If you recall, some time ago the Mr. (in all his awesomeness) created a video to show you the tokidoki gear all Xbox Live users can now purchase on their dashboards for their avatars. I’ve already gone ahead and bought myself the ice cream licking t-shirt, along with an eye patch and a pair of gauchos. Anyway, I’m getting off track here. It seems that I wasn’t exaggerating when I said Simone was taking over, since he’s now created art for the upcoming Need for Speed Nitro intended for Nintendo DS and the Wii.

Tokidoki won’t be the only art included from the designer toy/lowbrow movement. The upcoming racing game will also feature the art from Upper Playground artist’s Sam Flores and Jeremy Fish and artists from the well-known I Am 8-Bit collective. I’m loving these news and though I haven’t played a racing game since Burnout (I was so damn addicted and competitive), I think I’ll pick this game up when it’s released. Both the Wii and DS(i) are perfect platforms for tokidoki’s art style.
