twiztor | 850 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Iam8bit just announced they've partnered with Retrotainment and Topps to release a new game for the NES based on classic card line, Garbage Pail Kids. Not sure how i feel about this. On one hand, it's pretty neat that something like that is getting a real release in 2022 2023, but on the other, i don't know that i am interested enough for an $80 purchase. https://www.iam8bit.com/products/garbage-pail-kids-nes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot | 5,800 Events Team · Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Dude, it was over $95 with shipping and taxes. Thanks, drunk me! I got suckered into it for sure. Had a couple few beers and I was all in. It's official GPK Topps licensed and includes exclusive 8 bit style cards. The cards pushed me over the top. More of a slight nudge really... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I never got into Garbage Pail Kids, so the nostalgia isn't there for me. I'll be interested to see if the game is actually any good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enternal | 15 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Last month found set of Series 3 Garbage Pail kids at a flea market so when I saw this (via JohnRiggs) I was already sold, even if the 80 dollar price and 14.95 shipping is off putting. But agreed, it being an official licensed product along with having cards pushed the me through that high price. I don't know if its active anymore as I ordered on the 30th but CEREALMONSTERS coupon code gave 10% off which also helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirVillain | 488 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 (edited) At least it's a new game. That's interesting. But this....

Because chumps will re-buy them in fancy plastic, then have them permanently encapsulated in plastic prisons and claim that they're work 10-100x what they cost at retail. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't specifically seen The Lion King, either, but I knew they were doing reprints of older games. This is a pretty lukewarm take at this point.

B.A. | 1,139 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Woo Hoo!!! Got mine today. I hit the "Ultra limited" pink cart, though it looks more red to me. Says 1 in 8 odds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT | 91 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I got the dark blue clear version. I preferred the original design and colors, but it will be fun to try and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,723 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 I saw people getting pissy on FB saying they wouldn't have bought the game if they knew the color scheme was going to be changed. All I can say is what's the point of buying the game if you aren't going to play the damned thing, in which case the color isn't important. I'm the biggest shelf collector in the world but even this is too much stupidity for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original mockup was definitely a pink that resembled the gum color from wax packs where the red is nothing close. I don't really care personally, but I can understand the disappointment. I would have preferred closer to the colors show originally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRobot | 5,800 Events Team · Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Also received the neon pink cart. Def not "stale" which I would've preferred but I was expecting to receive the turquoise anyway. Only thing that would make it better would be some actual stale crunchy ass gum.
