Nintendo Girls Aren’t Bad, They’re Just Drawn That Way

Peach looks like young Ellen Barkin.

@dafthero: I think that was the joke... take 80's game characters, and draw them in 80's clothes in an 80's style. I'd say the artist really pulled it off.

High Speed Indeed

@High Speed Indeed: heck, i'm older than you think. if 80s art was bad at the time then it is even worse now.

@Kyattsuai: What's up with her legs? It looks like they are going right into that box.

Woo one of my tips finally got through =D

Is this before or after they save the world with the power of their awesome butt-rock?

lolomfgisuck

@dafthero: Do you not realize that these are all 80s characters?

Kids these days... Think they know it all... *shakes head*

High Speed Indeed

This is pretty amusing, even if Zelda needs a beating on general principles. Peach, on the other hand, seems to have Cameron Diaz well in hand.

Hello, Samus.

@denki: Actually, she reminds me more of Boom Boom than Jubilee.

That Princess Peach will trick you into marrying her, steal your wallet, sell your kids from a previous marriage on the black market and then burn your house down. Mario, she's no good. Stay away!

kiddoblivion

@Gaff: Truly Truly Outrageous.

good heavens, they look like a bunch of Cindy Laupers.

@Lissar: Eugh, the 80s...

I dig princess peach's scene look, as for zelda and samus well, I'd have to get to know them better :p

Demoneyejin

is it just me or does zelda look a little bit like olivia munn?

sj00

Devin Dazzle and the Neon Fever, anyone?

mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta

@BananaKid: Well i'm pretty hard right now.

†Satanyoka†

@superfrogsavestokyo: I wish I could pull off a mini skirt...I'm gonna go with a no on that one.

So very very 90's lol

@Anemone: I initially read this as "Words can hardly express how hard this makes me."

BananaKid

I don't even know who i'm looking at

Aparanoidandroi

@Anemone: Agreed. The talent is fine but the content just turns me off.

MrKlorox

If only Nintendo themselves had this sort of imagination...

@Life Between Naps: Masturbation doesn't make you bad

Unless you're a guy

@Lissar: It's an oversized hairclip.

Can't go wrong w/ 80s fashion

ashjaw

That's some pretty bad designs.

MonsterKingRen

I LOVE WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT.

@domlolz: Because a miniskirt ruins Peach's down smash? I really don't know what to tell you; it's competently drawn and colored as Dipic as mentioned, but it just doesn't click with me on so many levels. It's as if Captain Lou Albano dressed up as Mario for the cartoon show, but made the mistake of telling Cindy Lauper it would be ok to dress up as Peach.

They look like some stereotypical bad girls from a late-80's/early-90's beat-em-up, Poison would be proud!

Anyone getting a Jem vibe off this?

hyde_ist

I have to say, I quite like this! But then was a Jem girl when I was ... five or so, so it brings back a lot of memories. The only thing that bugs me is Peach's crown, doesn't really seem like it's sitting on her head but more floating somewhere above it. But otherwise it's really nice!

@Anemone: Don't care for it either really. Shame too because otherwise it's pretty well done.

these are quite bad.

brandoshido

@(Zombie) Goldwings: And somewhere else, a different otaku begins masturbating furiously.

Shigmiya64

Peach honestly looks like she's imbibed ONE too many super 'shrooms.

That bowser tattoo is pretty cool

@NKato: I kind of had the same thought. Now real Emotion is stuck in my head, and I remember a time where I actually made up my own dance moves to this song. >_< can't un-remember.

80s artist makes videogame drawing in 2009; doesn't realize his style is outdated/misplaced.

@jesterspawn:

I'd rather they at least went back another decade or two ... no-one looked good in the 80s.

Hmm ... Nintendo girls through the ages? There's an idea.

@Anemone:

Why exactly?

domlolz

For some reason they make me think of some bad Marvel Comics that were released in the mid 90's- I think it is because Samus looks a little like Jubilee (if the hair was not blonde she, or at least her jacket, would be a dead ringer).

I can only imagine what mischief the "Ninteendo Squad" (for that is exactly as bad as the name would be) would get into, and the life-affirming and anti-drug/alcohol message contained within. And they'd beat Magneto by studying hard and getting into college.

@chaos_isnt_here:


I do want Peach's mini skirt though. I wish I was artistic enough to paint some cool theme stuff on a mini.

For some reason I thought this was something of a parody of Final Fantasy X-2.

The 80's keep coming back. Hooray.

@metallicorphan:

I concur

cippycup

@Anemone: The 80's need to stay dead......in the 80's.

Samus

Rickslamu2

@drag: Everything old is new again.

Peach--is that...hair gel?

Squirrelbot3000

hahaha this is so awesome! i love it! Samus could look a bit less ugly, but still, this is great.

pandafresh

@superfrogsavestokyo: truly? that was a great one.

@M0r13id: Samus of course!

But is Peach truly, truly, truly outrageous?

@M0r13id: Samus, judging from the Metroid skull on the back of her jacket.

@(Zombie) Goldwings: Proceeds to give all related games a one star on Amazon.co.jp.

(To Samus) Oh God! Please, put your clothes back on!

@Anemone: Do you not see the Bowser tat?. Eat your heart out fat plumber.

The Bowser tattoo is quality. And honestly, who hasn't thought of Peach as a bit of bad girl?

I mean, I couldn't be the only one.

Like...she's in that castle, waiting for plumbers all the time.

Well...yknow.

OmG Peach has a tattoo of Bowser!,
I Knew it, She's been using Mario and by extention ME for Years Now!
Why Since I was 7 years old!

"I was in another Castle she'd say, I was in another Castle"
,excuses!..... LIES!.

I even I played that princess peach game on the DS for her... *sob*

They wore sexier outfits in Super Mario Strikers >.> well, Peach was the only one in it so...........

Words can hardly express how sad this makes me.

Somewhere around the world an Otaku cried, typed in his computer "my favourite girls are not pure anymore" and threatened to do all sorts of things he will never do.

peach actually looks better.

@metallicorphan: Jessica Rabbit was my first love <3

I dont fancy yours much.

coolguyface

DONOTWANT.

liammiller18

Isn't that my little Peach, Zelda and Samus?! - Zelda! Drop that joint!

Peach, Zelda, and... who's the third girl?

This all looks rather ... 80s.

drag

Omg Peach is awesome.

wazzzup16

Jessica Rabbit quote FTW!!

metallicorphan

If this were made into a cartoon, I would totally watch it.

The 80s-ness of it all makes this rock!

...

Is that a cigarette in Zelda's hand?

Bah, not as cool now...
