Portion used

Two screenshots of a video game split in half and combined.

Low resolution?

Original resolution; further reduction in handheld resolution size would result in the gameplay aspects becoming impossible to decipher.

Purpose of use

To depict the main character of the game as he appears in the title, and the game interface. The image contrasts the black-and-white graphics of the original with the vibrant colors of the DX reissue. The image aids reader understanding by providing readers a frame of reference for critical commentary on the graphics of both versions.

Replaceable?

No free images of the copyrighted games are likely to be possible, as Nintendo has not released such an image or similar into the public domain, or allowed free use.
