Lich is a great example of how they can follow the design, yet get it so wrong. the NES sprite looks like a badass force of evil, and the aesthetics are right -- he looks kinda shrouded, with the purple and yellow playing off each other (pardon the pic, it was the most convenient one). the new design is garish and wrong, the yellow looks like spray paint, and it feels like more Papyrus from Undertale pretending to be the Earth Fiend than anything else.
