I think this is the first time in my life I have ever been speechless.
Before anyone cries “OVERDRAMATIC!” please take a look at the attached gallery. Artist Orioto has recreated some iconic retro videogame scenes in glorious high-definition and … yeah … like I said:speechless.
I honestly love so many of his (or her?) pieces that I truly couldn’t decide which one to use as the header pic of this post. I selected the classic opening storm sequence fromThe Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Pastnot only because it is stunning, but, well,Link to the Pastis my favorite game of all time. What can I say? I’m a little biased. But, man, they areallincredible! Check out the one fromSuper Mario World… or the one fromStreet Fighter II… or the one fromSuper Metroid! MY GOD I CAN’T CONTROL MY HAND OVER THE CAPS LOCK!
As much as I adore retro graphics, can you imagine what it would be like toplayall of these high-definition remakes? Someone shoot me in the face because, if there is a heaven, I will be playing these games there.
Please give some much deserved love to Orioto by also checking outhis deviantART page. He deserves every bit of praise I am hoping you all heap on him in the comments.
What do you think? Which one is your favorite? Any retro games you would love to see the artist tackle next? CAPS LOCK GO!
