I think I would like the right pic more if it just went full chibi like Mighty Final Fight or Mighty Gunvolt.

>>732306396
Wonderboy 3 on master system looks absolutely incredible on an RGB CRT. It's unbelievable how good the sprites are.

Outstanding game too. Everything that people claim Symphony of the Night brought to the "metroidvania" genre, was already done by Wonderboy 3 all the way back in 1989.

God Minish Cap has such good sprite work, they really must have put the whip to those artists

>>732306097
Right except for the character and enemy sprites, those are horrific
>>
>>732306097
Left has better readability and you know it.
Right is a mock-up, look great, but for it to be useable in-game it wouldn't even need to be tweaked that much. just needs to differentiate from the foreground and background more.
>>
>>732306097
Simon looks weird on the right. Too short. Arms too huge for his height.
>>
>>732306473
Left, because we all know all the weebs who said "right" are just fucking AGP gooners.

This one is somewhat tough, the backgrounds are obviously better on the right, but I don't like the characters. Especially not for Castlevania.

>>732306220
This time right is easily better.

right looks like a sex offender

>>732306097

Right's backgrounds are good, but making everyone super deformed ruins the atmosphere the original intended. I have to go with left. Doesn't matter if you're technically impressive if you missed the mark.
>>732306220
Right is better. I have no idea what the fuck is wrong with this board.
>>732306280
Left is superior in everyway. I could see a GBC dev crank that out or close enough. Pokemon has never looked good visually.

Top looks like some kind of fucking flash game even if it has "objectively" better background and sprite art. There's something soulless about it that I just cannot put my finger on.
>>
>>732307318
>>732306473
Both because the cartoony toyetic redesign leans into what they were trying to do in the original Power Modeler. Unlike OP which was a horror game chibified for some reason.

I think the DS is the only one I might give an edge to Pokemon, PH and ST feel very anemic with their character models especially compared to stuff like SM64DS
>>
>>732313405
I can never get over how fucking long they made Marco's face, dude looks like a banana, otherwise though Top all the way, Metal Slug should never leave the sprites it's still one of the greatest examples of spritework ever

Right with a bullet through your brain.

>>732313405
Bottom does look better, the character art on top looks absolutely atrocious, their skin colors are downright disgusting. Fio also actually looks attractive on bottom, she looks like a male on top.
>>
>>732316467
Why should people be killed because the art style is 16 bit? Are SNES and genesis now bad systems?

Right has better art, left has better scale.

Right, no contest but the well on the cliff looks stupid
>732306396
Top but I think they should have kept the pixel style
>732306537
Left. The graphics are better on the right, but the left captures the density of the jungle better and is more visually interesting.
>732306669
Right has more character. Left has an issue with Mar-a-lago face.
>>732306792
Probably should compare 3d models to 3d models. Tifa’s chunky poly tits are iconic.
>>732306938
Middle pieces are nice, don’t think I’d go with that style though. The one on the right is an absolute fuck up though.
>>732307253
Zelda = soul throughout. Pokémon has always been kinda shit in the graphics department.
>>732307318
I prefer the one on the right but I feel like they fucked up the perspective of the shelves and it bothers me
>>732307386
Right for sure, but that’s gonna be a pain in the ass to animate
>>732311287
Right has more character
>>732313405
Bottom captures the design of the characters well but just isn’t as cool to look at, so top is better
