At the very least, you have to admit that the art style (that you see in the photographs in the GB version) is much better.

Imagine if they translated that art style to the Switch version. That would have been amazing.

The original GB wasn't capable of having an artstyle.

No. The graphics in the GB version are still more appealing, but you wouldn't expect them to use those same graphics in an HD remake obviously.

They really dropped the ball.

The art style of the GB version is a lower quality/GB-ized version of LttP

The original Gameboy version didn't have photographs. That was added in to DX.

I would say when you have no other argument, call it trolling. But what's the point? We're literally talking about video games.

Yeah, you can clearly see how the GB version has better graphics.

Sorry, I was using the DX update interchangeably with the GB version. That's the version I played.

That's what I thought.

Anyway, I do prefer the older graphics style. But I'm sure that's nostalgia; I like 2D pixel graphics more in general

The graphics are clearly more advanced. I'm not saying the environments are bad, though. It's the character design that is awful, and that is what makes the game.

There is no reason why they didn't use this art style:

I mean if you were interested in actually having a discussion about the merits of low res graphic styles sure however you're clearly being very dishonest with how the graphics of the new game look while referencing a feature that has nothing to do with the game itself. It's like saying the remake has bad graphics because the original has better box art.

Using English and Japanese instead of Hylian makes them non-canon. /s

What? My argument is pretty clear

-Environment graphic preference comes down to whether you prefer 2D or 3D, but the character design is clearly better in the GB version.
-The art style in the GB version (which is seen in the pic above) is MUCH better than the art style in the Switch version. The art style in the Switch version is generic 3D environments + ugly characters.

More technically advanced...

You're seriously having an argument about semantics?

So they're better. You're comparing jpegs to 3D models.

No way. The art style of the Switch version is a huge improvement. It added even more personality to a game that was already known for it.

Super Mario World has the best graphics of any style in Mario Maker.

The point is that better graphics mean what is more appealing, not what is more technically advanced.
