Your wardrobe could use a bit more gamer chic. One of Japan's more popular clothing brands is introducing a new line of t-shirts in collaboration with a number of gaming companies. The store is offering tees based on Sonic the Hedgehog, Mega-Man, PaRappa the Rapper, LittleBigPlanet, Resident Evil and more. The shirts retail for 1500 yen (about $15) each.
The designs are simple, often featuring very subtle references to these gaming franchises . This way, you can make a nerdy statement without actually having to look like one.

That second tee is a reference to Puyo Pop, or in the west otherwise known as Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

I don't think having FFVII as your first game played counts as being a "long time gamer."

Wha, the Gyakuten Saiban shirts say "Objection!"
I guess it's subtler in Japan. It'd be like wearing a shirt that says 異議あり! in America.

i'm not putting down people who'd wear these, but who'd wear these? i could see maybe 1 if you really really like the design. but they aren't very good to be honest, and these days i think the gamer/hot topic silly sayings shirts fad is starting to die.

There's a description for most of them on Uniqlo's site (in English, even!).
#6 is from Densha de Go!, a train simulator series from Hudson.

Err, Taito. For some reason, I thought it was Hudson...

Ones I like:
-Megaman
-Arkanoid
-Galaxian
I would've liked the Ace Attorney one, too, if it looked like the standard "OBJECTION!" image, instead of that pseudo-3D look.

They are really losing their touch, none of these come close to being as perfectly cute as last year's Astro Boy tee.
