The Early Official Art of Nintendo shows a tremendously different design for Princess Peach

In the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System, the 8-bit graphics of the console left a lot of space for the interpretation of the artists. Throughout the 80s, many artists devised unique versions of Nintendo's characters, before the company established standard designs. The Japanese artist Gaku Miyao has revealed a design he created in the past that appeared in a pair of slippers with official license directed at girls. The slippers have Mario, Peach, Bowser and a couple of toads. Miyao's designs for Mario and The Toads are quite similar to those who still see today, but the interpretation of Princess Peach is a little different!

The images of the slippers can be found on the Tweet incrusted below.

According to a shared translation by a Twitter user @gosokkyumiyao received only two images as a reference material: one was the 8-bit Sprite of Peach de Super Mario Bros., while the other was his appearance in the Famicom Cover (the Appearance of Bowser in the slippers is also clearly inspired by that art). Miaao came up with him his own version based on limited art with which he had to work, and his design was approved by Nintendo. Miyao apparently "she picked up some tears" because people assumed that his work was false! In addition to sharing the original design, Miyao shared a new work of art based on the old design of him. Miyao says that this could be the current version of Peach, if the design of it had taken root.

On the Tweet then readers can see the two pieces of reference material with which Miyao had to work, as well as the new design of him.

Given the little reference material with which the artists had to work on the age of the first videogames, it is not surprising that many of the current designs are significantly different from early official art. He Capitán N: The game teacher The animated series of the 80s was forced to take a series of similar freedoms, and many of those designs now seem quite ridiculous. Comparatively, Miyao's art is quite better, but it is easy to see why some fanatics could have thought that he had no official license. The whole situation really shows how far the video games have arrived in the last 40 years!
