Promo image of Virtual Console???
« on: July 31, 2006, 08:05:35 AM »
Very cool, don't know if it's a fake or not (most likely is) but it's still bad ass!

That is an awesome, awesome picture.. although if I had to guess I would say it was a fan-made wallpaper. Just one that was very well done.

The VC will have Mappy?

Some of that seems like it might be from arcades, but one way or another, yes, it's bad ass.

Though, it has entirely too much winking going on.

I recognize too many characters...I'm surprised at some of the more obscure ones being on there, which makes me think this is a fan-made thing.  But very well done!

The mountain with the egg has me thinking "Link's Awakening", which has me thinking "Not from the VC" since I don't think Nintendo has said anything about Gameboy.

Still an awesome picture. What does that joker Protoman think he's doing with Peach?  I never liked that guy...  
That's my opinion, not yours.

Actually, he was in LttP or one of the older Zeldas, if I remember correctly.

I think GB games will likely be on there as well.

Possibly even as DS downloads...

EDIT: I just noticed: one of the Hammer Bros middle left is playing a GB.

Hmm...

So is the Snow Brother above him... but in terms of GB downloads to DS, I doubt it considering it has no permanent way to store them built in.

GB should most definitely be there, but it's not neccessary.

Does anybody else see Castlevania kirby?

Kirby as Simon Belmont is neat, though the cross boomerang looks more like a cross, Nintendo probably wouldn't have it that way (re: religious references).  Also, his whip hides "FLICKY", making it look like a bad word.

I like how just below the center you see Wonder Boy and Master Higgins both reaching for the axe (Wonder Boy and the first Adventure Island game were essentially the same), but I'm pretty sure official artwork wouldn't make an in-joke that might make one hesitant to download both.

Also, there are obscure characters...nearby those two above, I see the guy from Rockin' Kats.  He's kind of obscure, with only one game, as far as I know.  Then there's also Mighty Bomb Jack, Kid Dracula, Mappy, Sonson, Solar Fox (I think that's his name), the Parasol Stars heroes, Firebrand, TwinBee, a ship presumably from one of the Darius games, Ebisumaru, Bubbles, the kiwi from Kiwi Kraze/New Zealand Story...and other characters more well-known and less well-known.  

Unless all their games are guaranteed to come out for the VC at some point, and for the other reasons mentioned above, it's most likely not official, but as a fan-made piece of art, it's an interesting who's who of classic games...now I feel like finding some Where's Waldo books.

(Someone should make Where's Waldo-style books, but with video game characters in video game settings.  It's fun to find Waldo in a crowded airport, but I'd rather look for a Podoboo hidden among the Rinkas in Tourian.)

I remember a game where a blue penguin is running forward (the perspective is from behind him).  Antarctic Adventure or something?  It's either him or Parodius.  Or maybe they're the same blue penguin.

According to the conversation on Kotaku, where this was lifted from, it's fan made if there was any doubt (near the bottom of the conversation):

Bue penguin = Pengo if memory serves me correctly. Old arcade title, believe it was SEGA's doing. Also, mark my words...GB/GBC downloads and an accessory the lets you take VC games on the go via DS or a new handheld specifically for portable VC (And like HELL they'd name it Virtual Boy DX ;x)

but no megaman. or am i just not seeing him...

Edit1: make that seven i forgot about Beat and The Metool

also, what the hell is that koopa kid in? (i wanna say he's mort but i dont rememember for sure) he's next to the snow bros.

lol at popo and nana

Edit2: make that 8? that flying angler fish robot could be the ones from bubblemans stage in mm2, just a different color... wait i think its from x2 (launch octopus)

Who's the white-haired kid between King Hippo and Donkey Kong?  He reminds me of a game I read about waaaaaaaaaaaaaay long ago in Nintendo Power called Kid Dracula or Kid Vampire or something like that.  It was about a vampire kid who had to save his dad.  I think it was for the NES.  (Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?)

It also looks like that character on the bottom next to the bicycle has the leaf shield from MM2.  And I'm pretty sure that angler ship thing is from Darius.  Also, Launch Octopus was in X1.

or link or samus or sonic for that matter.

edit: actually yeah, i meant x1 but originaly thought x2 because of the fish-shaped sub you have to destroy in bubble crabs stage, just forgot to fix that.

also about the guy with the leaf sheild... i remember playing a game along time ago, no clue what system it was on, but there was a lil blue elf guy that had two powers in the beginning of the game: one was to shrink, and the other was a leif sheild. i remember when he shrunk he could stand on leaves that would float on the water and use them as platforms to get across giant gaps. thats all i remember about the game, that and playing it in a huge dept. store like caldors or bradley's or something. does anyone know what game im thinking about, or know who that character is??

also... above dr. wily and dr. eggman, next to Wart... whose the lil chubby kid that looks like luigi?
and right under ganon, the lil chef guy reminds me of burger time which i would love to play again, and the guy next to him holding the hamburger... is that supposed to be jason (cuz i know he had some friday the 13th games out) or the guy from earthbound that wore the shy-guy like mask? if its from earthbound, that guy had blond hair and wasnt bald. he doesnt exactly look like a serial killer either...
