When does a girl have to be cute, eh? If you want your kind of "attractive" girls go ahead and keep working on that hentai game of yours.

Sorry to say this but.. What the hell? Just because a game is old doesn't mean you can go ahead and say that it has an excuse to look ugly. NES games were, I'm go to guess 15 - 20 years ago. Yes they used what they had to make the sprites look the best they could, but that gives you no right to say "I think those sprites look ugly, but hey, they're old so they should look bad."
But on another note:
If you haven't drawn up Juni (from Knytt Stories) I would really like to see her in your style.
