Gaming-themed Christmas jumpers hitting UK retail this year

MCV Staff 6th November 2014 Business News

Merchandise firm Numskull is bringing a touch of retro to this year’s festive season, with a new range of gaming-themed jumpers.

The jumpers span a variety of older titles, with pixels transformed into yuletide weave.

The Street Fighter jumper sees series staples Ryu and Ken pulling the hadouken fighting move pose either side of – what else – a snowflake.

The rest of the crimson jumper is speckled with a mix of Christmas patterns, snowflakes and ‘KO’s.

Meanwhile, the bright blue PlayStation offering takes the iconic Triangle, Square, Circle and X face button icons and layers them with leaping reindeer, Christmas trees and snowflakes.

Sega icon Sonic takes pride of place on a third top, standing on the Green Hill Zone landscape while snowflakes – and Sonic nemesis Doctor Eggman – float in the sky.

The Christmas jumpers all have a trade price of 16.24, and are available from distributorRubber Road.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
