From Kotaku:

Cave Story seems to be getting bigger and bigger the closer it gets to a WiiWare release. Take, for example, these new t-shirts, due to go on sale later this year on Attractmode's online store.

The four shirts are pretty hit and miss, but man, that Balrog shirt is a hit. Apparently these are still waiting on final approval from Cave Story creator Pixel, but it'd be a coldhearted man to turn down a shirt giving us a look inside one of the greatest square robots of all time.

So, what do you guys think?

Oo oh...

There's a possibility that he could turn those down....
At Zazzle.com, someone took this fan art of Cave Story {I don't remember which one it was, but it had almost all of the characters on it, all grouped around/on Balrog}, put it on a T-Shirt, and had text under it saying:
Cave Story

Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't make it any less awesome.

It even had the Miraigamer.net/cavestory link on the back.
I, of course, bought it right away :D {It's hanging right next to me, as of now}
But as I just now checked back at Zazzle to show you guys, it seems all of the Cave Story-related items have been removed... {'Cept the buttons, for some reason...}
Although, those probably got removed because they were made by random people who didn't ask permission from Pixel, but there's still the possibility the same could happen here =/
But since these ones are asking for permission first, they might stay :D

Although, the Balrog one kinda scared me O.o;
I'll never look at that Toaster/Oven/Suitcase the same again...

The balrog one is really cool but I don't like it how everyone thinks that he's a robot....

I think much better T-shirts could be made. Like the "You haven't heard of it but it's awesome" (paraphrase) shirt was cool, but there's just one.l The ones you linked to, d4vz, not as good.
I want a shirt with Curly on it. RULE 34, YOU NOW APPLY TO T-SHIRTS.
(Not saying I want it to be porn)

You mean, you want that pic in your gallery on a T-shirt?

Printer fun

Since the shirt's been removed or something, and I can't find the artwork it used again, I decided to play with the scanner on my printer :p
diph.php

Captions couldn't fit, but it says:
"
Just because you haven't heard of it, doesn't make it any less awesome."

Don't no one rip my head off, but I kind of hate that picture. That T-shirt. Like, why are Curly's hips bigger than MALCO's torso? And the Sky Dragon looks damn ugly. Maybe someone should make a better shirt with the same caption.

*Shrug*

I never said the art was awesome, just the caption :p

If someone does make another shirt, make sure to get permission from Pixel, or it'll just disappear like this one T.T;
{Although, I guess that means I've got a rare collectible now...}

But honestly, Nicalis should make some T-shirts. I'm sure they would sell like hotcakes. Ooh, especially if they smelled like hotcakes!

Sell the smell, you say? Well, it would certainly 1) shut the fans up for at least some time, and 2) give them another way to support the developers. I mean, I would consider buying one (and I usually don't do that, cause of that whole Atlantic issue...)

Frig, I would buy one so hard. Especially if it had Balrog on it.

I just got a letter back from Black and Decker regarding my suggestion to make a BalToaster.

The gist of the reply is no, because they don't know what Balrog is, and are afraid of a lawsuit.

I made a prototype and sent in pictures...
Then some goof tried to use it and the construction paper burst into flames.

Ps. Lowell, DL Hamachi. I wish to set up something beyond epic.
