Imagine how cheap that kid who always played as Ryu would have been with a Haddoken button. That’s almost as frightening as the idea of Ken with a Shoryuken button. But I digress— it’s just hard not to get wrapped in classic gaming nostalgia thanks to Arcade Magnets. Designed to resemble arcade joystick buttons these magnets frame your fridge photos to look like something out of your favorite fighting game. The set includes magnets that look like a joystick and buttons marked block, punch, kick and Haddoken—which makes me wonder why real arcade buttons weren’t clearly marked. I probably wouldn’t have wasted so many quarters if I wasn’t just randomly button mashing. $12
