Roll Up, Get Your Cave Story T-Shirts
Cave Story seems to be getting bigger and bigger the closer it gets to a WiiWare release. Take, for example, these new t-shirts, due to go on sale later this year on Attractmode’s online store.
The four shirts are pretty hit and miss, but man, that Balrog shirt is a hit. Apparently these are still waiting on final approval from Cave Story creator Pixel, but it’d be a coldhearted man to turn down a shirt giving us a look inside one of the greatest square robots of all time.

@elliott: you have pretty great taste in band names!
I'm loving that Balrog shirt, a Curly Brace one would be great too.
Love the tees... I'd buy any of them, specially Balrog's... though a Misery or Curly would be nice too.
But for some reason, I think it'd be better if it was simply Balrog with no xray cut (even though the puppies are a cute add)

@sentroshi: Hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it, those shirts DO remind me of the opening to MMX.
@0xC001D00D: Wish they had some of other indie games like Spelunky, Aquaria, Bonesaw, Touhou, Clean Asia, other stuff by Cactus, etc, etc, etc.
You can find info on those games by searching in tigsource.com.

Does this remind anyone of Megaman X?
Cave Story is a most-to-play at any game library, it's a awesome game, i recommend. About the t-shirts they are great, wish i could buy some of then.

As much as I absolutely LOVE Cave Story, not a fan. =\ Needs more Curly Brace!

@dangerman_: That's the great thing about low-res 2d games; the vague interpretations of characters. The only 3d game I can think of that does that is Final Fantasy 7, but those Popeye-looking models look more horrible than charming.
@tim rogers:
hahaha thats a great band name, and awesome cover art my friend
@Shredator: 4th Strike: Balrogs (SF) original name was M.Bison which was a play on a popular boxer hmm... Mike Bison didn't want to run into legal problems in the US
Best. Toaster T-shirt. Ever!
The other shirts just seem weird to me; I always associate Cave Story characters with their blocky sprites :D
I want one. Loved cave story and will get it again once it hits VC.

The puppy seals the deal. Balrog is the greatest pixelated robot ever.

I love Cave Story. I'll defiantly pick one of these up!

Is this official art? Cause I always wondered what Balrog is. So if he's a machine, then wtf is Pooh Black a ghost of?
@Jennacide: Yes, Bison was the only one they had to change. They didn't want to get their ear bitten off.
Shredator: 4th Strike
btw the guy who designed these shirts also designed the cover for my band's demo tape

yeah!
Do want. Balrog is the second coolest robot ever, only below Bender.

@arniejolt: It wasn't Balrog's name change that was important, but Bison's. And since Bison's was changed, Vega and Balrog had to rotate with it.
Jennacide
Will Balrog's name be changed to Vega when it comes stateside?

Balrog shirt has caught my eye.
wow, I'd buy 2. Cave Story is awesome.
