Rock-Aozora NES-ish Sprites

I say NES-ish because unless you were to make the shades of blue Aozora's hat and jeans use the lighter blue shared by the top of his boots and jacket, you wouldn't be able to replicate this on a true NES system without eating up three of the four total three-color sprite palettes allowed on-screen (though the Game Boy Color has eight, so you could go nuts with that).

Anyways these are some sprites I wiffed up some time ago of how Aozora would look if he got the Mega Man treatment. He has the exact same abilities as Mega Man, but with the addition of free-aiming with all weapons like Bass, shooting while sliding, and horizontal climbing on stages with stuff like wire fences.

If you want to see the ideas I had for weapons...
