Planet of the DK's t-shirt design

by Ross Miller { Aug 14th 2006 at 4:25AM }

Digital apes hailing the NES controller -- what more could you want? Entitled "Also sprach Miyamoto" -- a reference to either Nietzsche or "that song from 2001: Space Odyssey," depending on who you ask -- this Threadless T-Shirt submission currently has been scored by over 1,600 people and the comments show an extremely positive reaction, so we will likely (and hopefully) be able to add this piece of gaming chic to our wardrobe in the near future.

Incredibly hot!

As large and rabid as this design's following seems to be, I don't know if that'll be enough to help it clear the hurdle that is the copyright and intellectual property clause in the Threadless ToS.

...hmm... probably the red... ;)

It's definitely a reference to 2001. The NES controller is the monolith, get it?

I wouldn't mind the same style shirt with a Wiimote for the monolith and several Donkey Kongs "getting to know themselves" a la opening scene of Mel Brooks' History of the World Part I...

I would much rather see it as is than with a Wii-mote.

Incredibly Gaytendo.

You know, it's really sad when trolls don't even bother trying anymore.

For the actual pic... presuming they can get the rights to the DK and controller images, that is one sweet-looking shirt. It'd also look nice in red and orange or brown and white.

As a part-time t-shirt designer myself, I can say that this one will bring about some intellectual property issues. However, I've jumped through some hoops before to secure permissions for various designs, so perhaps Nintendo will be willing to sign off on this one due to its ridiculously sweet quality.

Being a Nintendo and Arthur Clarke fan myself, I'd totally wear this.
