Many people have posted images of video game inspired cakes, cupcakes, etc. Another common place to find video game inspired food is Bento Boxes. Check out some of these examples I found on google. Pretty impresive!
It is interesting that all of these food items are Japanese "bento lunch boxes." I guess it is a little tongue and cheek reference to Nintendo's Japanese roots.
Nintendo doesn't always acknowledge its Japanese ties to Americans. However, I know in class we watched a commercial for the Wii with the two Japanese men extending a controller. So its interesting how marketing plays a role in brand identity. Are they a cool imported brand or a cool domestic brand?
