Metroid is mostly underground and in caves while Shantae is outdoors, so kind of hard to compare, but Metroid is on the GBA and Shantae on the DS. You'd expect it to look a lot better on the next system.

Even so, it's not even close.



Look at the background on the image to the right, and compare it to the one in Metroid. It's clear that the games are from different generations. Not only due to the details, but also because of how when she jumps from the background to the foreground, it changes the background. The background in Metroid ZM was not dynamic, but static. And I included a cave image for the sake of comparison. Check out the details on the floor of the water cave. And look at the details on the floor in Metroid. They're no more detailed than that no matter where I looked in the trailer.

You're using a screenshot from an early trailer for Metroid: Zero Mission.

From an artistic point of view I don't think Shantae is even in the same league.

I just like the look of Zero Mission a lot better.
