No, you’re not allowed to bring your new Xbox into the shower, but maybe these soapy gamer cartridges will suffice.
Firebox has released Game Boy and Super Nintendo cartridges, to really get your head in the game. Not only super nostalgic, these soaps are also vegan-friendly. Early 90s meets 21st century in perfect harmony with an invigorating citrus scent. These game soaps come in all your favorite cartridges like Donkey Kong, Tetris, Super Mario Kart and many more. As an added homage to our youth, they even come in their signature plastic Game Boy case. With the main ingredients being coconut oil, palm oil, and safflower oil, it's not just a gimmick, it's actually soap.
They won’t be released until March 2014, but you can pre-order them today. Clean up, then get your game on.
