NES Classic Edition Box variation

Here’s something I noticed this week; the final release box of the NES Classic mini is slightly different from the original release.  First, the golden “Official Nintendo Seal” has been moved from the bottom right corner to the left just above the red Nintendo logo.  Second the bottom right corner now has the ESRB rating label.  I’m not a hacker so I’m not sure if this final release NES mini console is different from the first batch.

WWE Replica Toy Belt

When I was a kid, there was nothing better than going to a live WWF wrestling show.  Being able to see the wrestlers up close and buy their fan gear would have been amazing.  Unfortunately I never got to experience those things because my parents never took me.  Not that I ever asked them to, and none of my friends ever went either (that I can recall); but I was just more into baseball at the time, especially with how good the Blue Jays were (1992, 1993).
If I ever went to a show, the item that I would have wanted the most would have been a WWF championship belt.  Flash forward many years, and I’m watching wrestling again and I go to Toys R Us and they had in stock a World Heavyweight Championship belt.  So I bought it (because I’m an adult, lol).  The version I bought is called; WWE Winged Eagle Championship belt.  I like this version because it’s the version I remember the most from my childhood as being popular (something about the blue paint in the middle is nice).  It’s basically made up of gold metallic plastic, some Velcro on the back (which will never fit me) and faux vinyl leather, it’s cheaply made, but I love it.  It represents the boyhood dream that I’m finally able to buy as a grown ass man.

Nintendo Switch Arcade

Here’s an idea that totally blew my mind; a mini arcade cabinet for the Nintendo Switch.  This custom made cabinet (which is now sold out) was made by ShigeryuShop on etsy.com.  I love this idea because I grew up going to the arcade as a kid, and seeing this NEO GEO really brings back memories.  I can’t even imagine how many custom themed arcade cabinets I would love to see.  For example; you have to have an original Donkey Kong (the one that started it all), Super Mario Bros., Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Marvel vs Capcom, etc.  And I’m sure Nintendo could also release a special arcade controller to add an even greater arcade feel.
