A reader, He Who Must Not Be Named, sent us a promotional image he somehow got his grubby hands on. It's a promotional illustration for the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console, presumably featuring characters from all the games that will be released in emulated form.

That is a very nice pic. I have a new desktop!

I really like the pic, and it certainly looks professional, but I'm not 100% sold on it's legitimacy.

Nintendo has always been pretty tight with their Intellectual Properties... I just don't see Luigi driving the Sega Outrun car as a 'legit' pic.

But if it is, kudos to the Big N... if it isn't kudos to the Artist :D

I assume you are joking, but just in case... it's R.O.B.!!!

My question is 'Why does he have a Triforce on him?"

More proof of Fan Art?

Ahem, looks like their forum has some PHP trouble at the minute :) Try again later.

But basically, it's a thread on a forum where the maker of this posts different stuff about his workings.

I think the forum at colorrbellion is down.

They mixed some of the themes up on the characters. Pac-man in the upper right also has mario's raccoon tail from SMB3 and is being chased by ghosts.

Yeah, this isn't official art, it's for a collection book called Game Paused (gamepaused.net) that isn't out yet. Dunno who leaked the artwork, it's not on their site (Check www.gamepaused.net/press for some stuff).

Was looking at some of the artwork on www.gamepaused.net/press . Some interesting stuff there.

I like the Mario Mustache picture. http://www.gamepaused.net/press/pages/atomike_studio.html

And what is this and why is there a fire extinguisher under it. That worries me :) http://www.gamepaused.net/press/pages/fur.html

pictured in this photo is R.O.B with a triforce painted on him for some reason who is a unpopular but very cool NES hardware witch onley 2 games were made that actually use him witch were stackup and gryromite so if this is real that would mean they plan on manufactureing new R.O.B's I would like that very much but doutfull, I want a tiny rob jr to hang with big rob
