[Fangamer] A Fan-Originated Game Brand Becomes a Game Publisher! What Is the Newly Emerging Fangamer?
Fangamer is not just a game merchandise shop. It started as a project from the “MOTHER” series fan community, “Starmen.net”, born out of fans’ passion for the games they loved. Initially, they sold T-shirts and mugs to fund the website’s operations, but their high-quality designs quickly gained a reputation. Today, Fangamer has grown into a beloved brand among gamers worldwide.
Fangamer's greatest appeal lies in its merchandise, which is distinctly different from standard official goods. Their products, including T-shirts, pins, and vinyl records, are designed with deep respect for the game's world and aesthetic. In its early days, to avoid copyright issues, Fangamer developed a unique style—expressing the essence of games without using official logos or symbols. This “if you know, you know” approach is a key factor in its charm for dedicated game fans.
Because Fangamer was born from a fan community, it deeply understands what fans truly want. One of the best examples of this is the unofficial “MOTHER 3” Player’s Guide. Since an official guide was never released, passionate fans took it upon themselves to create one. This philosophy of “fans creating for fans” is at the core of Fangamer’s identity.
In the mid-2010s, Fangamer became a fulfillment partner for Kickstarter game projects, assisting with campaigns for “Broken Age”, “Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night”, and more. Additionally, their collaboration with Toby Fox to sell “UNDERTALE” official merchandise resulted in an unexpected sales boom. This success paved the way for merchandise deals with popular titles such as “Hollow Knight” and “Banjo-Kazooie”.
Fangamer’s growth isn’t just business expansion—it’s rooted in a deep love and respect for gaming. While they obtain official licenses, their brand is much more than just selling merchandise. It’s about creating items that only true fans can craft, for the fans who cherish them. That is the essence of Fangamer.
If you want to feel even closer to your favorite games, why not take a look at Fangamer’s store? You’re bound to find that “special something” from a game you love!
