<p>It was a long time coming, but the three big women in the Nintendo world have finally embraced their roots.</p>
<p>In a sort of 80&#8242;s bad girl mash up, illustrator Assim Heetun brings the heroines back to a place that they haven&#8217;t been for awhile. Make sure to check out Peach&#8217;s tattoos and the art on Samus&#8217; logo. Very nice touches.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m about ready to break out the sleeveless jean jacket and Ray Bans, if only I weren&#8217;t a little terrified of the trio. I would love to see more artwork like this, perhaps sans the leg warmers. Anyone have any thoughts into why the N64 logo made an appearance?</p>
<p>Personally I&#8217;m stumped. Click over to check out the full shot.</p>
