May 15 2009Eye Candy: Classic Video Game Remakes
This is a little gallery of re-imagined video games by deviantARTist Orioto (aka Mikaël Aguirre). This is Kid Icarus and Donkey Kong Country here. Unfortunately, these don't do the full sized pictures justice, so you'll need to head over to Mikaël's deviantART page to see them in their full glory. Otherwise, you're cheating yourself. Like performing a stranger, but worse.
Hit the jump for a preview of a couple of my favorites.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exacelt like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max saw Dr. Daystrom almost get mugged by a pimp. However Dr. D. was a badass and told the pimp, "I'm sorry, I don't have any 'bread' on me, and as for 'kicking my ass' I'd strongly suggest you give it careful consideration before trying. " Max took off but thought it was pretty funny.

9. Pew³ - May 15, 2009 5:30 PM
Someone should do an elaborate remake of pong.
10. naas - May 15, 2009 5:41 PM
Nice, and I have to say I like the first pic the best. I miss kid icarus, but I'm sure I could find a rom of it online if I looked for 10 minutes
11. Angel Mass - May 15, 2009 5:49 PM
Most of them look ready for Ps3

These really aren't that great. They look extremely amateur. Most of them are photochop cheats and too much reliability on fancy brushes.
If you're going to plug an artist, plug a professional. In the ass. With beads.

If you think about it, daisy is probably right this time, in that those pictures are a photoshop job.

the GW has a twitter?
20. Boost - May 15, 2009 8:48 PM
Seriously Daisy?
What kind of a person does this.
Posts the exact same thing (almost) on EVERY post EVERY day for like a year now.
Kinda feel sorry for him/her actually. Prolly just sits around his/her house all day feeling sorry for themselves for what a piece of s*** they are.
Seriously Daisy, go hang yourself.
21. Tennist0 - May 15, 2009 9:23 PM
@boost- noob FAIL!
22. Truk - May 15, 2009 9:27 PM
@20 LOLOLOLOLOLOL but not very nice. still... LOLOLOLOLOL
I know it's not NES but a sweet Toejam & Earl pic would get me excited for some button thumping.
Watch out for the phantom icecream truck!
23. Truk - May 15, 2009 9:33 PM
@21- WTF is with you @ssholes that think ur cool cause you've been commenting on this site forever?! Obviously boost is not a noob because he/she has noticed Daisy's posts over the past year.
I'd say "fail" but I'd be playing right into your stupid little game.
@sshole.

26. STOMPY - May 16, 2009 2:39 AM
Hey, remember that time when Truk was acting like a drama queen, and someone named boost was smart enough search the archives a year back and to see how long daisy was posting, and then they started be-acthing about someting?
Ya, me neither...
27. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - May 16, 2009 8:12 AM
@STOMPY
Yeah, I remember it like it was yesterday. Good times, good times. 3 hours and 49 minutes until beer o'clock. This will be a good day.
