"The realm of video game fanart is host to many strange oddities. Not all works are simple recreations of the source material, instead fan artists can tend to become more liberal in their interpretations of their favorite gaming heroes by creating bizarre renditions featuring crossovers, mash-ups, and even gender bending sex changes."

Edge Magazine has produced probably one of the best ways to get a person to subscribe to a print magazine again... have an incentive being you get this bad ass "Pixel Poster" .. click "Go to source" to see what the image is and attempt to find every single video game included (I assure you.. it is too many, especially with the image being sized down). For the love of all that is holy, somebody please share in the comments the full size image!

ever wonder if games such as Sonic, Mario or Mega Man used some sort of Cell Shading? And pulled it off beautifully? Well if anything, this is how they might look like. These were all created by Mikaël Aguirre, a fan of these games and they sure do look beautiful. If anything, Nintendo should consider making games with these type of graphics.
