## Transcript

hey guys welcome back so today we're going to take a look at a product by Joe Sabo so we have you ever ran into this issue if you look at my shelf over here you look at my n64 carts I only have three of them with labels and the rest I can't tell what the heck they are so what is awesome is Joe Sabo sells these kits on both Etsy and his store and what these kits are is their N64 label kits and they come in a few different ways you can buy them white red black and clear and I'm going to show you I have the black and clear ones here today to show you and all the links in the description of where to get these things but the beauty of it is it makes it so much easier to organize and see what carts you have in your collection so let's go over to the table camera really quick so over at the table cam you'll see I've got the color variant of the labels which are black and then I've got the clear ones and I actually installed one of them prior to the video on a road rash cart Check it out real quick I going to get it zoomed in for you and I mean these are some high quality labels They look awesome. So see the level of detail on these? They look great and these are the clear ones. So you know if you have the cart laying on a shelf you can clearly see the name of the game which is awesome. So as you have them stacked up it's great. Now I'm going to zoom back out here so you can see the rest of the labels, but the labels are very high quality and he gives you the whole entire N64 catalog. So for instance, here are all the clear labels. And the only thing he recommends is you clean the top of the carts off with alcohol before you install them. But what's so great is you'll have them all organized and they'll look awesome and you're dealing with some high quality labels. There are other imitators out there, but this is by far the best ones that I have seen. So obviously if I was gonna install it on here, I would clean the top of this with alcohol. Same with my... Although my... Yeah, my Duke Nukem doesn't look too good. I might need a front label for that too But that the whole beauty of it is if you collecting N64 games you going to want these things and it will be a huge help so i will have links in the description but for those of you that don't know joe sabo let's just go over to the website really quick because he does a lot more than this so if you're into full-size arcades and things like that he has full art kits for full-size arcades if you're into arcade one-up he sells these awesome nba jam toppers which are brand new for the NBA Jam cabinet, which are great. I showcased that in my NBA Jam review. He's got artwork for the AtGames Legends Ultimate, which a lot of people are into these days. He has cabinet artwork for arcade one-ups, but not only that, his claim to fame has always been full-size arcades. So if you look at some of his arcade art, he's got a whole bunch of stuff there. He did a full-size cuphead. That's Joe, actually, with the cuphead thing on. It's pretty funny. but yeah you can go here and there's a whole bunch of full-size art kits so he does an amazing job he's very well respected in the industry and he's actually a really nice guy on top of that so i will have links to his website if you looking for any kind of artwork or any custom project he got basically everything there is to it and he super super creative so he can bring your projects to life if it something that is more complex so that all i really wanted to cover i'll you know let me know what you guys think of these things it allows you to organize your n64 carts in a way that makes it a hell of a lot easier to see them when they're you know on a shelf or something and if you look i can't wait to finish all of mine so they don't look like that anymore and i can actually see what games are there so that'd be awesome so thanks Joe for making these really cool product again check it out I'll link in the description give me a thumbs up if you like this video put your comment below if these are something that you're looking for been looking for want to do because I'm pretty OCD so I can't wait to get those all looking really great that's it guys we will see you on the next one you
