Imagine if the rest of the developers start making this excuse.

Santa Monica Studios: God of War looks like a Ps2 game now because its cooler than those ugly realistic graphics yall!

IMO: Thats just a cheap excuse for a cash grab low budget game selling at 60$. At the end of the day, Knights will defend this graphics saying that the almighty Miyamoto is right.

Thats why i dont have any hope on the NX, much less it being a graphics powerhouse. Whats the point of the console having the best specs when the lead developer of Nintendo diss "realistic" graphics aka high budget, technically impressive graphics?

All i can do is smdh like almost every single PR from Nintendo.

The quality of a game is not define by graphics, you know? I don´t pay for graphics, to say that a game is money grab because it doen´t have top notch graphics is just stupid, Super Mario Maker and Splatoon are fantastic without any fancy graphics, in fact I think Star Fox Zero is more demanding than those games, are thouse money grab games? My ass. Some people in the industry still thinks that the 80% of the budget of game shouldn´t be only for graphics, as it happens nowadays with most of the games, but gamers are the stupidest people in this planet and their priorities are fucking lame.

Graphics don't make a game, but they do affect it. As does artstyle, music, story, characters, and gameplay. A game is the sum of its parts, and if you start removing graphics, then you end up with a less immersive game. Starfox was made with a ridiculously short time frame and the graphics show it. There is no reason to excuse it with "it's made to not look realistic." No one is even expecting starfox to have ps4 level graphics, but when people commonly compare to a gamecube game (2 generations ago!) then you can tell Nintendo is trying to rush a game for the sake of a release schedule and profit.
