New York, New York (PRWEB) December 01, 2014
8 Bit Ave, Inc. today announced the launch of 8BitAve.com, the source for everything 8-bit. The website and brand, hailed as “retro gear for modern living,” aim to be the go-to resource for rare games, consoles, art, music, and specialty items.
8BitAve.com offers modern, easy-to-navigate design and a rich site experience. The online store houses a plethora of items curated for gamers and video game enthusiasts, with new products launching monthly. Customers can quickly find and order from various product categories, including retro gaming, music, 3-D printing, apparel, décor, toys, and electronics. The products on offer are sourced from various outlets and artists; the 8BitAve.com team scours everything from 8-bit music festivals to major conventions and trade shows like E3 to uncover new innovations.
According to the site’s owner, Josh the “8-bit admin,” 8BitAve.com is the online hub for those who want to inject retro and modern gear into their lifestyle. He has been playing video games and amassing gaming paraphernalia for nearly twenty years; his collection to date includes 11 consoles, three handhelds, and over 450 games. As he searched for more collectibles and specialty pieces, he found that there wasn’t one website dedicated to all the shopping needs of a gaming devotee. So he decided to create one, founding 8 Bit Ave, Inc. in 2014.
“The purchasing power of the gaming community extends far beyond a desire to have a particular console or game,” says Josh. “They are open to finding new and fun products that promote their passion, and we want to be their resource. A customer can find an original Nintendo NES controller, a reproduction NES-to-USB controller, and a fully functional NES controller coffee table, all in one place at 8bitave.com. They can even send us a homebrewed file of their favorite game characters and we can bring them to life using our 3-D printers. No other site offers that.”
8BitAve.com supplies games and gear for various systems such as Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES), Sega Genesis, and Nintendo 64. The homepage promotes featured products, new launches and seasonal collections, as well as top rated and best selling items. Each product page offers high-resolution photos, product features, and pricing information for no-hassle shopping.
To cater to the website’s clientele, 8BitAve.com also offers unique products that can rarely be found on any other site. The company offers albums from 8-bit musicians, who program their music on Gameboy devices. The result is 21st century music with retro flavor and a one-of-a-kind sound. 8BitAve.com’s décor and specialty electronics hit home the company’s mantra to provide truly unique products. Customers can shop for charging docks made from retro joysticks, or lamps made out of controllers from every Nintendo system.
The 8BitAve.com Blog and social media outlets expand the site experience beyond e-commerce. The site’s Blog (8bitave.com/blog/) houses articles on industry news and innovations related specifically to the retro gaming community. 8BitAve.com’s Youtube channel will feature product un-boxing videos to showcase their features as soon as new products arrive.
Additional categories and features are planned as the site develops, with a special emphasis on providing a seamless, truly enjoyable customer experience. Gaming enthusiasts are always on the hunt for the latest product or the rarest game – 8BitAve.com aims to satisfy those cravings with their vast catalog and invaluable know-how.
