Maybe it's a homage to the naming scheme of another NES emulator:

That emulator was by a group calling itself "Bloodlust software". These guys released a bunch of freeware games with gory theme. This include nesticle with the bloody hand as mouse cursor. I also remember a ball game with the balls replaced with severed heads and lot of blood splatters.

Genecyst as NESticle's sister can provide better context.

My thoughts exactly. They should look to my designer earthquake brand, Fashkism, for inspiration.
