Artist's Comments

Major update:
Yesterday evening I was browsing DeviantArt and noticed that my Nintendo Retro submission dominated all my other works in views, favorites and comments. It's kind of surprising to me because it was so poorly made. I decided that if it's going to be my most popular piece that I should go back and give it a little more love.

I opened PhotoShop and started a new version. It's still not a master piece and the resolution / detail is a little low but it's worlds better than the old version. This one is more true to the classic console in color and design. I was going to do more with the nunchuk but it looked a little cluttered when I tried to add more detail. The logo is a mix between the Retro Studio's logo and the Virtual Boy font.
This is what I feel the Nintendo Wii should be. Maybe not in appearance [though that would be amazing] but in content and quality. The games of the 8 and 16 bit era were amazing. In fact most of the older games I own get more play than my newer ones.

A huge thank you to all the people who commented, viewed, and fav'd the old version. I hope you like the new one just as much.

To Nintendo I have this to say.
1] Keep up the amazing work on your games and systems
2] Your games are great but please give us some new IP's
3] Please listen more to your fans and get your act together with your online services.

I also made a SNES version here. [link]

If you liked this you might like my animation too. [link]

If you want to see the older version of this pic it's here in my scraps.

EDIT: I changed the location of the systems name so It's more like the NES, and I changed the Home, + and - buttons to black like the Start and Select on the NES pad.
Sorry if this pops up again in any watchers list.

As parodies go, it is pretty slick, I'll give you that! I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo adopt a similar look in special consoles or something though, especially with the way they're pushing the whole 'retro download library' deal. That and, well, this design just reeks of retro cool. :P

I'm actualy hoping they do this. It would take me back to the good old days. I'm trying to find a E-mail address to send this to the big N and sugest it.

Dude, it's like someone used a Polymerization to fuse together a NES with the Wii.

Wow. So many nice comments on a image I thought was poorly done.
I guess it's more the idea behind the image than the actual quality though. Thanks for all the compliments. :)
