This is far from the first recreation of the original Nintendo DS system font, but it certainly is one of the most comprehensive variants, including about 800 characters.
NDS12 features a vast array of diacritics, common foreign characters, full Japanese hiragana and katakana character sets, buttons, arrows, unique glyphs, and many, many more.
The font is a 1:1 rebuild based on various games, expanded with many characters that couldn't be found in any game.
The base font size and recommended setting for NDS12 is 10pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate handheld pixel experience.

This is a clone of SERPULOThese elegant letters appear as the original main font used in the little-known tactical SNES RPG Gemfire, or Super Royal Blood in Japan.
Ishmeria is a faithful and exact recreation of said in-game font, expanded with hundreds of diacritic variants, number variations, additional bonus characters and various dingbat symbols. And that's not everything: all Japanese hiragana and katakana characters from the original version are also included, making this one of my most extensive recreations to date.
The base font size and recommended setting for Ishmeria is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for an authentic pixel performance.
Gemfire on the SNES, known as Super Royal Blood in Japan, was developed and published by Koei in 1992.

Reconstruction of the typeface used on most video games from Konami in systems as MSX and NES - earlier games used MSX's default typeface. This typeface differs from the most known at this style (7x7) used at games like Pacman and Super Mario Bros (on truth, since 1977, at B&W coin-op machines).
Lowercase letters were done by me, never were seen at that games and probably don't match any font with lowercase letters used in games, the far as I know.
Having grown quite font of recreating video game pixel fonts, I did yet another one: the font used in the SNES classic Super Punch-Out!!
Quarlow is my most extensive font to date, featuring over 850 glyphs based on the characters appearing in the game. It comes with a whole hiragana & katakana set as well as a cyrillic base character set, countless added characters and all of the more common special characters, diacritic characters, etc.
The base font size and recommended setting for Quarlow is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate punch-out experience.
Super Punch-Out!! on the SNES was developed and released by Nintendo in 1994. I picked the name of the font (Quarlow) after one of the many quirky opponents you face in the game.

Presenting Nintendo's Excitebike (aka. Vs. Excitebike), released in 1984 for the FC, NES and Arcade, and 1988 for the FDS. This was based on Excitebike Series. This font is a part of Nintendoid 1.
This is a clone of Nintendoid 1This is a recreation of a raster font from a real Pac-Man machine with modified symbols. Currently, it has American and some European characters. This is good enough for a retro feel, useful for gaming and might be used for personal or commercial purposes. I've attempted to transform to a rounded character font. Hope you like it!
This is a clone of Namco Arcade RasterMontfauçon is a serif pixel font recreation of the original main font from the PC graphic adventure Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, also used in the sequel Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror.
The character set of Montfauçon includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants and bonus characters. Every character that doesn't pop up in the game has been designed to match the look and feel of the base characters.
I recommend to use this one with font sizes that are multiple of 17pt and avoid any font smoothing or anti aliasing methods.

This is a cloneThis beautiful font is a recreation of an original font appearing in the SNES strategy game Romance of The Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire, released as Sangokushi IV in Japan.

The character set of Sangoku4 includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants, number variations, bonus characters, unique glyphs, and also full sets of the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets from the original Japanese version of the game.

This is a cloneWWareTypeC is another recreation of one of the many stylish WarioWare: D.I.Y. pixel fonts. This recreation includes over 400 characters, among them the most common diacritic letters and several special characters.
The font is a 1:1 rebuild based on WarioWare: D.I.Y. for the Nintendo DS and appears exactly as in-game. I added countless of common characters and some gylphs that don't show up in the game or font rip.
This is only the first of several WarioWare fonts I have planned to redo. The base font size and recommended setting for WWareTypeC is 26pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate WarioWare pixel experience.

This stylish pixel font is a combined recreation of the original font appearing in the SNES brawler Kouryuu no Mimi and the font used for the inofficial English fan translation. Both fonts are very different in style, shape and measurements, but I mixed them together as there are no overlaps on any glyphs.
The character set of Kouryuu includes a vast array of additional diacritic variants (which do not appear in-game), number variations, bonus characters, unique glyphs, and also full sets of the Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabets and other Asian glyphs from the original Japanese version of the game. Every character that doesn't pop up in the game has been designed to match the look and feel of the base characters.
I recommend to use this one with font sizes that are multiple of 11pt and avoid any font smoothing or anti aliasing methods.
