I uploaded a larger scan of it to my photobucket if anyone wants to use it as a wallpaper or something:

The image they have on the site is actually bigger than they show, and the one you have. Right click and choose 'view image' if you're in firefox, and in IE use whatever you can pick from in there that does the same. There are quite a few games obviously referanced in there, so it's nice to have some hints of what to expect. They even put a little ROB in the corner.

It looks more like you shrank it to 512x390 since the original is 1024x780.

As awesome as this image is, it was proven to just be fan art mistaken for a promotional image.
*UPDATE* Well, it looks like both Kotaku and myself were duped. Thanks to our readers, I have come to find out that this image is indeed fake…nothing more then fan-art. Still nice though!

I'm guessing its Pentarou from Yume Penguin Adventure/Antartic Adventure/Parodius!
Oh my... Parodius... in America?! The Cat-ship is in the top right corner! PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!!!
EDIT: Bah. Fan art? Damn impressive though...

Topic title should be changed since it has been discovered that this is fanart. No sense in getting anyone's hopes up since there are some pretty obscure games in there.

Why is Dr. Robotnik, the Outrun car and Alex Kidd in the picture? Down right, next to R.O.B and down left corner. Really nice pic tho :)

Why? Because among NES, SNES, N64 games, it's also going to have Genesis and TG-16. Come on, how can you not keep up with Wii news?

The thing I like about this pic is that the really obvious characters are omitted. No Mario, no Link, no Sonic, no Megaman.

I think I spotted Mega Man in the top-right corner, next to Miss. Peach.

It's fan art sadly, but it's damn cool.

I think I spotted Mega Man in the top-right corner, next to Miss. Peach.No. It's Proto Man... or someone. (I'm not a Mega Man person. But people at that link are.)
Also, look to the right of Wily at Dr. Light holding plans for the SEGA CHAN robot. Sega's version of the R.O.B. Well.. not really. But close enough.
