Nintendo World CHIPionship 1992
The legendary Nintendo World Championships that took place in 1990, despite having taken place over 30 years ago, still lingers in the minds of players as an iconic point in video game history. But, just for a moment, allow me to take you back to a contest they didn't want you to know about, just 2 years after. It was in this brief window that three consoles and a game coexisted in relevance, making up the four great Nintendo music formats. It is with these four sound systems that a new battle began, to see who would become 1992's greatest Nintendo Chip Champion... this is that battle.
Formats:
Nintendo:
-nsf
-gameboy
-spc
-mariopaint
-pixel (either limited to graphics restrictions of above consoles, or themed like advertisements for the event)
Voting Categories:
-playing with power
-playing it loud
-changing the system
-getting into it
-nintendo power in pants
----------------------------------------------------
My main goal with this idea was to have one of each kind of the Nintendo-based formats present, and when I thought about it, they all were relevant in some way around the same time at one point (when Mario Paint came out in July of 1992, Famicom games from Nintendo were still coming out, like Fire Emblem Gaiden just a few months before in March, so it was still somewhat relevant next to it's younger siblings Gameboy and SFC). I can't say I expect all 4 music categories to get even amounts of entries, so I wouldn't theme it in such a way as the formats vying for dominance over one another or anything. I also didn't want to add extensions of these formats, since then there'd be like 5 formats for NES and 2 for mario paint stuff, but still only 1 each for SNES and Gameboy.
And yes I made the image in MSPaint and Paint3D. You may laugh.

I really like this battle art, it's cute
I'm not sure though if chip_battleart is an allowed format for these? Since you already created the cover for the battle here. You could maybe change it to pixel or visuall though

@Prestune, that’s actually a good point, I hadn’t considered that haha. Plus it probably makes more sense to add a restriction to pixel rather than chip_battleart (at least I think, this isn’t my realm of experience hahaha). I’ll update it to pixel for now.

i like this! a nicely themed variant on the old nintendo trilogy battle... lots of potential for variation too
for what it's worth a chipbattleart format might be cool for a battle of this size (i.e. smallish multiformat), unless you are particularly attached to your cover art. i ended up doing a battle art format for the YEA VIDEOGAME major even though it was my submission to future battles 2.

@damifortune, honestly I am fine with it being either way, I liked the idea I had for the cover art but I am far from an artist and thus threw it together rather hastily and with lower quality than it should be. I assume that whatever I write here isn't set in concrete for whenever this happens (assuming it even does) and things can be discussed and slightly tweaked as makes logical sense. As it stands I'm fine with having both pixel and chip_battleart, and I might honestly split the restrictions between the two, having pixel be for art in the style/restrictions of the console and chip_battleart be advertisements/logos for the event and such.
