Retro art exhibit Famicase returning to Japan in May
Japan's finest hipster retro/game culture store Meteor has announced via its blog that its Famicase art exhibit will be returning to the shop from May 2nd through the 31st.
What's Famicase? A curated selection of original 8-bit Nintendo cartridges given new labels by the local finest design houses and illustrators, each imagining games never created.
Why should we care when it's likely that the great majority of us won't be able to make it in to see the show? Because if this year comes even half as close to the highlights of their 2008 show (my three favorites below), we're in for a visual treat, regardless.
Check the updated Famicase site for a list of this year's artists, and for a group page of all 2008 submissions.

I love this exhibition. When are we booking our flights, Brandon?

Scrolling through, for a fleeting second I though "Whale of Noise" was something one could actually play. Hopes. Dashed.

like Elisd, i thought whale of noise was a real game for a moment, and that made me so very excited.

But seriously, can someone point me to a bootleg of the Whale of Noise ROM? It's too good not to exist.
