very funny when gamers complain about indie game pixel art largely not being up to this standard - like, you realise the resources and concentrated talent SNK had at this point?
good pixel are takes a lot of expertise and labour to produce and we're not all artists (and not all artists are programmers or game designers) although we can see a pretty game and make impressed noises c:

Art is arguably the most labor intensive part of making a game. It’s common to see studios that have a handful of programmers and dozens of artists. Indie games have to collapse all that into a handful of people (or even just one), and pixel art is part of what makes that possible
@scarlett
Pixel art brings its own challenges as well, and being a good pixel artist takes a lot of practice and talent, but at the end of the day a good pixel artist can make a spritesheet in a fraction of the time it takes to create a 3D model, skin it, rig it, animate it
