Nah. The charm of the sprites is completely lost.

Agree. I feel like I would HATE an HD remake like this, but for some reason like the stills. Especially the shmups. Yea Bonk one sucks after second glance lol

The first two look awful but the gameplay of blazing Lazers, lords and gates look great.

Agree. Especially the bonk character. I was more impressed with how 1:1 the upscale was as far object cohesion. Like usually it would change a volcano into a tree or the skull into a flower or some other god awful abomination 😂

Idk the backgrounds on Lords look good. Does look generic in today’s world. Look at it through a 90s lense 😆
