Post and talk about your favorite sprites!

I'm too lazy to actually build animated sprites, but I love most Castlevania sprites. Especially Shanoa. Also, Muramasa if that counts. Awesome looking stuff. Ah screw it, LINK'S AWAKENING.

I can't go without mentioning the wonderful sprites of the Ace Attorney series. Here are some of my favorites.

Mother 3 has great-looking sprites that simply ooze with warmth and personality. I've hit the limit for posting images in one post, but this should give you a good idea:

Fuck yes, Ultros. <3 Reminds me to get back at my bead project. >_>

And yeah, the AA games have pretty sprites too.

Can't believe I forgot about Ultros! FFVI has some of the best sprites ever.

Agreed.

I do like some Secret of Mana ones too, but I can't find any animated giffies at the moment. I'll have to search when I'm not getting ready for work.

He looks like he takes the utmost pleasure in every moment of his life. A portrait of what we should all aspire to be.

The old RBY Pokemon front sprites always give me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, and I love what I've seen of Cave Story DSiWare sprites. Simple yet so expressive. Mother 3 deserves second mention as well. When it comes to expressive sprites there are none better

Having been playing Fire Emblem again lately, I've been reminded of the super stylish battle animations from the GBA games. For the art style alone, I would call those the best-looking installments in the series.

Have some critical hit animations:

It's very satisfying to watch your promoted units doing stuff, and when paired with the sound effects it's just a thing of beauty.
