The 25th anniversary of Zelda just past (may we all celebrate that sacred holiday) and we wanted to release a set of NES to commemorate it along with some original art work (that is underway.)  We already had the Super Mario created.

So what was the hold up?

NES cases can't be ordered, they're not pre-made and they're impossible to just buy.  They're modified from our existing game cases.  Down in my basement work room I have a wide variety of tools and a secret method for modifying the cases to safely house a NES cartridge.  Loads can go wrong while modifying a game case and cutting through the plastic, horribly scratching the front or even burning the plastic are just a few of the many perils of the DIY NES modification project.  

Even people who make their own game cases will buy NES cases from us because I have developed a fairly reliable method for case modification.  (If you're interested in modifying your own case there are several tutorials on YouTube although they do not use our method.) 

Time consuming, expensive and risky we don't make too many NES cases (most that we do make end up on our own shelves...) but I hope we will make more in the future because they're fun to work on.  The expense we have to pass along unfortunate.  

This year we are going to work on dropping our prices - but the cost of running a printer (ever bought ink cartridges anyone?) buying the heavier weight paper and not skimping on details is expensive.   We always have an exceptional secondary printer on standby encase our large professional wide format photo printer hiccups.  

Thanks for the large forums giving us linkage love this week, we have enjoyed the traffic and Google results boost. :)  There is such a wide community supporting us that it's really humbling.
