Does MM9 have the GameCube controller compatibility?
I would love to do this :
I think it's more hardcore than the archivements and the HD of a game.
However, Capcom already have my money for the Wiiware release.
Here's the thing, it's what the creators were going for and they nailed it
They were going for 8 bit graphics and they delivered
Now, it's possible to make all games realistic looking but not everyone tries to do it. We also don't do this in other areas.
Here's one of the most famous paintings in the world....
Art goers didn't say "well you have the ability to make someone look even better so we wont accept this as a good painting"
You always hear the video game industry want to be taken seriously as an art form. When someone tries it though they are told it just looks bad.

I'll have to disagree, it looks like crap. There's no signs of strong technique or even effort. I'm an art student and cubism and broken contour look terrible to me. Artist like Picasso and others that employ intentionaly ugly and incorrect anatomy make me cringe as someone who respects art. Colorfield art is respected and important. But do you know what? The stuff is terrible, and its artist are pretentious.
Just because someone comes up with a new way of doing things, doesn't always make it a good one.
However, this is an argument of a modern day game with intentionaly poor graphics. I'd say that the 3 given to it is as much of a nod to how it should look as the developers did a nod to old games. I can't see Inafune himself getting as riled up as you did by reading a review like this. More to the point, he'd get a kick out of it.
If a developer came out with a game that was getting scrutinized for a game that looked like a PS1 game, then went "oh well, we were going for that look", should the graphics be excused and instead be comapred to other PS1 games? The step is still backward. Just so happens that since its was done with an artistic premise, it'll be accepted by gamers, as opposed to a game that does try to have good graphics and fails.

:lol: Well you may be an "art student", but art scholars would disagree with you there. Picasso spent his earlier years studying rigourously, perfecting technique with formal training. He was seen as a prodigy for his excellent, realistic technique.
He chose to forego that realistic styIe - yet retain the technique he spent so much time perfecting - in order to better express himself and his subject. He wanted to show all sides of an object/person - and flattening out the object allowed him to show all features that would otherwise not face the viewer. He wanted to show not just the physical appearance, but the mood and significance of the subject.
Realism was too rigid to allow him to do that. But can you not see how excellent his compositions are? Can you not see how well colour is employed, how balanced the paintings are? Can you really look at Guernica and not be emotionally affected by the sheer horror that his discombobulating styIe evokes?
I suppose you also think Impressionism and Post-Impressionism looks like crap?
Crap!
Crap!
