The Ghost of RubangB on 08 March 2009
Hahaha, great screens of Tokyo Beta Down and Final Fight, so we can compare that golden "thwack!" effect on the domes of the unfortunate.
What is that bottom Wii game? That looks gorgeous.
I think that many developers think that 2D gameplay is too old and busted, so that giving us 3D graphics in a 2D game somehow "makes up for it." That's just my wacky theory though. 3D models in 2D gameplay can be really amazing, like in Donkey Kong Country, and more recently in Brawl.
But why they choose butt-ugly 3D when beautiful 2D is another option that would be less taxing on the hardware (so they could invest more effort elsewhere in the game)... I don't know. I think they think we think 2D is dumb or something.
