Street Fighter Tamagotchi Fuses Nostalgic Toys and Games

— November 16, 2011 — Tech
If Street Fighter Tamagotchi actually existed when I was in the third grade, I'm pretty sure I would not be able to multiply or divide as an adult thanks to this glorious distraction. But lucky for me, these didn't exist back then, or ever! They're simply a concept by the talented deviantART user BossLogic, whose affinity for the fighting game franchise has led him to re-imagine Ryu and M.Bison in different, more compact contexts.

Though the idea of Street Fighter Tamagotchi may seem dated with the advent of an app version of Capcom's infamous brawler for the iPhone, these concept images themselves are still rather spectacular. Blending his pixel art prowess with his photo manipulation skills, BossLogic's mock up will no doubt lead a few people to try and hunt down some Street Fighter Tamagotchi on the Internet.
Trend Themes
1. Pixel Art Revival - The concept of blending pixel art with modern technology opens up opportunities in gaming, graphic design, and digital art industries.
2. Nostalgic Gaming - The revival of nostalgic gaming trends can create opportunities for companies in the gaming, toy, and collectibles industries.
3. Conceptual Combinations - The blending of different concepts, such as Street Fighter and Tamagotchi, can inspire innovation in the toy, gaming, and creative industries.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - The concept of Street Fighter Tamagotchi can lead to disruptive innovations in the gaming industry, such as creating hybrid games that combine iconic characters and gameplay mechanics.
2. Toy - The fusion of iconic characters like Ryu and M.Bison with tamagotchi-like toys can disrupt the toy industry by appealing to both children and adults who have nostalgic attachments to classic video games.
3. Creative - The concept of blending pixel art and photo manipulation in creative projects can drive innovation in graphic design, advertising, and visual arts industries.
