What Games Do You Think Have The Best Pixel Art?

on: December 28, 2016, 01:17:55 am
I'm trying to compile a list of games with outstanding pixel art, and was curious about what the pixelation community thought of which games are honorable mentions in this list.

So.. what games do you think have "amazing", "creative", "elegant", or what-have-you pixel art?

I'll personally add Fez to the list. I know the game is "technically" 3D, but Phil Fish (game dev) actually created the 2D pixel art that was later texture wrapped to the 3D voxel objects similar to how Minecraft blocks work. I'm counting Fez because of it's intention be/look 2D, despite being in a 3D world, and because of the insane creativity that Phil Fish used when creating the game.

Mystery Meat got it; Metal Slug. Late 90s SNK NeoGeo games was the peak.
Also Sogna's Viper series if you like hentai games, hehe.

I've always been a fan of the art in Street Fighter 3 - Third Strike

Albion was no Amiga game, though ;) Ambermoon had very nice graphics, though. Especially the monster animations.
