So wait are these pictures taken via LCD or CRT? i still think GBA games look fantastic on LCD especially the ds lite and later GBA SP model.

The nutkins are so funky and cute lol just be mindful of the less silly "skull eaters"

Yeah ;; We learned that lesson earlier

I fell like pixel art peaked either with the GBA or PSX.

There was an old RPG that had squirrel enemies named "Nut Biter," and I can't remember what game it was.

...but this guy sure reminded me of it.

I don't think I'll ever understand why people hold the FF Advance titles in such high regard, but goddamn those sprites look nice on an LCD grid like that.

Those GBA versions are so good. They’re the real “pixel remasters.”

my SP is still my favorite handheld.

So cute to see the dots of the screen up close like that!

And the evolution in monster sprites from IV to V to VI is absolutely ridiculous! Square's artists got so sophisticated in their technique in such a short space of time.

Part of the reason? V and VI were the first games where Tetsuya Nomura is credited as a monster designer!
