuts. So it's poignant that the official Devil May Cry range of menswear - due to be released in Japan next month - will forgo hoodies and caps in favour of gear including a couple of exquisite cardigans and leather-pocketed polo shirts. With tiny, elegant belts attached, of course. They'll come in two styles (Dante and Nero), and at a price only the most fashion-conscious Capcom aficionado could bear to pay, with the polos priced at USD$75 and the cardigans at USD$105 (Nero) and USD$125 (Dante). Looks a lot, but for the convenience of having a belt on your shirt, it's totally worth it.

Target Dump Indie Gaming Shirts

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 21:40:00 MDT

Hope you rushed in and bought some of those indie gaming shirts while you could, because no sooner do we start heaping praise upon Target for selling them than we hear they've pulled the shirts. Because they weren't selling. One of the developers whose game was featured has told Boing-Boing Gadgets:

[EGP T-shirts] sold slightly less then what Target views as good enough to keep in store. But [the distributors] are going to try the line out at places like Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters in the coming months. We will see how it goes.

Hot Topic? Surely things haven't gotten that dire, have they?

Meat Bun: Steamy Hot Game Shirts + Mike

Brian Crecente — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:00:00 MDT

Instead of doing extra posts on Kotaku about important things, Mike McWhertor has been squandering his valuable time creating his own company, Meat Bun. Combining his love of t-shirts and video games, Mike foolishly went into business with friend and Pikachu belly enthusiast Scott Spatola, creating a line of game-themed tees. He's been wearing them at events and TV appearances all year, cruelly teasing that they'd be coming any day now.

Any day now... any day now. But finally, they're here. Go check out the Meat Bun store and give him some money so he forgets about that nasty "raise" business.

Handmade Super Smash Shoes

Brian Crecente — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:05:48 MDT

Reader Joseph Colon emails to tell us that he was so psyched about the pending release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl last week that he had to express it, artistically. Colon ran out and bought himself a pair of white Air Force 1s and then filled up all that empty space with some beautiful Super Smash art work. In fact all 36 characters are shown on the shoes.

How freakin' awesome is that?

Tetris Skirt Makes Me Resent My Penis

Mark Wilson — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:20:09 MST

Needless to say, men have it pretty good as far as general anatomical conveniences are concerned. But the trade-off of social stigmas regarding dress-wearing are starting to chafe now that we've found this Tetris skirt that goes for a mere $45 on Etsy. We recommend you find a girlfriend, relocate to Scotland, crush our post-Puritan social norms or, in the rare case that you are a actually a female who hasn't felt too ostracized by this post to stop reading by now, buy the skirt for yourself.

So Your Girl Needs A New Shirt?

Luke Plunkett — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 23:30:00 MST

Say there's a special someone in your life. That special someone is partial to the ol' video gaming. Thing is, her wardrobe...it's kinda ratty. One part of you finds that endearing - in a cute, bohemian kinda way - the other half just thinks it's kinda ratty. That other half may want to buy her a new shirt. One that both gets her a new shirt and manages to cram a shitload of gaming controllers (including the Boomerang!) into its design. If so, you really can't go past this one, from FIFTY24SF. You can get it at the link below (search for FIFTY24SF in women's shirts).

Of course, if you are a girl, please disregard above advice and head straight for the checkout. If you're an incredibly petit man...hey, it's worth a shot.

Adidas Brings Halo 3 To Its Feet

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 15:40:00 MST

2008 is looking to be replete with video game shoes, with Nike issuing Skate or Die and 720-inspired shoes under its Nike SB line and Adidas pumping out a Halo branded pair of kicks. The Adidas Gil II Zero Halo Sneaker is one of many Gilbert Arenas-approved designs—remember the NBA Live 08 shoe?—featuring all-over Halo 3 branding, Bungie logos and a recognizable weapon pattern.

If you want to get your dogs on these sneakers, you better call in some hook-ups, as they're limited to 100 pairs worldwide. Complex, who has detailed pics of the pair, is giving away the whole line at some point, for anyone feeling lucky. Me? I'm sticking to the Nike SB 720s (and maybe the Skate or Dies), depending on how long I feel like camping out at Undefeated.

GameSetApparel Adds New Fine Wearables To Fantasy Line

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 15:30:00 MST

Former Kotaku guest editor and chronic workaholic Simon Carless let us know today that the GameSetApparel project has officially expanded, fulfilling the promise of four limited-edition t-shirts made in December. Rounding out the "Games That Never Were" series—and joining the already released Polybius tee are three fresh shirts. Hostage Negotiator II by Alien Hominid artist Dan Paladin, Grabungadung by Schadenfreude Interactive and Glorkian Warrior by comic artist James Kochalka comprise the remainder of fantasy games from creative minds.

Each are differing levels of snazzy and should go a long way to making your torso and shoulder area less naked. Details on each of the limited t-shirts are available at the official site, as are handy ordering instructions.

The Space Invaders Fashion Show Continues, This Time With Hats

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 16:20:00 MST

Premiere cap manufacturer New Era is getting into the video game thing in a major way it would seem, as the follow up line to their Pac-Man series of fitted hats is an even wider Space Invaders collection. Seven caps, each with embroidered classic Space Invaders graphics, make up the line and each run about 6000 yen (somewhere near $55 US). They're currently available at Japanese retailer Cap Collector and will match well with your expensive Space Invaders Porter luggage in the same vein. Somehow I don't think Taito is done commercially exploiting the game's thirtieth anniversary quite yet.

Namco Meets New Era For Pac-Man Caps

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 16:20:00 MST

Some of the more casual fashion friendly types at Kotaku Tower aren't just into t-shirts and sneakers—some of us like fitted caps, too. So when Namco teams up with cap experts New Era for a line of Pac-Man fitteds, we expect great things. Oh wait, it's Namco. Expect run of the mill things. The Namco X New Era line looks to have dropped in Japan recently, a limited edition trio of wool baseball caps that feature Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky and Pinky. Each will set fans back 6090 yen (about $55 USD). More hats, more pics, at Fuctard's online store.

Arkanoid Tee Specifically For Streetwear, Russian Bear Fans

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 19:40:00 MST

While I'm a casual fan of block-busting arcade games like Breakout and Arkanoid, I'm a much bigger fan of clothing label Mishka, maker of fine t-shirts. Fellow Kotaku Tower inhabitant Luke Plunkett has more than once suggested that I attempt to seek a sponsored endorsement deal from the company in an attempt to offset the outflow of cash that goes in the Brooklyn-based company's direction. So far, no dice. While the brand generally focuses on things like metal, horror movies and He-Man, it's first video game related tee goes for an Arkanoid vibe. Yes, that Vaus at the bottom, tackling the label's Bear Mop logo... which has exploded in a very un-Arkanoid fashion. For those carrying on to the Mishka web site, keep in mind that it can be NSFW at times, so browser beware.

GameSetWatch Spins Off Apparel Line

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:40:00 MST

My philosophy on life is this: you can never be too thin, too rich or have too many t-shirts. Fortunately for those with bare torsos and a taste for gaming, Simon Carless from GameSetWatch has announced the availability of the site's newest venture, a line of limited t-shirts known as GameSetApparel. The first of four, available now, highlights one of gaming's more infamous urban legends, Polybius. Legend has it, Polybius was an arcade game so frightening that merely playing could lead to insanity, resulting in the game being pulled from public display.

Only 111 of the Polybius shirts are available, but Simon and GSA plan to release another three designs this January, all part of the Games That Never Were line and all featuring the artwork of well known artists. Should you be willing to take a chance, all four are up for pre-order now.

Good news, but as a SMALL t-shirt wearer, I'm more excited about the rumors I've been hearing of the GameSetWatch monster truck.

Nintendo By Torrel Now Available

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:20:31 MST

The Nintendo-licensed apparel by clothing brand Torrel that we told you about last month has formally launched, with an online store selling the Nintendo By Torrel line now live. The first line, which focuses on graphics lifted from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World, ranges from t-shirts at $50 to hoodies to jackets which top out at $200. Those who prefer to swim in their clothing will be quite comfortable, as the product runs up to XXXXL. Spindly wimps like myself who rock smalls in everything will be left cold, naked and wanting.

Anyone who has ever dreamed of owning a Donkey Kong 3 or Mach Rider t-shirt can stop asking why God has forsaken them. They're both at the Torrel online store right now.

Pac-Man T Ready For Your Mass Consumption

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:40:01 MDT

Jessica Fink's fabulous "Ghost Rider" design was snubbed by the pun-hungry voting masses at Threadless, but that didn't stop her from printing up her own batch of the Pac-Man inspired tee for those of you who loved it to death when we posted about it a year ago. It's up for sale at her Etsy shop, with printing numbers well into the "lots." Don't sleep on it, though, as the trademark stewards may be fashioning an e-mail within the day.

Nintendo Wisely Targets Urban Clothing Market

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 17:20:00 MDT

Torrel LLC has taken the best of Nintendo, run it through the "urban market" filter with plans to provide thousands of clothes-conscious gamers with over-sized and wildly tacky Nintendo authorized gear. The line, simply titled Nintendo by Torrel, has officially and garishly launched as of this week and will be available at the Nintendo World Store in New York City, starting November 15. Limited to 1000 pieces each and ranging from hoodies to t-shirts to puffy jackets, it features classic Super Mario Bros. and NES era graphics with an urban... uh, twist.

Shots of the first line taken at the MAGIC trade show in Vegas are available at the official site, as are details on the Nintendo World Store launch party. Go ahead. Look. It will either A. be right up your alley or B. make you pine for a label like The King of Games that knows the definition of "understated."

Mario Villains Scarf

Maggie Greene — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 15:30:39 MDT

I love scarves. One of the great tragedies of moving to one of the most temperate parts of the West coast was, for me, the fact that serious winter clothes are practically never needed and I can't get my several months of scarf wearing in over the winter. But for those of you who live in chillier climates, have a talent for knitting, and think that Mario characters make excellent accessories, a long ago post on Craftster (charts included!) can serve as your guide to creating your very own. Eons ago, we posted what Ashcraft described as 'The Greatest Mario Scarf EVER', but I think this one is pretty damn cute (and just my color). [via Wonderland]

'Skinning Politics'

Maggie Greene — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 11:30:48 MDT

Ian Bogost has an interesting little post up on his Water Cooler Games about 'skinning games' - wrapping a pretty standard game mechanic in a fresh new wrapping, in this case wrapping standard-issue combat games in the covering of a serious political topic, an oil crisis 20 years in the future. Frontlines: Fuel of War is a regular game in the guise of a 'serious game;' certainly not the first, but it's interesting to see exactly where they put the emphasis:

The major features of Frontlines, according to the website, are: Frontline System - a "focused combat" system that "inherently promotes teamwork"; an Open World Environment (you already know what that means); Next-Gen Firepower (w00t!); Customizable Soldiers ("character choices, weapon load-out, and role specialization"); and Advanced Team Play (everyone needs multiplayer). Anything here deal with peak oil? Not so much. I do find myself wondering, though, where all the fuel for so many motorized war vehicles comes from? Maybe the game will clarify that with an in-world fiction. Then again, maybe it won't.

I suppose fully integrating the concept of an oil crisis wouldn't make the game so fun ('Sorry, soldier, you're over your fuel limit for the week and will have to stay back at base playing tiddlywinks'), on the other hand - why bother with the premise at all? The mainstream may turn their noses up at the idea of 'serious games,' but there has to be some incentive for companies to at least try and pretend they're covering some serious topics in a meaningful (uh, in name at least) manner.

Space Invaders Hoodies Invade Closets, Hearts

Mark Wilson — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 12:20:43 MDT

The Cool Hunter is selling some swank Space Invaders hoodies in promotion of their new online store. But as of this morning, there are only 100 left for sale. Patterned in either subtle, hypnotic repetition, or slap-you-in-the-face, giant "I'M A GEEK"-style over solid black, these sweatshirts transcend their cotton lineage to become royalty of the geek fashion world.

But for $150, I will probably stay dressed like that emperor guy who streaked everywhere, too cheap/stupid/unhip to buy clothing I actually want to wear.

PaRappa, the T-Shirt

I just landed a copy of PaRappa, the Rapper for the PSP. I've only had a few minutes to mess around with it, but so far it's everything I had hoped it would be. The game also came with this very cool PaRappa, the Rapper T-shirt co-designed by Paul Frank. I actually have a Paul Frank pirate belt buckle, which I believe officially makes me an 8-year-old.

Asteroid Shoes In The House

Remember the Pro-Keds Arcade Series shoes I posted back in late April? I wasn't kidding when I said I was desperately trying to find a pair for sale. Seemed like the Pac-Man shoe was the only one widely available, until a reader sent me a link to Designer Athletic, who had the Asteroids model in size 8, 8.5, 10, and 13. Now they are out of 13's *grins*.

Behold, the first of many gaming shoe conquests. Fueled by Vault and guarded by Crappy Movie Preview Starscream, the Asteroid shoes are now mine.

Yes, I drink a lot of Vault, and yes, I am wearing black socks. They make me feel sexy. Michael Fahey

Even Nintendo Thinks Wii's a GAMECUBE

Some say the Wii is nothing more than a GAMECUBE with a motion sensing controller. But, what does Nintendo of America think? Reader Ham writes:

i received my replacement wii in the mail today (quite speedy since i sent in the request last friday), and when i opened it up, lo and behold, the label heralded the arrival of my gamecube replacement. all that griping about the wii really being just two gamecubes stuck together must have gotten to someone up at NOA. i had a good laugh.

The Not Quite Pac-Man Hoodie

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 02 Apr 2007 17:40:04 MDT

Underground label Mikasi has turned their "Thought Man" character into a Pac-Man-esque design for one of their latest hoodies. Instead of dots, it's money bags. Instead of ghosts, we get "money hungry b!@tches" to quote the garment.

Streetwear cliche to the max? Totally. A burning eyesore? Definitely. This kind of garish gear isn't really my speed, but maybe some of our more daring readers will find the right location to rock it.

And if $110 is too rich for your blood, a slightly more subtle short-sleeved tee version is also available with the back graphic switched to the front.

No? Hey, there are always Panic's Katamari shirts. Michael McWhertor

Verte Life's Awesome Galaga Tee

Michael McWhertor — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 18:40:24 MDT

I try to stay on top of the t-shirt scene, but this Galaga homage from Verte Life (who?) slipped past my radar. Fortunately, Kotaku reader Joe tipped us off to Verte's lookbook. Unfortunately, that lookbook is from last year, which means you might have a hard time finding this sweet all over, old school print for sale at this point.

Maybe the Namco cease and desist will make it impossible. Anyone seen this for sale out there on the internets? Michael McWhertor
