Within the period of about fifteen minutes, we have come across two very remarkable pieces of fan art that are so amazing, it bears repeating: these are amazing.

The first was brought to our attention in the message board by fellow board member CptTuke. This work of art is a design of Alchemist Defined and is part of what appears to be a series of high-definition mock-ups of memorable moments in gaming, complete with the HUD. Click the image to the left to see a larger version. Check out the artist's page to find a higher-res version as well as a collection of other related work!

Second is a homemade Metroid arcade cabinet which I came across over at Gizmodo. There is some high production value here, and I for one would love to have one of these sitting in my living room. The included video can describe the cabinet better than any words a humble fanboy such as myself could conceive. View it now.
