DO YOU NOT READ WHAT I SAY
Go "read" my posts first...
The 3d comment is a bit different though. First, I need to remind you... when I got OoT it was not exactly the best looking game I'd ever seen. By fall of '99 I'd seen far nicer quality graphics on PC. So I kind of saw the whole N64 thing as not current graphics, but more as a certain look... but OoT still impressed me immensely. Oh, the walls around the zones look silly, and the textures are absurdly low in resolution, but they all blend together to form a amazingly beautiful overall look in the game, irrespective of the actual graphics quality. I just think that if you tried to improve it it'd be way, way too easy to mess up and make it worse, because that game kind of hit perfection in that category in every way it could...
And I didn't say that graphics shouldn't change! Stop reading more into what I say than I actually say! I said that for existing 2d games, SNE0S and up, I don't see much of a point unless you're fully remaking the games and not just doing a graphical facelift. That is different from what you suggest.
As for 3d, early 3d is ... very simple ... and in many cases amazingly ugly and out of date, and it makes playing those games far more painful than anything of a similar age that is 2d. By the N64 they'd improved though so that it's still tolerable, I'd say. Oh, improving graphics is always nice, but I think by the N64 we'd gotten to the point where now going back it isn't hard to play a lot of those games (until you get used to it again) like I would say it is for things like Star Fox...
