That is actually a pic of Metroid Zero Mission - but yeah man, they really need to re-release Super Metroid or bring it to Virtual Console. Super Metroid really pushed the edge with sidescroller adventures - using Save Points, Maps, Equip Menu, etc.
Super Metroid is to sci-fi what Castlevania Symphony of the Night is to fantasy. Philosoma
That is why it is my #1 favourite game. It still to this day stands the test of time. I play it every so often, usually an any% speed run, around the 0:52-0:55 mark. When it comes to the VC, and yes, it is coming, I will work on my 100% and NBMB runs.
I am not hyping it, but it will do very well. Super Metroid is probably the greatest example of 2D sidescrolling action/adventure games ever made. While Symphony of the Night pulls in the greatest 2D sidescrolling action/RPG award.
I'd have to say a mix of the A and B choices. The technical side does have a big part in graphics but if the art style is boring/ugly/bland it just ruins the feel.
the graphical art style is the most important aspect of graphics to me. one thing i will say is i like the art style of gear of war in some instances. when you are in the caves i think the game look pretty good. and for the most part when you are outside is looks pretty good. but when for the very short period you are in the woods and it is raining i think the game is amazing! games like okami! are just breathtakingly beautiful. windwaker was amazing visually. i have never played something that looked so much like a warner brother cartoon. my favorite game on the ps3 so far has actually been flow. i think that games art style is stunning. what makes a good game a good game is game-play. but a good art style that lends to the game can make a good game great! for example so far i am amazed by bioshock! i cant wait to get y hands on it. and from the game play i have seen it appears that it is going to play well also. now if i get my hands on it and it controls like crap. well then the game will have great art direction but not be a good game. gameplay>story>artstyle>realistic graphics
