It's a rather special day here at Nintendo Life towers, as the first ever piece of NL merchandise has just been plonked on sale by our good friends at EGX.
That's right, we're joining the big boys and girls at sites like Eurogamer with our very own design, mixing our luscious logo with the famous SNES controller for an EGX 2019 special. As you can probably guess from the letters on the shirt, it'll be available at this year's show and you can even pre-order one online to collect on the day.
You can grab your very own right here (sizes range from S to XXXL).
EGX is a celebration of all things gaming and the largest annual gaming expo in the UK. It's taking place from 17th - 20th October at ExCeL, London, and you can get tickets here if you're wanting to attend.
What do you think? Will you be strutting your stuff in one of these lovely shirts in the near future? We've made the big time now, right?

I'll be sure to pick one up when I visit on Friday. Does this mean you'll be in attendance then NL? Would be cool to say hi.
I probably won't be able to get this, but it looks great
Yesssss!! It’s about time! Can you tell us what brand the shirts are printed on? I have a weird body so some shirts are a tad weird on me.
So... First time I’m ever preordering a shirt. Are there preorder bonuses? 🤪
EDIT: ah crap... I see how this works ... “All items to be collected at the Official EGX merch stand.”
Well there goes that! Congrats anyway, ya’ll. You deserve to be on a t-shirt.
What?! No analogue stick? Next you'll be telling me there's no HD tumbling option for my dryer.
Need one that says “Hello there lovely people”
I've always wanted one of those shirts that Alex wears in the videos. Hope those will follow some day!
I've never truly understood why brands related to gaming and geekdom in general tend to not carry shirts in larger sizes.
@Ooccoo_Jr We're not doing anything fancy, but the odd staff member or two will be there 🙂
I need seven! One for every day of the week!
Should have put this in the middle of the shirt.
Very cool. But not for busty lady gamers.
Do you ship to the US?
So you don't deliver, you have to pick it up? Ah well, there goes that
@Tasuki they dont ship anywhere
@PharoneTheGnome
I should imagine that XXXL is pretty big, no?
Sweet I'm going and will defo swing by!
@PharoneTheGnome
XXXL not enough?
That's a neat design
Now that’s a good lookin’ torso cloth! Congrats NL!
You think I’d buy your T-shirt?
Bwhahahahhahaha
...I have no money.
Cool design. I'd imagine someone out there will buy one, or a few, then put them online for sale. Congrats, NL!
@Ooyah No. You should imagine again. 3X is big, but it's not obese big. As funny as you may find it that some people are over 300 pounds and live perfectly normal lives, it's a fact of today's society. There are more obese people today than non-obese.
@LJChronx I love how everybody today is all for not triggering anybody about their sex, race, or economical status, but when it comes to their weight, they are perfectly ok with being abusively toxic as possible. Way to go toxic piece of dung.
@PharoneTheGnome
I don't find it funny at all. And I certainly meant no offense. I simply thought that you may have missed the XXXL. Not everyone is out to troll you. ☹️
Cool, now make a bunch of shirts with Sanya on them. She needs to be this site's mascot. lol
Do you guys ever think of doing the podcast again?
Can we get them shipped to the US?
@PharoneTheGnome Primark is the worse, they have lots of cool t shirts but they stop at double X and even then it's a really tight double X
I just buy their plain ones which stop at triple x and are a much baggier fit
@Tasuki +1
Maybe if it was not SNES related. I never had a SNES back in the 1990s, so it holds no nostalgia factor for me. My first Nintendo home console was the original NES (which I first had back in the 1980s), then the N64, Wii and now the Switch. Seems like I have skipped every second generation of Nintendo consoles for some reason (😮😄). I do already own a number of NES related shirts though and even my backpack looks like a giant NES controller. 👍
@PharoneTheGnome
Whoa... simmer down. Didn't mean to offend you. Nobody is going to make any mass marketed tshirt in a size bigger than XXXL, they just wouldn't sell enough to make a profit. I think bigger than that would mostly be custom clothes.
@PharoneTheGnome "it's a fact of today's society. There are more obese people today than non-obese."
That's not something to be happy about, and I say that as someone who's been in the obese category 90% of their life.
And there's plenty of triggering over those other 3 topics in every corner of the net.
just me or is logo squinty
@EVIL-C I am not in the 4X category anymore either. KETO works!
It still bothers me though that people think it's ok to make fun of people based on their weight.
Cool you can use Nintendo in your merchandise.
It is kind of simple, but I like it.
@Ooyah it depends where you live, I think. Here in Germany XXXL is quite huge, but as far as I know it's way smaller in the US. Never been there (though I'm planning to). But I worked in fashion and heard about it.
Edit: I do not want to offend anyone. Just trying to say, there are other fits in different markets.
A nice weekend to all of you!
@k8sMum I was thinking something similar. Probably a problem for most tees for women, but the design really does circle both sides of the chest.
@Tasuki have to pick it up at the con so no
While the SNES Controller design is nice, I'd much rather buy a shirt like Alex wears, the NL logo in either the current red, or the older blue.
@Wavey84 Sorry, I originally replied to you whilst falling asleep. Let me elucidate.
It's nothing to do with the size issue, everything to do with the design placement. Try running into a compulsive button pusher whilst wearing that.
Also "get less busty"? Boobs don't work like that. If one is busty, they're busty. Not much one can do about genetics.
@PharoneTheGnome
There are more 300lb people than non-300lb people? Fantasy world...ok.
@PharoneTheGnome I also have a stutter, massive social anxiety, and other issues, but people will always be assholes. I try not to dwell on it.
