Get it?

No, those look like pretty cool inventions to me.

instead of youre a, try youre as successful as...
or something to make it clearer. good idea once i saw the title

uh, no...

do explain

I'm a virtual reality robot? Thanks =)

Good rendition, but the message is as clear as trying to read binary from a micro chip with the naked eye.

HECK NO!
THE GLOVE WAS THE BEST THING EVER!

So, it's pretty clear then beerlover? Thanks for the supernerderific analogy i don't get at all. lol. I understand these are some of the very small amount of Nintendo merchandise that bit the big one in terms of popular demand (althought all of these machines had their innovations and their moments, they were all severely flawed and not supported by many games after their respected launches). Love the mock Nintendo coloring and typography, but maybe you should just go without words and just a big red outline around the squares, and an even bigger international sign for "NO" with the circle and the line through it. OR maybe instead of "you're a", perhaps "Now You're Playing With Power?" or "Power-Up?"

I got it right away... I think it was pretty clear if you play video games. Not every shirt can be designed for everybody to understand...

I don't even think adding the Sony mini disc format to this list would help this be crystal clear. It's hard to think of something that symbolizes failure. I guess it's one of those things that really depends on your point of view. Short of putting the word failure on this shirt, I don't think it's very successful.

i'm with Frickinawesome and CLGrovo!

I think this is great... and NOT that hard to figure out! And I think Frickinawesome's idea of maybe no text or just changing to to "Power Up" or something would be great...

It's hard to think of something that symbolizes failure.

Two words:
George Bush.

But that doesn't tie in with the whole "electronics failure" theme. I honestly didn't understand this shirt until I read all the comments on it.. I thought the glove thing looked pretty neat, actually.

game systems that didn't make it?

game systems that didn't make it?

Haha, yeah I liked it once I read the title. I do like the 'as successful as' Idea a little better.

yeah i's a little unclear but, I love the idea essentially.

r.o.b. wasn't a failure! look, now he's on mario kart ds.

this is crazy! i still have R.O.B.! My cousin has the power glove! remember in the movie the wizard when fred savage had to use it! and that virtual reality game my one friend had, AND IT SUCKED!!!! this is pretty cool and i love the concept. there are a lot of younger people on here who dont know about this time and era. we're dealing with the "xbox 360" era now. A BIG DIFFERENCE!

why should you taint the design with a big ugly "circle with a line through it"
it's good the way it is

wow, good one 'the ringleader', bashing George Bush, really original

I don't know if the 'failure' message comes across, but who cares...retro NES, the God-Child of Atari and the doorway to modern console gaming. I love it. Makes me yearn for those hours of simple gaming. I hope they print this...please...I'm gonna say a little prayer for it. $5000000000!

I get this and I LOVE this. The old-school Nintendo colouring totally makes this shirt. Fiver.

The point of the shirt is that not everybody will get it. If you owned or played with (or tried to play with) any one of the items, you'd get it. Poor Nintendo, they were just too ahead of their time.

AWE! No way! I don't care if the Virtual Boy failed. I love it. I got like...almost all the games. I wouldn't get this shirt if I didn't see the title, but I liked where you were going.

no. no i don't get it at all.

I had the robot one!!! ^^

I'm old enough to recognize every device, but i'm thrown off by the text.

its weird tho, people wont see those as failures, they will see them as like the most awesome inventions ever.

"I love... the PowerGlove" DURDURDUUUURDUR! DURDUUURRDURDUUURDUR!

Who never stoped when the Virtual boy told you to... I DIN'T, now I have glasses.... :(

Are you crazy! These items are part of Nintendo legend! ROB even made it to Mario Kart DS, and I think he's even in Smash Bros. Brawl. The power glove is infamous for being a must-have item in the 80's to be the "coolest kid on the block."

This t-shirt would be perfect, on gray, without the "You're a."

Those items are great. I would totally get the shirt if it didn't have the whole "failure" connotation.

...those are all actual Nintendo items? SWEET

As a gamer, it makes complete sense, but yeah, for those who are less gaming oriented, a clearer design would work. Still, I'd buy it, being the Nintendo fan I am.

I'd personally love it without the text. Advertising my leety failure at life! YAAAYYY

This shirt made me break out my virtual boy and get a horrible headache all over again! YAY FOR FAILURES!

$5

I got the full meaning once I read the title. I LOVE the idea but agree it's hard to convey "failure" (with exception to the George Bush insert). But I also agree that all of these things failed miserably. I hate to give people design advice, but maybe new words? Otherwise I love it.

"the power-glove ... it's so bad" - The Wizard

leave out the 'You're a' and it's a fine gadget tee

I really don't get it...
You're a virtual reality powerglove robot?
I guess...?

this IS the winner of the contest for sure!

haha... I still have my Virtual Boy. I remember getting it at Toys 'r Us for like $30 when it was discontinued. I played the tennis game for a few hours then took it off and could hardly walk around.

It was like watching Tron, the world seemed so colorful and confusing afterwards.

J-Ray: "I'm a virtual Reality robot? Thanks =)"

This made me laugh out loud (that's right no acromyns for me) at my desk . . . I think all my co-workers think I'm short bus special now.

Wow....seeing all these comments from people who don't immediatley recgonize a power glove or a R.O.B. just makes me feel old.

I dont remember the 3rd product what was that? or is it made up?
