]]> To many, the artwork you see beside this post may just be too painful to even look at. It brings up a rush of emotions, feelings we can’t even conceive as being a reality. I mean, Mario can’t die, right?

Artist Kordian Lewandwski created a sculpture of Princess Peach holding a helpless, deceased Mario. The piece, titled “Game Over” is constructed out of polystyrene foam, and was inspired by Michelangelo’s La Pieta, a sculpture which shows Mary holding a lifeless Jesus post crucifixion.

Looks like Bowser may have finally won his battle, in art form anyway. Somewhere, Microsoft and Sony fanboys are sadly applauding this.

Nintendo has released a bunch of new character artwork for next month’s Wii adventure.  Also included is the official boxart, which is the first Wii boxart to be entirely red, instead of signature Wii white.  But don’t let me spoil the goodies, check out the gallery below.

With the upcoming release of Game Informer’s November issue, which is promised to be chocked full of Epic Mickey details, gamers are craving more information about the Warren Spector title.  A Junction Point sketch artist created the artwork above, showing Mickey face to face with an enemy Beetleworx. Mickey appears to look like his previous iterations than his more recent look.  He also looks badass.

To watch a three-minute time lapse video of the creation, you can visit Game Informer’s website.

It was a long time coming, but the three big women in the Nintendo world have finally embraced their roots.

In a sort of 80′s bad girl mash up, illustrator Assim Heetun brings the heroines back to a place that they haven’t been for awhile. Make sure to check out Peach’s tattoos and the art on Samus’ logo. Very nice touches.

I’m about ready to break out the sleeveless jean jacket and Ray Bans, if only I weren’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?

Personally I’m stumped. Click over to check out the full shot.

We’re less than three months from Sonic and the Black Knight, so you can expect more media to surface from here on out. We’ve already got the box art, and we’re getting even more official artwork today that will no doubt show up in the black and white instruction manuals. Yes!

How’s everyone feeling about this game so far? I’m pretty sure if it’s just as decent or slightly better than Secret Rings and graphics on par with where devs should be by this point in the Wii’s lifetime, I’ll be satisfied. For now.
