I like the concept, but I think Mario should be in a more of an action pose. Trying to find high-res pictures might be difficult. Obviously, you have your sources though.

Mole,
I've got one or two links to some great Nintendo pics and many of them are high enough resolution to work on a CP or marquee.  I will post the link for you tonight.

There are several pics of bowser along with a host of other bad guys.

Found one of them:

Check out various games and various images in the image archive.  There is also a lot of sound files if you want to use them for your front end or start up and shut down.

I used a few of these on my marquee and I'm planning on a couple more on my CPO.  Resolution was plenty big enough to give me a high detailed image.

I like it but had an idea, why not color coordinate the buttons with the art?  IE green buttons when they on on yoshi's body, white on mario's gloves ect??  So it would be a large picture with no off colored buttons to break it up?  Just an idea but like the CP either way.
