Impersonate a 1990s Nintendo employee


GameSniped has a roundup of one eBay seller's truly bizarre Nintendo employee items -- not just the usual retail demo units, but stuff like pins awarded for 1, 2, and 3 years of service, and, well, this hat. We can't say enough about the hat.

We'd look like huge nerds wearing a hat like that (being non-cowboys/farmers/people who see sunlight), and Nintendo-logo-emblazoned hats are nerdy as a rule, so this beautiful piece of haberdashery, swag from Nintendo's 1996 semi-annual company meeting in Nashville, is a nexus of nerdity.

Okay, there are actually a lot of retail demo units, too, and a neat Nintendo Power display stand. We've been jaded by the Internet if we have allowed ourselves to stop being impressed by the availability of old store demo systems on eBay.
