Has it really been so long? Japanese hipster/retro culture store Meteor has unveiled this year’s My Famicase exhibition, an arena for 58 Japanese designers and artists to create fictional NES game labels, adhered to cartridges just like the real thing.

Sadly, even by Japanese standards most of these games are too bizarre to coexist peacefully in our world, and it is with a heavy heart that I’ve resigned myself to the fact I will never get to play Look at the Rainbow, Loveletter or the lengthily-titled Because it is Strong, it is Stout, it is Courageous, and it is Popular. Kauji in Childhood in my lifetime.

Castlevania loaded in Super Mario Bros. 3:

Gradius II loaded in Gradius:

Castlevania 3: Dracula\'s Curse loaded in Castlevania 2: Simon\'s Quest:

L over at SelectButton has made some amazing glitch art (and music!) by loading the save state from one NES game into a completely different (and thus incompatible) title, under emulation of course. The consequent memory corruption produces a bizarre, glitched out approximation of both games. Is this what happens when you put two NES cartridges into one of Jeff Goldblum’s telepods? Read the thread on their forums for more screens and experiments.
