After seeing the Zelda alphabet stitch on this site, I was inspired to make something similar for my 2yo daughter.
I downloaded a whole bunch of sprites from Earthbound, assembled this image in GraphicConverter and knocked down the color table to 64 colors to keep things sane:
400x magnified "preview" file:
Actual pixel-to-stitch file:
I got a great deal on some Aida cloth that hadn't been cut properly (the clerk was livid), did some trimming and taping and got started:
Figure it won't be -too- difficult, given that I've left plenty of whitespace. My wife is skeptical about whether this is really a gift for our kid and not really for myself and to be honest, I'm not so sure either.

I messed up in a few places - for example, the "Earth" and "Bound" were supposed to have been separated by only one stitch, not three. But I'm just too impatient to count stitches properly

UPDATE - finally finished the outlines and started in on some colours. They finally opened up a Michaels in my neighbourhood and though I like supporting the local fabric arts store, I also like paying 1/3 of the price for DMC thread.

Finished colouring the logo and Ness:

There are some white spots in the Ness sprite that I'm tempted to leave blank. What do you guys do?
You might be able to see where I screwed up some of the colouring in the logo - forgot to swap out another colour but lucky thing they were pretty close together and I really wasn't in the mood to pick my way back. :-9
