dc.description.abstractWe argue that the huge success of Augmented Reality game Pokémon Go has little to do with clever design. Rather, the success is due to the nostalgic branding, with a franchise for which people already have great affection. As exasperated academics, rather than resist, we have decided to sell out. We suggest that a similar nostalgic branding strategy allows any mildly interesting HCI project to gain similarly huge benefits of public engagement. We provide the HCI community with a crude nostalgification tool – MC Hammer’s Hammer of Nostalgification – and present a number of case studies that illustrate its power.en
