Help Celebrate New Games for
Legacy Retro Systems
Developers making new NES games travel from all around the world to attend the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee. It has become a veritable summit where we showcase ideas, hold workshops, celebrate the community, and reveal developments that help keep development alive for this system we all love.
You can help sponsor developers' travel for this exciting event. Just know, we're not asking for a handout. We're looking for partners who are equally invested in seeing this community continue to grow.

What You Get:
Easily recoup the entirety of your sponsorship - ten free copies to resell of a special physical NESmaker bundle, which includes an activation code for the NESmaker software with an included bonus bluray of The New 8-bit Heroes documentary about the NES indie and homebrew community. The suggested retail for this bundle is $50.
Enthusiastic live marketing to a vetted and targeted retro game loving audience - at the event, signage with a sponsorship thank you including the name of and QR code to your business at the booth of the developer you helped to sponsor.
