GameStop lets you be the N64 Xmas kid

by Richard Mitchell on Dec 4th 2009 6:00PM

While the above headline is true, you'll probably have to squint your eyes a bit to see it. You see, someone at GameStop had the particularly brilliant idea of making an application that can plaster your face directly over the famous (infamous?) Nintendo 64 kid. What kid, you ask? You know the one. Yeah, that one. Or, if you're like us, you can always use a picture of a cat. Apart from the video being holiday themed, we're not sure how the application will help GameStop sell games. But, then again, we don't really care. We just put a cat face on N64 Kid's face. What more could you want?

That picture would have been SUCH a good excuse to plaster Dead Space Girl's face on another header image. A missed opportunity, in my opinion.

The possibilities were endless.

Agreed. Very missed opportunity. It's saddening :(

I don't know, I like the cat.

He keeps it cool...

There you go! Could have done better with more time though..

I say we wait until DSG's anniversary, July 1st. That way, it'll be more special.

Wow Really Long Witty Name, that was scary.

Dude, I'm sorry, but that cat-faced kid scared the hell out of me at first.

Overused, but I still find it more frightening (yet hilarious):

NINTENDO SIXTY FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone else horrified by that half-child half-cat abomination?

not really. it's worth it just to see him/it pawing at the box.

This is the first time i've seen the N64 kid, when i saw the picture i thought it was face paint, it didnt enter my mind that who would wake up christmas morning and paint a cat on their childs face. So naive.

holy shit that picture just made me renounce my ways.

You're welcome.

I love you

I love me too.

Haha, I just realized what your submission was. At first I thought it was a regular person, since the cheeks and 'stache weren't as contrast-y as I was expecting.

You win this round Peter... you win this round.
