Squirtle brings a surf trio to the NES.

Three sax-playing Squirtles, three surfboards, and a sweep of curling waves. A fresh digital design preview from the workshop, with print preparation and physical fit checks still ahead.

The NES workshop has a little surf band now. Our latest Squirtle lid concept brings a larger sax-playing surfer together with two smaller companions, each riding a separate board above blue waves and white foam.

This revision adds the two smaller riders and more curling waves around the original main figure. The companions share the same sculpt and pose, giving the trio a playful rhythm across the lid.

These images are digital design previews, not photographs of a finished print. The design has not been sliced or printed. Small details, supports, mounting, cartridge movement, physical fit and cooling still need preparation and testing; the colors shown are concept colors.
