Back with the latest poster from 8bitfetish. I was going to go with The Legend of Zelda but changed my mind and decided to finish off the Turtle wall with the Original NES game. Now I know there is the Manhattan project but I never got into that one since the SNES had hit the scene at that point. I still think the cover art is great but I just don't connect with it.

Oh my god... Not only was 8bitfetish nice enough to send me the usual awesome poster but also included a new Super Mario 3 T-Shirt! I can't thank them enough for this partnership where I get to review their great posters. Now I am getting a kick ass T-shirts? This blogger is flying high with a P-wing.

Mario 3 is well.. My favorite NES game ever and.... THE BEST MARIO EVER. One day I will have to do my top 10 Mario games as this would easily be number 1 for me. The cover art its self while might not be as pretty as SMB 2 it is way more iconic. Mario showing off its best power up ever in the raccoon tail. 8bitfetish's print is beautiful and the yellow just pops off the paper. If you would like your own you can find it here. Any Hardcore Nintendo fan needs this poster in their house. At $11.99 and free shipping saying no is just a crime.
The shirt is pretty damn awesome. Already a few people know its the SMB 3 and have gave me props. You can find the shirt here.

I remember the Christmas I got SMB 3 from Santa. I was pretty pumped since the game was hard to find do to it being so popular and if you were playing this game it meant you were pretty damn cool. As I played it through the Christmas break I would discover the flutes and what not. That is where the bragging would begin at school.
The game its self is I think is the most challenging of the Mario games. Its such a peer joy playing worlds 1-7 but once you get to world 8 you better hold onto your pants because this game has no mercy. You think its all fine too since you have built up so many lives... Its not fine... You will use them all more then likely. Hope you saved those P-wings. About a year ago I played it all night with a cousin of mine since he stated it was the only Mario he never beat. Around 4am in the morning we were battling for out lives. The tank and boat levels don't care about your feelings. Finally got to the castle and Bowser was kicking our ass(the hardest bowser battle easy). On guy zero I beat him.

There was a Mario 3 cartoon and I even loved that. Might have been one of the few kids to tune in every Saturday morning.
I really can't wait to play this game with my son. IMO might be the best video game ever or at least tied with Zelda OOT. I again want to thank 8bitfetish for the amazing shirt and poster and I would like to congragulate them on earning their 100th feedback on ebay with 100% satisfied customers! Christmas comes once a month in this household thanks to 8itfetish. Make sure you check out all their great posters and now... T-shirts!


8bitfetish, smb, nintendo, nes,

I want publicly apologize to 8bitFetish for not getting this up sooner. With me coaching varsity basketball and the kids I just got behind. Now with basketball over with I have way more free time to make it the store to get frames for these bad boys.
On to the poster! Next up is the black sheep of the SMB family. Super Mario Bros 2. The cover art is easier on the eyes then SMB3 with the blues and yellow letters. Of course 8bitfetish again has outdone themselves with high quality. The blue and yellow pop very nicely. I always thought the "Mario Madness" was sorta odd to put on the cover but pretty much anything and everything to do with SMB2 is pretty odd.
I remember the hype was pretty insane for this game(nothing like 3 though). Kids at school were all bragging they had the game before it even hit the stores. What we got was....well odd.. But not bad.. Just.. Not what we were expecting. Come to find out is pretty much a rip from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Pani.. So there is that. I spent the whole game not playing as Mario as I always used Princess since she floated. I beat the game twice in my life and never have played it much since. I do enjoy the ending of the game that explains the oddness of it. WARNING 27 YEAR OLD SPOILER A HEAD!!  ITS JUST A DREAM!
I like to thank 8bitfetish again for sending me another great poster that I could share with everyone. You can find this poster here for $11.99 and very fast FREE S&H!

IT CAME! IT CAME! I just received one of my favorite box arts of all time from 8bitfetish... OF ALL TIME! Not to mention one of my favorite games of all time. This game is still the the best TMNT game to date. Its a blast from start to finish and you get all the great characters from the cartoon and the movies. What more could a kid want?

But I am not posting this to talk about the game play but the serious greatness of this art and what a job 8bitfetish did with it. There are a lot of colors at play here and they all look beautiful with the dark purples.
Before 8bitfetish I struggled to find a Turtles in the time poster that had the Super Nintendo box border which is a must for me. Its also proportional too. I've seen terrible SNES posters where the border is all out of whack. Everything is perfect here.

Konami did not miss on one TMNT game cover. Anytime they made a game whether it was SNES, Gameboy or Sega it was a masterpiece. These turtles here are filled with detail(muscles) and don't look like your happy Saturday morning type of turtles. Some might say there is to much going on here but it all works together. All the time travel elements have their place here.

If you have interest and this great TNMT in Turtles in Time Poster 8bitfetish has it here for you!

My Knight Rider NES poster came from 8bitfetish! It came! It came! It really is in my opinion one the best Knight Rider images there is and it came from the NES cover art. 8bitfetish really out did there selves here. The deep reds look great! The yellow pops! It tops off my Knight Rider stuff just the way I wanted it to. If you are interested in picking up this bad boy for $11.99(free S&H) than you can find it here!
I remember when I was a kid I was so excited when I saw the Knight Rider game at the store. I begged my mom for it but she wouldn't have it. So I know I was waiting for Christmas or birthday which was a long way off. I was lucky enough that my uncle rented and we played it one night and I was so pumped. I couldn't believe I was about to play my favorite TV in a video game.... Well that where the excitement started and ended as it was just terrible from the start. It was great seeing Kitt in 8 bit form but outside of that the game is impossible. I haven't played it in some time so I can't recall a whole lot but I remember enjoying the turbo boosting but Kitt has rockets I think? Every car was an enemy running you off the road. It just wasn't fun.
Even though the game sucked I always got that warm fuzzy Knight Rider feeling when ever I saw the cover art. It just kicks ass and now looks great on my wall. I already have gotten complements on it during our Christmas party. Now I did get a few question on Twitter about the posters and got some answers.

Q: Why 13 x 19 sized poster?
A: 13x19 is a pretty good natural fit for the most part. It's also bigger than 17x11. And it's not too big or too small. Can fit a good amount on your walls. You really can't do that with 32x24. 


The next poster comes in Jan and its features four heroes in a half shell who made my top 10 SNES covers. Like Bart Scott once said, "CAN'T WAIT!"

8bitfetish, knight rider, 8bits, nes, video games,

A few months ago I decided I needed to track down some NES cover art for my "me room"(Still no pictures..I know) and looked at some auctions on Ebay. I thought some had some pretty crappy looking quality. I found 8bitfetish which had a huge selection. The quality looked way better than the other options. They even have some classic video game scenes! I can't wait to see what more scenes they decide to push out. I decided to take the plunge and ordered the original Super Mario Bros and TMNT II The Arcade Game.

Got my order in a few days. The posters were a 13 x 19 and were full of 8 bits of awesomeness. Great colors,great quality poster and didn't break the bank($11.99+Free shipping). I am huge sucker for Nintendo box art from the NES and SNES days and I couldn't wait to get more.
The other day I was thinking I needed a NES Knight Rider poster to complement my Knight Rider display and I thought why not ask 8bitfetish to be my Friend?!?!? I mean I love Nintendo box art,their stuff is outstanding and its fast and cheap(oh yeah!). I contacted Steve the owner of 8bitfetish with the idea of getting one poster a month sent to me to review on SD80sK. So did he say yes?........ YES! I am excited to announce that SD80sK is partnering up with 8bitfetish! Reviewing Nintendo box posters sounds like a dream come true and the Knight Rider poster should be here any day! So please welcome them to the blog and go check out their amazing posters and their website(still under construction) and Ebay Store!
