There are various pixel fonts for the main text from the Ace Attorney games out there (like "PW Extended", "Ace Attorney", or "pwfont"), but none of them is a truly coherent or complete recreation of all the actual letters used in the original NDS games. Igiari is there to change that! This font includes over 800 characters and features a vast array of letters with diacritics as well as a near-complete set of all original Japanese hiragana and katakana characters from the Ace Attorney series.
The font is a 1:1 rebuild based on the games and appears exactly as in-game with correct spacing. I also added the game-related Borginian font symbols as well as countless of the more common characters and some gylphs that don't show up in the games.
Please note that the European games (with German and French translations) use a slightly thinner variant of this font. I may work on a European set later, but for now, this is the most comprehensive set of Ace Attorney letters you will find on the net.
Due to the inclusion of the larger Japanese characters, the base font size and recommended setting for Igiari is 16pt and multiples of that. Use metric kerning and no additional smoothing effects for the ultimate Ace Attorney pixel experience.
The Ace Attorney games for Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS were developed and released by Capcom from 2001 onward. I picked the name of the font (Igiari) after the Japanese variant of the games' trademark "Objection!" expression. The reason I rebuilt this font is that I needed the original appearance in an indie game project of my own.

These 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.

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.

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.

Pixel font recreation based on every character that appears in the FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 game for the SNES.

A faithful, authentic, all-caps, nostalgic 8-bit font based on 1st-party Nintendo Entertainment System games, such as Duck Hunt, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Clu Clu Land, Pinball, Gyromite, Baseball, Urban Champion, and of course, as the name says in the font, Super Mario Bros.!
Featuring a grand total of 1085 glyphs! If we do glyph number translation, 1085 translates to October 1985, back when the Nintendo Entertainment System first launched in North America!

The font used in Super Mario 64 when speaking to people or reading signs. These characters are mostly derived from the game and used to recreate the font. Glyphs such as the asterisk and curly bracket are made with modified or existing characters used in-game (star instead of asterisk, curly bracket made from parenthesis, etc.)
SUPER MA(RE-)O BROS.
A bitmap typeface family that recaps the classic fonts that were used for 1985 Nintendo Entertainment System game "Super Mario Bros."
-- It's a large piece that covers a bit of everything. And two seporate typefaces will be published the following days to accompany this one seemlessly.
both more less finished as well, but changes were made in this one that requires the other two to be fixed again in order to seemlessly work together before getting published, So stay tuned!
About this fist part:
It combines not just the two (title screen and ingame regular text)fonts used for this game, but also includes dingbats related to the game, and combines it all into one single typeface!
The sample will only display correctly at exact pixel size or double the value of this due to dither gradients that otherwise not show as a solid surfaces.
Basic and Extended Latin - letters seen at title screen
Superscripts and Subscripts - regular text font (only partial alphabet, as according to the unicode standard for this block)
Miscellaneous Symbols - miscellaneous dingbats related to the game such as emoji's and blocks to make seemless ornamental features like seen ingame
Halfwidth and Fullwidth Forms - regular text font but with full suport for both uppercase & lowercase, as well as numerals and basic punctuation.
Enjoy!
