I’m heading out tonight, to the place where Comic Con San Diego celebrations are taking place, to enjoy a sponsored event by Nintendo ( #NintendoSwitchTogether ). It’s going to be a fun night where I get to relive some childhood memories while showing my kids and others via social what’s new in family gaming from Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). We went to a similar event a couple years ago. It was that night that we found out a modern version of the vintage NES was coming out – a console that we couldn’t get our hands on for under $100 – btw, thanks to flippers. Anyways, here is our happy faces from that night:
Tonight, we make new memories with Nintendo and this time, with my little one in tow.
And what’s a Nintendo night without some theme dressing up that Comic Con is known for? I don’t have my attire in mind yet, but jewelry, yes!
First, I recalled and looked up some popular 8-bit games made by NES. Then, I picked out charms that could represent a game, to create a look. But I had way too many charms and had enough to create a couple looks.
What 8-bit games do you see in the rose gold watch?
What 8-bit games do you see represented in this black watch?
I have 25 vintage charms between these 2 Origami Owl watches… 25 charms inside the two representing Nintendo games with some charms able to represent several games.
I could tell you what games they are but it would be more fun to hear from you. What 8-bit vintage video games by Nintendo do you see?
Sadly I didn’t have a few, such as the current Palm tree charm by Origami Owl, to represent the many games with the tropics or jungle combat in them.
I am not sure if Origami Owl ever made a boxing glove charm or I just don’t have it. Therefore, no boxing game is represented here.
I do know that Origami Owl has never made a space ship (to represent Life Force or any of their space games) or a sword and shield charm to represent many of the early vintage games by Nintendo (such as Link or Zelda). If they do, I’d be all over that one for a million reasons!
Just for fun…. What games do you see? Is your favorite in these 2 watches? What is your favorite 8-bit game of all time?
