Attract Mode, James Harvey, Spacesick tease official Cave Story T-shirts
Quietly revealed in the latest issue of Play Magazine, handily scanned in by James Harvey, and well spotted by Tiny Cartridge: this set of early sketches for official Attract Mode T-shirts based on Pixel's landmark freeware indie hit Cave Story, the game currently, as previously mentioned, being ported to WiiWare by Nicalis.
The designs shown, Play says, are by the aforementioned James 'Harvey James' Harvey (the same as behind the early and still heavily coveted Attract Mode Game Boy Girl design), and apparently by Mitch 'Spacesick' Ansara (frequently featured here on Offworld), though all of the designs above appear more Harvey-ian and less Spacesick-ian to me.
Either way, hopefully we'll see something more official soon, Play reports that the designs are just waiting for Pixel's final sign off. [via Tiny Cartridge]

I daresay I would buy every single one of those t-shirts. (Except maybe the Quote shirt with the blue/orange flame, the scan is too low-res for me to get a good look at.)
The Balrog one in particular is fantastic (so that's where Jenka's puppies got to...), and the Polar Star design does indeed look "rad as hell".
