[shiv96]

But why are they so small?

[cc.RadillacVIII]

It's characters captured and rendered out from gameboy/nes/snes games etc.

They are small because the screen resolution of those game consoles are low.

I'm Confused

[cc.RadillacVIII]

As always then

It's characters from tv games, simple enough for you?

[Applejuice]

Do you have a DS? or a gameboy etc..

If you have a naruto game or something like that you have small characters. Thats a sprite.
Also you have sprites in lf2 games and such.
