What if Metal Gear Solid 4 was an NES game?

Doctored screenshots are fun. Completely faked ones are even better, as long as they’re not passed off as real.

With that, I’ll suggest you check out this compilation of faux screenshots compiled over at Infendo. In particular, I’m very fond of the shot at left. Not only does it reference somewhat the way Metal Gear looked like in its NES days (it didn’t even look this good, actually), but it sticks a nice pointy thing right in Konami’s famously terrible localization skills. Those skills have really only improved in the past five years, sadly enough.

There’s a nice shot at PS3 launch title Genji as well. The best looking shot is probably the one for Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess as it might look on the original Game Boy, though I can’t help thinking it’s too high resolution for that old fella.
