Man, oh man! This one was sooooo time-consuming! I think this might have been a bigger job than the Mega Man 3 cover. I never want to try turning a low-res picture into a high-res one ever again! Also, editing out text and stuff like that and still trying to make the picture look decent is a pretty big job as well. There were many points in time where I was starting to lose confidence in myself. I almost wanted to ask someone for help, but I seem to do that too much, already. 
Anywho, despite all the bumps along the way, I'm quite proud of this cover. Also I wanna add that I will no longer be adding an ESRB rating to NES games. I'll still do it with SNES games, but not NES ones. Honestly, only one NES game ever actually had an ESRB rating (I think it was Wario's Wodds) so I don't think I have to bother. Ah, man, to think at one point there was no such thing as a rating system for games. But the rating system did end up helping in defending video games against touchy people who think that if a child enjoys kicking Koopa Troopas around, they're suddenly showing "aggressive and violent behavior" and will turn into delinquents. But also, nowadays it's more common for video games to actually not be suitable for children, so the ESRB is a good way for parents to decide what's right for their kids. Hmmm... on the other hand, grown-ups are, generally speaking, rather stupid. I can't tell you how many times I've seen an ignorant parent buy an M rated game for their ten-year-old...
Heh... how the heck did I end up on a little rant about the ESRB? That's totally not what I'm supposed to be typing about!
Anywho, yes, I'm rather proud of this cover and I feel that all the time I put into it (that felt like an eternity) definitely paid off. 
And for those that wish to use it, I shall copy and paste what I have in the Artist Comments of all my custom covers:
Just click on download to get the full size version, then print it out! It fits perfectly in a Universal Game Case (available at places like Media Shelving and The Video Store Shopper (though, unfortunately, you can only buy UGCs in bulk of 100 cases rather than individually)). Heh, also you need to do a little modding inside the case to fit NES games (though no effort is required at all to fit SNES, Genesis, or N64 games).

Mario! Sadly, I haven't had much chance to play the more retro Mario games, but I would love to. Suprised Nintendo hasn't done like Sonic Team did and make a game with the older ones on it...

In the 90's, they released "Super Mario All-Stars" (Super Mario Collection in Japan) for the Super NES (the games had enhanced graphics and sound). That collection featured SMB 1, SMB 2 (this game here, but in Japan it was known as Super Mario USA), SMB 3, and SMB: The Lost Levels (in Japan, this was actually called SMB 2). Many years later, the first SMB was released for Game Boy Color under the name "Super Mario Bros. DX" and the graphics and sound were mostly unchanged, but there were many added features and mini-games, as well as a version of "The Lost Levels" as an unlockable. And when the GBA came out, SMB 2, SMB 3, Yoshi's Island, and SMW were all released (individually and about a year or so apart each) under a line known as the "Super Mario Advance" series. The versions of SMB 2 and SMB 3 were more similar to their "All-Stars" incarnations, but with even FURTHER improvements and added features. Yoshi's Island and SMW also received added features, as well. And of course, one of the first games for the Nintendo DS was "Super Mario 64 DS", which was an improved and added features version of Super Mario 64.
So you see, Nintendo does rerelease their games from the past... it's just that they don't usually do it in collections.
Outside of "Super Mario All-Stars", some other exceptions are "Dr. Mario & Tetris" for the SNES, which was, obviously, Dr. Mario and Tetris put together (with better graphics and sound) on the SNES. Also, the Gamecube had "Nintendo Puzzle Collection", which included enhanced versions of Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookie, and Panel De Pon (which in the U.S. was originally released on the SNES as "Tetris Attack" and featured Yoshi characters and then on the N64 as "Pokémon Puzzle League" and featured Pokémon characters... dunno why the U.S. never got actual Panel De Pon characters). Sadly, "Nintendo Puzzle Collection" was never released in the U.S. A similar collection (featuring only Dr. Mario and Panel De Pon) was released for the Game Boy Advance and that one DID get released in the U.S., but Panel De Pon's characters were removed (not even replaced this time, just removed) and Panel De Pon was renamed Puzzle League.
Anywho, sorry I ranted, but my point is that Nintendo actually does do the same thing as Sega.

Wish I could find some of these games and systems...
