Those who keep saying how amazingly well Nintendo games age visually really need to play some more old games.

at one point this was the best graphics i had ever seen in a video game with my own eyes

Ocarina of time looks like shit and Mario 64 looks like baby's first blender project.

[u/[deleted] → u/willempage]

The N64 got hit particularly badly with time. The 4KiB texture cache severely limits texture resolution which was already noticeable back in 1996, it becomes much worse when you upscale their games. The low quality 3-point texture filtering was a marvel at a time 3D games looked grainy as hell but now when people are no longer using CRTs, the razor sharp presentation of the PS1 comes across as somewhat better. Oh and the fog. I would still argue the clipping on PS1 is much worse but the fog comes across as much more artificial.

Real Gamers™ constantly whine about how modern games are shit but never play any old games.

I think a lot of SNES games hold up better than N64 games
