So ideally I’d like to gather all official merch on this blog. These are some of the rare posters I’ve seen looking around trying to find the promo one I just bought . The third one is a cutting from an old magazine (likely a Nintendo Power). The Japanese poster would be like a holy grail at this point, if it even exists anymore

Xardion

With the resurgence of interest in exploration-focused “Metroidvania” platformers, from original titles like Axiom Verge, Hollow Knight and Shantae to remakes of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and Metroid II (twice!), it seems strange that 1992’s Xardion continues to languish in obscurity.

Have a great day!

I have acquired some ridiculous rarity Xardion Asmik Corp of America poster (paid a pretty penny to get it parted from a SNES lot). I’ll try to get a better photo eventually of it. But it’s going in a frame. Btw the Xardion tumblr is not dead! It lives on & I will continue to add fanart & other official merch I find
