Tag'd: Nintendo graffiti hits the streets of Norway


If you ever find yourself in Oslo, Norway, during your travels, you might just run into a few familiar faces. That would be the faces of sprites from Nintendo mascots and other gaming characters alike, gracing trash cans and signs all about the town. And, upon looking at TheFunkyHorror's Flickr photo set, we wonder how much walking around the guy did to take all of these pictures.

Is it just us, or do some of those pictures look photochopped, though?

it dosen't take a baboon to figure out that that is fake.

you can tell the sprite is photochopped and is surrounded by reality

They're not fake, they're stickers. If you look at them big you can see the wrinkles and some are ripped. The color around them are weird because they must have wiped the area down to get them to stick.

A friend of mine says she's seen them, and I'll keep my eyes open while going about my business in Oslo today.
