supergamboy | 61 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Has anyone seen this poster before? I recently purchased this poster from the artist that did the original painting for the poster. The artist told me that "It was only printed and given to 18-20 Nintendo executives as a special thank you for service in the Mid nineties." I imagine its pretty scarce, and I wonder if any others have survived. This last copy that the artist still possessed appears to be some kind of a printer proof (see the colors at the top). Any other info on it? Edited April 6, 2020 by supergamboy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaC | 104 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yes there was a framed award given for 15 years of service around 2002. I can confirm that at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm sure the painting went through a review process in the design/planning stages, this was the artist's only Nintendo illustration and their only time working with these characters haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPX | 1,369 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 @OP, definitely an iconic piece of art with all the popular Nintendo franchises back in the 90s. Just curious to the reasoning why Link/Zelda was left out, but a Killer Instinct character was included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
