Look at the difference between Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man 9 and 10. Capcom absolutely took the lazy path, and that created and/or didn't address an apparently very large market to do it right.
Mega Man 9 is great and arguably on par or better than 2/3. Mega Man Unlimited is also pretty fantastic. I don't see either of those as being lazy.
Ultimately I liked the look of Mega Man 9 and 10. There's a big chance Mighty No. 9 will look better, due to good artists aiming for a more ambitious look, but they picked smart limitations with 9 and 10 and did great work within them. I'd much rather look at a great-looking and detailed NES game than an ugly and sparse higher-resolution 2D game (like Super Meat Boy lol), even if I consider something like Uprising to look the best.
I also don't think that Super Meat Boy's problems are limited to its look, not by a long shot, but I don't know if we're just talking visuals or what.
No, it definitely goes beyond visuals. They're just the most obvious. A retro game could match or even beat a vintage game much more easily if it were just about graphics.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Especially considering how quickly you write off and don't even play most games you're critical of.Quote:

Tain already gave counter examples to that.Quote:
