I got this idea when I was looking through some of my very old sprites. I hit this: In other words, imagine that as a sprite sheet. Like MP2D fullscreen, but with the appropriate detail at that size. Anyone?

The only thing is that the arms seem a little too thin compared to the shoulders. I know the shoulders are supposed to be big, but I don't think the arms are supposed to be that thin. Maybe widen the arms a little
	Why Gameboy / Gameboy color games don't work on the DS [size0]Look at the back of a gameboy advance catridge, and look at the back of a gameboy or gameboy color cartidge. On the GBA catrige you should see two "notches" (or whatever you call them) on both sides, that aren't on the GB/GB color catridges. Now, look inside the GBA game slot on the DS, and you should see two parts sticking out, where the "notches" fit into. The GB/GB color games won't fit because they don't have the notches.

I gave it that nick-name because, so far, every Metroid side-scroller has a Samus no bigger than the nail of a thumb (Ok, SM might be considered bigger on a tv screen, but the actual sprite really isn't detailed enough.) Also, this is not a critique of my sprite, I just want to get an idea of how interesting this idea is. And here's an update: Make it with 3D models so there is alot of detail when its zoomed up like that?

Also, this is not a critique of my sprite, I just want to get an idea of how interesting this idea is. Ah. In that case, I think the idea is good. The sprites should be more detailed up close instead of stretched out.

Have full detailed 3D models (like Prime's) and turn them into a 2D spritesheet. Of course, you could make it even better by making the game 3D, but only let you move in the 8 directions like SSBM.
