The NES Advantage Belt Buckle: so much retro it hurts

via engadget

These days, with everybody out to prove how "old school" they are via t-shirts, game controller buckles, game cart collections and even Mario score comparisons (sorry guys, but CliffyB beats you all, sez Nintendo Power), it can be hard to stick out of the crowd -- until now. From the very kids responsible for the brash commercialism behind the NES Buckle, comes the NES Advantage Belt Buckle, which brings a bit of arcade nostalgia to the front of your pants. Honestly, we never found the controller to be much of an Advantage at all, unless you count those isolated incidents where it was wielded as a weapon against a particularly sucky Contra companion -- not that that ever happened, of course -- but there's no arguing with the look here, and you really never know when you and a couple turbo buttons will be needed to wield control over the Statue of Liberty. The buckle is available now for $50.

Worst part of this "Retro" trend is that half the ***gots who follow it never even heard of a Nintendo until the past few years.

I want one cause I work in a Game store and cause I'm a bit drunk at the moment.

I HATE RETRO FASHION! I talked to a mate I use to go to school with and she said about her new boyfriend, he's really "Retro". I think she got a bit offended when I asked her if he had a mullet .
Also whats with Nintendo-core? It's the nearest you can get to ear rape without involving any body parts... other than your own ears of course.
Now that I've probably offended most the people here in my first post without meaning to, I'll leave :thumbup:
