This being said, Imamura&#8217;s art shines through regardless, opting for a classical blackout style which stands out against his brighter Nintendo works.<\/p>\n<p>Coming from the mind behind the iconic looks of Captain Falco, Fox McCloud and everybody&#8217;s favourite man-fairy Tingle, the manga has definitely piqued our interest. While it may not be a total substitute for more original video game work, branching out into another medium is a move that has to be respected.<\/p>\n<p>For those who want to find out more about the legendary Nintendo artist, check out the following article where we went through the highlights of his video game career.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:nintendolife.com\/nintendolife.com.ssl\/related-articles:110549 @ 2022-11-25T06:48:47+00:00 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"block object-related\"> <\/aside>\n<p><em>Who is your favourite of Imamura&#8217;s characters?
