I have no goddamn idea what I'm supposed to be looking at in the Metroid one. I assume it's Metroid because all the others are easily identifiable.
I think I just crapped myself after seeing the Mickey & Donald World of Illusion picture!
Seriously at the very least that needs to be on the Virtual Console now!!

I love the Zelda, Sonic and World of Illusion ones. The rest just look like waterpainted screenshots... meh :)
Although the Alttp one really is stunning, when I saw the Super Metroid one I just freaked. SO GOOD.
WOW INCREDIBLE! OHH god I want a new 2d metroid like that soo bad it hurts. Great work..man..wow! How can people look at that stuff and go "meh"?
Impressive, very impressive. I love the blurry impressionistic style as well as all the neat touches, like how the door in the Metroid one looks so natural in the scene and stuff, gorgeous. my favorite is the SMW one with the giant bullet bill, due to how the perspective is formed to make it really look like it is a game scene. I love the megaman one but can't really see it in a game, it's still awesome though.
Now, these are amazing, and look beautiful, but isn't calling them "high-def remakes" a little pretentious? They're just drawings, basically. That's not how they'd look as hi-def remakes, they're just illustrations. Intensely beautiful illustrations, but they don't look anything at all like game screenshots.

The whole time I was going through the gallery I kept thinking to myself that a game dev could actually very easily make games that look like these. After all, everything would be a flat image/sprite. I want to see more games like this. Much like Braid.

@Jim:
Why couldn't they be? High def doesn't necessarily mean brown and bloom. Non-realistic shaders are all over the place and these games would look gorgeous using some of these techniques.
Nothing in this pics couldn't be done using some very high tech and a good library of non-realitic shader effects.

Good gawd.
Holy got damn toledo.
Fuck.
Those pieces are beyond words!
Can they be purchased?! I'm gonna have to get the Mario, Link and Sonic pieces printed and framed! These need to be displayed!
Yeah, Chad - When I saw The Link to the Past pic I nearly fainted with joy... I though it was a screen shot of a Nintendo HD remake! Damn, my hopes were high...
Wouldn't that be sweet?! =) Imagine?!

@Jim Sterling,
You sound like the old man neighbor yelling at the guys building the first rocket.
"What are you thinking?! That crazy contraption is never going to go anywhere! Stop dreaming big, you damn whippersnappers!"
I wonder if those guys waved at the old man as they were flying to the moon ...
Who knows what a Link to the Past high-def remake would look like until, ya' know, it actually exists?!
Think positive! TECHNOLOGY! :D

not particularly impressed.
yes i'd love to see these games, but these are just pictures. if someone takes the time to redo all the sprites in super metroid to look like the ones in the picture, then i'll be impressed.

Gotta say, I loved the Yoshi's Island one. I think that's what it would have looked like if the technology were there at the time it was released--sort of the ultimate expression of they style they were going for. I really want to play a game that looks as smooth as the best hand-drawn animation. Wario Land: Shake It! is a good example, but imagine what could be!
i just came shit i mean yeah there only IMAGES but wow...he has a picture of L on his deviant art fucking sickest shit ive seen in a while
