Games just don't feel worth what they used to.

[UnknownH]

Don't forget also, now with the 3D revolution much more budget needs to be put into the graphics department, which was traditionally 1/100 (hyperbole) of the cost. Nowadays, it's practically half the budget! (unfortunately not a hyperbole...) However, with today's budget and some rare jewels of writers, I still believe they can make the most EPIC 2D old school game EVER. xD

Unless you're Nintendo. Then you say F the Graphics, let's make this game fun.
I think that's the better choice.
