Holy crap it finally happened! A Kotaku reader by the name of Stephan created something many of us dreamed of having back in the 80’s: Captain N’s varsity jacket. Which was a huge oxymoron since back in the 80’s no one who wore a varsity jacket got anywere near a NES, let alone get sucked into it.

But I digress, Stephan claims this is a faithful replica to the one used in the cartoon, which I dont imagine being that hard to get, but still awesome. He’s already got the Zapper, now he’s just a working, time stopping controller belt away from being my hero. Rock on Stephan!

80’s marketing, weather we love it or hate it, will forever be engraved in the minds of those of us who suffered them. We now bring you this magnificent Nintendo ad from that magical time, where stereotypical geeks used to rap about Zelda and say things like ‘Intense!’.

Have we really made much progress? A part of me wants to say yes, the other part wants to rap about Zelda and make disc scratching noises… wiki~wiki~wee!
