Are you an NES fan? If yes, you should totally take a look at what these guys at ‘72 Pins‘ are doing. It will make you giddy with excitement and nostalgia, and if you are into collecting games then this is the best way to showcase your NES games.

Let us clear one thing, though, these guys don’t actually develop games, they just create art with NES cartridges as a canvas to showcase it. The end result is spectacular. In their own words, “it’s modern art with nostalgia mixed in”, and that’s exactly how it looks.

They have a whole bunch of collection, so check them out here, it will make you smile. We have compiled a list of amazing works from these guys, and we think you should take a look, and head on over to their store page to buy these gems. You will not regret it. These are 8-bit awesomeness, truly.

    NES cartage’s almost never had their front picture in 8bit form. There would be special drawings.

    • That handheld memory97.

      In fact excitebike and super mario bros. had 8 bit,as long with other original Nintendo NES titles .

    What the heck… There’s even a re-imaginated “Final Fantasy” catridge? Why? There’s at least 3 Final Fantasy’s on NES/Famicom, so… What’s the point?!

    lol I can totally see an NES shadow of the Colossus. It would be very epic in a flat, pixelated, screen-transitioning way

  • dudemaster

    Very few of these even make sense. Most of them, they just took an existing picture, and made them pixelated. Nintendo cartridges either had actual gameplay graphics on the cover, or hand drawn artwork, never non-gameplay pixel art. Props for Resident Evil, and that’s about all that does it for me.

      Legend of Zelda cartridges NEVER had either of hand drawn art or actual game play. In fact, not many had what you say. Castlevania was also one of them. Many just had logos.

    Most of these are interesting, but the characters’ colors have too many bits per pixel. The NES palette only allowed for a total of 256 colors. Most characters were only designed with two bits per pixel (aka 4 colors). Capcom used separate palettes for the characters’ faces in the Rockman series, which allowed for 8 colors per character, but the shading seen in many of the characters on these new cartridges, such as Angry Birds, was not common, except in the case of bosses who were put against black backgrounds so that their tile data could take full advantage of other colors without worrying about the use of black for their outlines.

    Anyone else notice this list repeated itself several times?

    The cover images look way more like 16-bit games to me. Meh. C- for effort.

  • Dallan

    how about an Aliens: CM NES case?

  • jb2k9

    i love AD as much as the next guy, but I don’t see why there are so many references on NES cartridges…

    Create demakes of FF7 & up, less budget on graphics & voice actors means more budget on gameplay, character development, improved text dialog, & fixing gaping plotholes.
