The video game war

Share

Happy Pixel Day 2022 everyone! This would be my entry for now since I fear a fatigue… Took me around 4 months or less. This is the sequel to “The True Savior of All Final Boss”, and video game day combined. Heroes facing their respective villains and bosses are aligned on a hidden horizontal position. The color palette I used for the characters in foreground is from a Snes game of the mid 90’s. The old painting palette is used for the huge characters and ships in background as if they’re far away from the foreground sprites while the lighter the outline the farther in the background. The old painting palette also used for foreground, background, and border assets. Everything was made from scratch by looking at reference I gathered from a search engine So no sprite rip and sprite edit is found. If you don’t know which character you’re not familiar of just leave a comment and I’ll let you know!


List of easter eggs you should look out for:

Where’s Waldo, Founder of Eboy Kai Verhmehr, Grandaddy of chiptune Midori, weapon icons from Gunstar Heroes on guns, Shoutout to awesome users I know of who care’s more about being in the multiverse, The father of cartridge of Fairchild Channel F Jerry Lawson and his gang from the recent Google Doodle last year, Iconoclasts shirt from Shazam 2, recent final bosses from video games of last year, Alien Hominid mothership inspired by Space Invaders Get Even, recent Indie game shmups, The infamous Tumblr ball pit, Items from Bomberman 64, The year of the rabbit Rabbid vs. The year of the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, 8-bit Luminary in style of Dragon Quest 3 for the Famicom, Infamous video game mascot promoting their CD (Johnny Turbo) based game, Brave Galaxian from Kamen Rider EX-Aid, Ready Player 1, Return to Treasure Island, Phaedra, and Timeron from Gunstar Heroes, I can go on and on listing some easter eggs so good luck to you.


Game Over. Hallowed be thy game!

I was gonna listen the characters I recognized, then realized I'd end up writing a five page essay.

Notable: gruncle stan, tank man, lemon demon, that one Kirby boss with the eye who's name I can't remember).

Also, let's be honest: Hank J Wimbleton would win, low diff

ScepterDPinoy responds:

The boss from Kirby's series you mentioned was Zero from Kirby's Dreamland 3 and 02 from Kirby 64. I do agree Hank would win this battle.

I fucking love the effort and details put into this, just wow, like just wow....

(Legit recognized like 30 ish characters in this piece without looking at the text and probably more too)

Bet Benson gonna say something like "IF WE DON'T WIN THIS VIDEO GAME WAR, YOU GUYS ARE SO FIRED!" or smth.

Wow! I don't think I'd be able to even name these many characters
