This whole thread goes around in a circle. I'm back to the undeniable fact that gameplay is more important than graphics. So what if a games has kick-ass graphics... if the game just sucks than why bother going on?

It's how 2d games were programmed that made them so fun. Because of the poor graphics quality of prior consoles, developers had to compensate for them by gameplay. When I was young everyone had a Nintendo and games that looked like horse dung now, were great looking then.

Cel-shading... I'm not sure, the only game I was unfortunate enough to play that had cel-shaded graphics was Fur Fighters...

Why am I even complaining? I should embrace evolution not whine about it. Well, I guess there is aways Street Fighter and good ol' Megaman.
