Measured entry

8bitcn-hero3

heroskeuomorphism

A retro game-title hero with an optional subtitle badge, description, stat cards, actions, child content, scanlines, and blinking fallback copy. It ships as a client-side registry block plus retro CSS and themed badge, button, and card wrappers. It depends on Next.js Link, React, Tailwind-style theme utilities, a cn helper, shadcn base components, class-variance-authority, and Radix.

What the harness recorded

BARE BUILD

✗ Build failed in 973ms
error during build:
[vite]: Rollup failed to resolve import "class-variance-authority" from "<sandbox>re-51c6ef701475/src/components/ui/8bit/button.tsx".

Verdict

Do not adopt it as published: the registry build fails because its themed card wrapper imports a base shadcn card file that is not supplied. The bare version also lacks the cn utility, so it needs a shadcn-style setup before it can compile. Avoid it if you need a verified drop-in component; otherwise treat it as source to repair.

Use it if

  • You are building a game-themed landing page and want configurable title, stats, and calls to action.
  • Your Next.js app already uses shadcn aliases, theme tokens, and base UI components.
  • You are willing to repair registry dependencies and own the retro styling as project code.

Skip it if

  • You need a framework-agnostic hero that can be copied into a plain React project.
  • Your release process requires a component that builds successfully as published.
  • You cannot load the Google-hosted font imported by the bundled stylesheet.
  • You require built-in reduced-motion handling for blinking content.

In a non-shadcn project, add path aliases, a cn utility, Tailwind theme tokens and utilities, base badge, button, and card components, Next.js Link or a local replacement, React client support, class-variance-authority, Radix Slot support, and the retro stylesheet with its font import. The missing base card must be present before building.
