Adorable fan-made mock-up of Kid Icarus Advance

By one of the creators of Cats Outernet

We’ve seen a lot of great indie developers propose fun reinventions of classic Nintendo franchises lately. The sports-action Daisy title imagined Konjak looks amazing, as does the concept for a new Wario Land game by Snakepixel

None of those mock-ups actually move though. At least, not yet. For now we’ll have to be content with seeing this little GBA-style Kid Icarus game mock-up video in motion. It even stays true to the original Uprising, complete with running dialogue between Pit and Palutena across the bottom of the screen. This bit of fan art comes to us care of Davitsu, who also has some great low-res Smash Bros. dot art up on their tumblr

Davitsu works for Rantan Games, a company that I had never heard of until now. Some of their titles include Cats Outernet and Give me that: TURBO!. Even if they don’t turn out to be much, I feel like I am a better person just for knowing that there are videogames with those names out there in the world.
