Font used for Nintendo Action Series logo

Post by Dastari »

Does anyone know the font that Nintendo used to create the text on the Action Series logo?

See the following link:

My main problems are finding a font that has a "C" that narrow and an "R" that narrow that curves down so much while still having an "S" that curls as much as that one does. So far I can't find one that fits all the criteria.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is for some NES art that I'm creating with photoshop.

Or find a good scan of the SMB1 box art, and use something like Flash to vectorize the bitmap.
