not only have all styles shown to continue to be instantly recognizable, but also in some cases even more lively than before. too for the reason of "fitting in with the theme" but. I was initially sceptical of stuff like the SMB1 thwomps, smw bowser, etc. That one in particular is incredibly fun to use, and the sprites portray the player's actions seamlessly. Heck, if they used the old P-Balloon sprites (and often despised flight mechanics), navigating those levels would be incredibly boring-looking and tedious.

The new mechakoopa frames are adorable, the Koopaling redesigns are full of personality, Winged Boom Boom is a beautiful gremlin and the world map looks incredibly clean. The spritework they've done is pretty great, especially as the sprite artists on the team become more accustomed to it (I recall an interview a few years back where they detailed the troubles of creating 2D sprites in a company where 99% of the artists work in 3D). it's more difficult than working from scratch and is inherently less flexible and will often look worse as a result. and having tried to adjust pre-existing sprites to retrofit them into a new behaviour/sprite size myself. They would also not have been able to keep levels flexible between the 4 main styles, which, regardless how much it may have contributed to faithfulness, would've taken away a big selling point (seeing as by with how much worry the 3d world style was initially met).įrom personal experience I can definitely see the angle they come from as well - their task was to make new sprites for 30 year old games, fitting new enemy AI etc. So I'm just gonna toss "doesn't even look close" out of the window on the basis of that comment obviously being birthed from salt.Īs for faithfulness in general, if their primary goal was to stay faithful to the originals, they would have started by keeping the 5:4 screen resolution. People: "Utterly disgusting and unfaithful!" Nintendo: "We remade some SMW sprites so they're more in-line with the others!" People: "I hate SMW because it looks like it was drawn by a 5 year old" I get that different people have different tastes and all, but the wording in some of these comments is laughably petty and I think some perspective is warranted. Gosh, apologies but this kind of stuff grinds my gears.
