HD 8-bit Remakes in HiSMS and HDNes

[Tygerbug]

Yeah, I was curious if the people who are working with ripped models from games for Gamecube, Wii etc. would be interested in recreating sprite sheets for Master System and NES games at 4x. If you've got a model like a Ninja or Mario or Birdo or Donald Duck or Master Higgins or the Bubble Bobble characters rigged and ready it wouldn't be that difficult to render/screencap the poses required.

There's a lot of potential. I can't run these 4x emulators myself on my Mac but I have been discussing this at NESDEV with Marcelo who did the Alex Kidd remake and Mkwong98 who programmed HDNes. I might indeed do something here! I'm an artist and I've already done some NES art including a Birdo/SMB2 comic, so sure ...

I've dug up these pieces of art (by other people) as inspiration.
