The photo is blurry, but Shigeru Miyamoto is definitely at Nintendo World. I don’t think anyone should be surprised by that, though!

Much like the Chrono Trigger marriage proposal from 2008, Matt modified a copy of Earthbound in order to ask his new fiancé, Liz, to marry him during the “EarthBound Fanfest.” It’s pretty sweet – The dog was there to celebrate as well!

I suppose that’s interesting, but that just doesn’t look like a ton of fun to me. I’d prefer to play Super Mario Bros. with a regular controller.

Fan creates incredible image featuring 200 video game characters as Mega Man sprites
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Random | 3 Comments
Some of you may have seen Chris Bringhurst’s original picture with 100 video game characters. Recently though, he made a new image with 200 characters (see below). Chris explained to PixiGeek how the original idea started:
“Well, I work at a call center that has some pretty long stretches of nothing, and I get bored pretty easily. I had thought before how cool it would be if Master Chief and the Halo franchise were given the Mega Man treatment. So I took about two days – yes, that long – and tried to create the best Master Chief Mega Man sprite I could in between calls at work. People liked it and asked me to do others, so I tinkered with Mortal Kombat a little, then Nathan Drake from Uncharted, and I realized that there were literally hundreds of characters in the video game universe who might really work with that retro look that we all love. Two months later, here I am.”
Chris says that he takes requests, so if you’d like to see a video game character reimagined as a Mega Man sprite, make sure to let him know!.

King Hippo and Donkey Kong look kind of similar, don’t they?

It’s true that the sprite comparisons are at the same angle, but you can’t deny that there King Hippo and Donkey Kong are alike in many ways. Just look at the positions of the characters’ arms. Heck, even their facial expressions are comparable!
