Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax is a port of the PSP RPG/puzzle game mashup Half-Minute Hero, released on XBLA and PC. It also includes a new graphical style and an added multiplayer component.
I'm not a huge fan of either to be honest. I thought the PSP game had a great look, but those sprites just don't look quite right when they're scaled up on a TV. The new graphics are my preference, but I don't really like their art style.
I'm using the cartoon. It has a unique style to it, that I enjoy more than Retro, where I am constantly asking myself, "what the hell am I looking at?"
I guess i am in the majority when i say Retro. It feels weird to pay an homage to old JRPG styles in the Neo Cartoon look. It just doesnt look right to me.
Retro looks fine on an HDTV. That kind of blown up, super pixelated look is the game's style and exactly how it looked on PSP. Anyone who talks about how it looked fine on PSP but doesn't look good on a TV is suspect.
