But we’d be lying if we said we didn’t miss the “classic” aesthetic of older Mega Man games that Mega Man 9 and 10 went with. There’s just something instantly charming about it, right?<\/p>\n
Games like Castlevania III, Super Mario World, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past hold up just fine to this day; arguably even better than their 3D counterparts, and the Mega Man franchise is no different, so we’d love to see a return to an 8- or 16-bit art style. In 2022, however, just how receptive are audiences going to be toward a new Mega Man that embraces pixel art? Especially after Capcom took the series in a significantly different direction with the eleventh iteration.<\/p>\n
Our solution? Implement an ‘HD-2D’-style aesthetic. Maintain the core identity of the original NES titles, but augment it with real-time lighting, depth, and improved textures. We reckon that would look absolutely killer<\/em>.<\/p>\n#2 – Bring Back Chiptune<\/h3>\n
