Not really feeling the criticism that the original art style is lost. This is probably the best example of 2d sprites becoming 3d models without losing their distinct style.

Very valid criticism about the game's look. A remake's art direction should never seek to reproduce the look of the original, but rather the FEELING it gave players.

[@cube2fox]

That would often be too difficult a goal

[@romilrh]

@@cube2fox Game developers don't take that defeatist attitude and you shouldn't either

[@JIreland1992]

You can’t really replicate that. The feelings you get from a game are often down to the circumstances of when it was played.

[@romilrh]

@@JIreland1992 Agreed, my point is that a remake should actually try in the first place and come as close as possible. This game didn't seem to do so.

[@islandboy9381]

They could have literally upscaled the original pre-rendered models and peeps still wouldn't be happy

[@magevogue]

Was around when released originally but never played it. Look forward to finally playing it the game looks fun!

[@LuxInvidious]

The graphics complaint makes little sense to me. The original game’s sprites were all digitized 3D rendered models. The Switch can run those renders in real time now. This remake is more of a HD remaster with real time 3D models based off the original games rendered sprites.
