Starting things two days early this month because I have a wedding to go to this weekend. It'll end next Sunday as normal, though.
If you are playing Survivor and don't have an "AKA" set, please ask an admin to set your AKA and until then place your name somewhere in your sig or custom title. Actually, this applies to anyone who doesn't have an AKA yet.
Welcome to NES Week!
Hoo boy, NES. The system Nintendo revolutionized gaming with.
Got a favorite game from the Nintendo Entertainment System? Take a character from that game, change your name and avatar.
For avatars, we will prefer sprites. You may use artwork from the time (and ONLY from the time the game was out, no current artwork), but *try* to find sprites.
For the name, it's first come first serve. If someone uses Link from LoZ and someone wants Link from Zelda II, the second person is out of luck.
As with book week, everything must be a video game first. No games based on movies/shows/comics. This means Ducktales is out, TMNT is out, etc. Games that have movies/books/comics based on them is fine. However, it does not need to be NES exclusive. It just has to be on the NES.
This thread will be used for general NES discussion.
I'm Lance from Contra. :3
brb, changing out of my FABULOUS gear and putting on some 8-bit clothing.
I don't need an AKA, my name will forever say JrDude (unless a mod decides to change it or something).
it was inevitable.
I also was going to be 8 bit kirby but I procrastinated and had other graphic art to work on so intercourse yeah mario :D
Well, Link was on the NES, & I'm not changing from my bad-ass Viking-Link Avy. So, there.

So basically you're not participating this week.

I had little nostalgia from the NES (What with being born later and all), so I just chose the character that somehow manages to sneak himself (or rather, his character design) into every Mega Man game.
My sprite's actually 32 bits. I'll fix that...eventually.
I had to improvise with the avy, but other than that, I tried my best to go obscure on this one.
On a side note, my sig is so iconic now that I don't think an AKA is necessary.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to it being temporary?

Improvise for Crystalis? Huh?

Meaning, I had to rip it from a sprite sheet because Google search has failed me.
So, I see a new post in this thread and check it out. I'm greeted with the Duck Hunt Dog laughing at my failure.

I was going to be a dick again and use an unlicensed game, but then I realized that most of them are based off a cartoon and/or movie. :<

That's up.
Call me..., Black Mage then...
Also, prepare for a swarm of NES related threads by me, later on tomorrow.
Sentence structure...so poor...
Remember, making threads based on the theme of theme week is highly recommended.

Effects don't have to be 8-bit too do they? :|
The lack of 8-Bit discussion disappoints me.

Definitely not enough NES discussion going on.
Is it too beyond our time? Should we have done SNES week?

SNES Week? Yes. And we should've had some type of warning instead of a month before so I could make a sig for myself as well.

Also, I've started playing the original metroid. And it's pretty bad ass.

When else was I supposed to tell you? Last year? These ideas only started happening a few months ago.

NO ONE IS MAKING TOPICS ABOUT THE NES.
Everyone participating in NES Week. Fix this problem.

Well you posted a topic a month before saying "It's coming soon" Then a month later you post it. Then again, I'm probably easily off on times and I procrastinate so it's really more so my fault.

...Theme week is a month to month event.
Of course I announced it a month ago, and posted the actual event this month.

Staying up till 6'
To seriously answer then sure. I'll next time remember to make my signature/avatar for it. Funny thing is I already have a signature set up for band week prior to this so go figure.
But I think the only thing we can do now to save this week is to keep on discussing. Everyone: Favorite NES game? I can't even remember mine.
