Gyakuten Saiban 4 shirt

Promotional t-shirts from Capcom have never been terribly fashionable, but they usually don't resort to slogans or anything either. Usually they'll do a black shirt with the game logo on the front and maybe some character art on the back. They technically would count as ugly t-shirts but they got a pass from me because I usually liked the character art and they were so damned free! I got a lot of these when I worked at Gamestop. Dino Crisis, Resident Evil 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Power Stone...


Anyway, having just said that Capcom promo shirts are marginally interesting, I'm featuring one here, for the not-yet-released Gyakuten Saiban 4 for the DS. I'm not entirely sure how much I like the design. The monochrome color scheme is pretty nice, and the logo on the back does look pretty cool, but something about it still screams 'I will argue with you about the relative fighting ability of Naruto characters.' This shirt is less "awesome freelance game writer you meet at a chiptune concert" and just on the side of "guy who has been standing next to the hentai at Sam Goody for 30 minutes and hasn't gotten up the courage to pick up a box off the shelf."


Oh, also it's only available in Japan. About $26, plus shipping if they'll ship here (no idea).

You know what? After looking at this again, I take back everything I said. I think I was knee-jerking because of the usual visual appeal of my Capcom shirts. This one is really cool-looking. I would totally wear it. It doesn't hurt that I love Phoenix Wright/Gyakuten Saiban more than anything else on the DS.
