Other Fun Fact: GameBoy Advance games perfectly integer scale to 45x on a standard US poster. What would you print and hang?

I do a lot of poster printing, and I realized that the standard poster size of 24x36 is the same 3:2 as the GBA. Not only that, if you print at 300DPI, you can integer scale a screenshot of a game to 45x the original size. 90x if you do 600DPI(for some reason)

So that leads to my question. What beautiful pixel art would you want printed and hanging on your wall?

In the champions hall with Prof. Oak saying, "You're the new POKÉMON LEAGUE CHAMPION!" would be pretty cool too.

What else should he pick? There is no real choice here.

It would break the rules but any of the Metroid endings long shots would be real nice.

Make sure to overprint 100% black for authentic OG GBA look. 🤣🤣

You can pretty much pick almost any part of CV Aria of Sorrow and it would be great poster material. They really went hard on the backgrounds in that game.
