Why is it that some games, that were graphically groundbreaking at that time (pic related), have aged badly,
while classic 2d pixel art games haven't aged at all?

2D ages better than 3D. This is true even in animation.

I suppose it's due to the fact that these were pre rendered graphics.

As time went on, the kind of 3D graphics we see in games increased on and on, and when you look at this kind of slightly primitive 3D graphics, you feel that they are quite lacking, somewhat giving this breaking of the suspension of disbelief.

With pixel sprites, I feel that it's partially due to nostalgia. On the other hand, there's a certain charm about it, it just portrays a certain art style that simply can't be captured right with 3D graphics.

These are just my own opinions, but I'd like to hear your opinions as well anons.

I wasn't even alive in the SNES era but that game has not aged badly. You're talking out of your ass. DKC is one of the best looking games on the system.

>while classic 2d pixel art hasn't aged at all
I hope you're referring to high quality 16bit or SNK stuff. Because NES games have aged like shit other than the best like mario or mega man

samefag, DK fanboy.
8bit games look better than pre-rendered 16bit games with 3d graphics. That is a fact.

I agree with you. Classic 2d pixel art games are consistent in their presentation. Even a console later, the n64 still used this concept in mario kart with 2d sprites and it just looks wrong. Ocarina of time mostly uses full 3d graphics, except a few backgrounds. And elemenets that look kinda 2d-ish like the grass that you can cut, is implemented better into the world than in Mario Kart.

I still think the Dong Cunt Trilogy looks and plays beautifully.
