The King of Games UPDATE: Japan-only shirts now available in US / Nintendo Museum video / New shirts?
Phist | 9:55 AM on 09.19.2007 8 comments




Way back in the ye olde days of the Clogs, I posted about The King of Games. KOG reaches the inner video game hipster inside all of us (nevermind, I take that back). I've always loved their product despite the astronomical prices (mainly due to the costs of importing, not forgetting to mention their high standards of quality). The Electronic Pocket (Game & Watch), Mother and Famicom shirts are my top picks. AngelsDontBurn would be all about the Balloon Fight.


So here's the latest:

"...we've put up a secret page for another line of EDITMODE "game lifestyle" shirts. Quite a few of you have been asking about these shirts after spotting them on the Japanese KOG site, and we're pleased to make them available for y'all outside of Japan."


They look so purdy:




It comes to around $40 per shirt plus $13 for shipping to North America. OUCH! Not suitable for the average gamer's budget, but they do look pretty tight. Click here to jump to the new shirts in the online shop.


If you haven't seen already, Gamevideos has a Nintendo Museum feature with the KOG crew. Spanning almost 15 minutes, very cool:




And, another quick mention of future products:

"Despite the lack of activity on the KOG site, we've been busy taking care of a couple upcoming designs that we're very excited about. They're not quite ready yet, but hopefully we'll have some good news soon. If you haven't seen it already, take a look at the "IT'S COMING" teaser on the KOG site. Those of you "in the know" will figure it out quickly..."


Okay, there's an animated pic under "It's Coming". It pans from a blue sky down to a wooden bench on some grass with a gift box sitting on it. I have no fucking clue. Bastards. Whatever these crazy Japanese trendsetters are trying to tell us, I guarantee the hotness.

I'll post about the new shirts when they drop...

Japanese shirt sizes run smaller than US shirt sizes. Be aware that an XL in Japan is like a L in the US.
