I have the game. It is made of pure, raw awesome. There was so much awesome used to make this game, there was maybe just a little left over for everybody else.

Unfortunately, I lack a NES. -is shot-
Is it available for ROM Download or Virtual Console?

Both. (Well, I know that Kid Icarus is available for VC download in the U.S., not sure about the other countries.)

Nintendo POWER!

Also the "blue pants guy" from Contra is Bill Rizer. He's been the hero of the series since the first title, but in translations, the hero is always called something else (Mad Dog, Jimbo, etc.).

LOL!!!

Gotta love that laughing dog.

Awesome!!!

I thought Zelda was actually Goddess Palutena from Kid Icarus. It was quite a rescemblence to me at least.
And Little Mac lookin awesome as always.

What's Mike looking at? The crystal ball from ST1?

He's looking at the Black Marble from the NES classic arcade port, Marble Madness.

I thought that having just Mario, Zelda, and Metroid characters on it would just lessen the value a bit, so I went and included the more lesser-known characters. Marble Madness FTW!

And Amazon's asking price is just too much... >< Time to hit the pawn shops and garage sales. Actually, you could put an ad in the paper, saying "WANTED: YOUR SUPER NINTENDO." That should get someone's attention.

I like the colors you used and the simplicity, yet it's detailed at the same time. Very nice.

To be honest, I hated the colors I used. I want to experiment a little more, but I jumped the gun on this one.

PilgrimJohn In reply to Cecil-Sayataki [2007-11-01 22:38:43 +0000 UTC]

They're there, standing next to the word Nintendo. I decided not to add them in the NES shot, since that would mean less room for equally-awesome NES characters. (How many Battletoads and Sypha Belnades fanarts do you see around DA?)

Cecil-Sayataki In reply to PilgrimJohn [2007-11-04 09:26:14 +0000 UTC]

Ah, I didn't see them XD

I barely see any Battletoad or Sypha fanart. And I gotta say, back on the SNES, Battletoads and Double Dragons was one of my favorite games. Even if I couldn't get past the third level boss.

Well, the NES kicks PS2's ass. I don't care who loves PS2, the NES started this whole enchilada. While I'd go so far as to say that Super Nintendo and Genesis are the spicy sauces on top of the enchilada, the NES is the refried beans and grilled cheese filling. The PS2 would be the olives, lol.

really? i played smash on the old system and then smash melee when the gamecube came out. my cousins just had to show off, and it's no fun if you can't beat two nintendo-stupid girls into the dust. ah, link! ^_^ how come i don't see any roy or marth fanart out there, am i using the wrong keywords?

You should try putting "fire emblem" after or before their names. Or, actually, you should also try "super smash bros." as well.
