(contemplatively) man, the era of 2d nintendo games is probably over forever, ain't it

even the ones that are remakes of older games - samus returns, pokémon let's go - are in 3d now. i wonder when it happened

i guess mario maker kiiinda counts. but like, nintendo isn't gonna produce any new classic sprite art anymore. that makes me sad in a weird way

@kit Kirby Super Star Ultra is a newer game than that, and it's properly 2d for everything except the weird fmv cutscenes

but i suspect that's at least partly what started the ball rolling, yeah

@typhlosion yeah like. that wasn't when everything became all 3d
but that's when it started in earnest imo
cos since then, we've had like. zelda link between worlds. and the metroid 2 remake. and so forth

@kit (oh god, KSSU came out in 2008... i wanna-feel-olded myself)
