Bisse - thanks, yeah its pretty schizo right now, I'm going to do a third version in a little while that will hopefully be a little more solid.
Ptoing - I'd like it to look "wii" so that it is inviting for new/casual gamers, but I also want it to look NES (this version is actually to spec, but only uses 1 palette for background and 1 for sprites). I'm hoping to appeal to people that bought their Wii for Wii Sports and the Virtual Console, something that will look familiar to them. So far it is a balance I have not been able to strike! If I get a good library built in Flash then I would love to make more games that do NOT look Wii in the slightest.
EDIT - Actually I should clarify that I guess...I want this particular design to look like an NES game, but be evocative of the Wii's design - simple, white, gray, some neon blue here and there. Obviously to make the game look good I am going to have to bend/work around those rules, I'm just still not sure about the best way to do that yet!
