I <3 Perler beads! I often use them in projects. Apart from the 2D aspect initially, they are extremely versatile!
Also great Instructable!

The few times I've played with these beads I never knew what to make with them. Now I do!

May need to make a few of these for my Mario office! Cool idea!

Do you have a good resource for large-scale images of 8-bit sprites? I've found plenty of tiny versions, but they don't always zoom well digitally.

I use Google images usually, but photobucket and deviantart.com are also good places. On google images you can change the image sizes you are searching for to large or medium to help get better pictures. Hope this helped!
