Yet, another mock-up, for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It's a status screen inspired from the Metroid and Megaman Zero series.

I've been working on the damn thing for weeks. It's too friggin' tedious and I could stand it any longer, so finally I wrapped it up. Honestly, I tried to keep with the NES limitations as far as the background colors and tiles.

NTSC resolution at 256 x 224 px. Everything here was done in tiles (I actually took the time to break it down to 8x8 tiles to make sure.)

@dezinfectant - Thanks. It uses just below 256 8x8 background tiles, which is probably what the NES system allows in the memory on screen... I think... I used the pattern viewer from an NES emulator called "virtuaNES" as a study reference. I also used this emulator to make the custom palette.

no probs. yeah i didn't think that was the original NES palette. seemed to smooth to be it.

also when i said a custom pallette i was thinking something like this:

@x-death - Why thank you. The colors used are from a custom NES palette.

easily the best piece in your gallery. would like to see this shaded and colored with a custom palette it would look even more awesome....possibly an idea for a future version.
