Honestly yeah. 8-bit NES graphics were considered retro in the early 2000s. That's like considering PS3 graphics retro today.

Well, we are now at the point where the Wii is as old as the SNES was when the Wii came out, which is kind of wild given how relatively little it feels like gaming has changed since then.

Is it though? Because honestly, they are kinda ugly. 32 bit is a hard pass, but you need basically Majora's Mask HD remake levels to make 64 bit passable these days.

Yeah, there's a case for pixel art games because the aesthetic looks good on its own merit, but when you get into 3D games, the aesthetic of "retro" games was just making 3D graphics look as good as they could at the time, and there have been substantial strides made since then. Past the nostalgia factor, it doesn't have a lot of its own aesthetic merit.
