Hey everyone!
It's finally time! Thank you guys for making this group what it is, for submitting all your wonderful artworks and accepting my invitations and for joining by yourselves!
I have said it from the start, once we reach 100 members I will hold the Gamer's NESt's very first contest. So let's get rolling!
Keep in mind that this is a members celebration contest and therefor you need to be a member in order to enter. If you are not a member then have no fear, simply join us and you'll be able to enter.
presents!
CONTEST THEME: Now you're playing with power!
These contests will always be about this group's main focus: the NES. For our first contest ever the topic will be NES characters playing their own games.
So what does this mean for the entries?
The character can be playing any game he is in as long as it is on the NES! You can have mario play Dr. Mario but I do not want to see Mario play Mario 64! NES games only!
This also means I will disqualify those who draw the Wii saying the character is playing the Virtual console or playing roms on the pc. ONLY the original NES and the Top Loader will be accepted!
Be creative, how many people will use Mario or Link? Try digging a bit deeper than the usual iconic heroes.
NTSC, PAL and FAMICOM characters are all allowed!
When I say 'playing their own games' I mean on a tv with the console in front of them and not simply 'playing soccer' or something like that while being in their respective universes.
Keep it clean, no gore and no sexual things, no furries nor yoai like stated in the group's rules.
Means allowed
Digital and Traditionnal art
Self made crafts such as figurines and dioramas
Pixel Art
No written works or poetry!
Deadline is August 31st
deadline exstension might be given when asked for with a valid reason

The NES games offered to pick from for this contest:
Ducktales 1 (Cartridge only)
The legend of Prince Valiant (PAL ONLY release / Cartridge only)
Isolated Warrior (Cartridge only)
The wonderful 'Ducktales 1'! It's not in my top 10 favourite NES games but it definitely IS one of the best ones out there. Less good than the more rare Ducktales 2 but in my opinion the superior game.
A PAL only game, it was only released here in Europe and would be a great addition for the real collectors out there. 'The legend of Prince Valiant' is a great side scrolling game. It follows the first season of the cartoon show about an exiled knight's quest to become a knight of the Round Table.
A nice little oddity. 'Isolated Warrior' is an isometric point of view rail gun shooter where you play as a dude running instead of the standard spaceship stuff. It's hard as hell and a nice way to get angry when you need to. XD
I live in Europe, these games from the list are PAL ONLY games, you can only play them if you live in Europe, have the model 2 (Toploader) or if you have a converter! They are all tested and obviously work perfectly.I'll try my best for future contests to get my hands on some NTSC carts as well.

Yes, we're still playing with power!
Hey everyone! :#1:
I'm really sorry for this massive inactivity these past... two years? Damn, that's longer than I would have liked for sure.
I still have many ideas for digital art, and this group WILL NEVER be a dead group! Unfortunately a couple of months ago my life got kinda torn to shreds. It's okay, I seriously came out much better. I'm honestly happy. But my current situation is kinda tight, I don't have a new laptop yet, let alone a new tablet. So art on my side is kinda dead for the time being.
I won't let this group die though! I love you guys way too much, and I'm having too much fun here always! And I love talking about NES g
What NES games 'HD Remakes' would YOU love to see?
Hey everyone! :#1:
This last gaming generation has been more so about Remakes and Remasters than any other gen before. The Playstation 4 and Xbox 1 received so many Remasters from games that haven't even been out yet for a year that it's almost becoming a disgrace. It makes you forget that remakes can actually be a GREAT thing! And many great remakes have already come to pass. More so than you would probably think even!
In light of this I made a Youtube video where I talk about some of my favourite remakes done in the past few years and I also about remakes I would still love to see. You would be surprised at how many NES games are actually
Final Fantasy is FINALLY represented in Smash Bros
Megaman, Pac Man, Mario, ROB, Duck Hunt Duo, DK, Pit, Little Mac, Link, Kirby and so many more still, so many retro NES heroes have gotten their rightful place to defend their honour in Smash. I love it how Nintendo still sees the value in their old franchises. NES REMIX, Hyrule Warriors, Nintendo Land, Super Mario Maker, Smash and more, so many games are still loyal to us old school gamers who grew up with or simply love the NES so much!
Final Fantasy started out on the NES, Nintendo and Square haven't always seen eye to eye in the past few generations but none the less, I always remembered the old days, I have always wanted Final Fantasy t
Retro Icon Commissions OPEN!
Hey Everyone,
The (Pixel) Artist ValaSedai (https://www.deviantart.com/valasedai) has opened up her commissions. Usually I would not share such journals in this group but she is actually the person who designed our (to quote her own words) 'now out of date' group icon which I still love so damn much!
She has already done retro gaming pixel art before so if any of you were thinking about changing your avatar or in need of a new group icon go check out her work!
