(Or, “Virtual Boy playing uniform”) I have been waiting forever for someone to make a proper tribute to Yokoi in shirt form! I’m so happy someone finally did although there is only 10 shirts available. And no, I didn’t get one yet. 😛

You know, to be honest, I thought of the same thing! Except in the reverse way (the red shirt would be good if the print were black).

Your idea is much more Virtual Boy-like.

Thanks GYF:)

To be honest GYF I think it would look better pixelated also.

I told him (on Twitter) how you were wondering (and so am I) about if he would make a shirt like that. I hope he does it.

EDIT: He answered and said “maybe I would look into it but that’s a long way off. Too busy with retro game crunch and other projects right now.”

It’s a good thing I own a printing company, then, I guess.

Sure. Somebody get me some art, at 300DPI and the correct size for printing and I will do it.
