Regular readers know that we love the pixelated look of old-school video games here at Joystick Division. But all those square pixels and rough edges can be a little harsh on the eyes after a while. So we're glad that flickr user soundofdesign has given our eyes a break with his "cartooned" collections of pleasantly rounded classic game characters.

It's hard to decide which of the Mario, Mega Man, Legend of Zelda and Street Fighter sets posted so far are the cutest, but we have a sweet spot for the Street Fighter images. Those tiny grins are so sweet and optimistic, we might have to think twice the next time we feel like punching them repeatedly until they're dead.

Check out some of our favorites after the break.
