SNES REMAKES
Square Enix might be updating more 16-bit classics with an HD-2D look, the hybrid 2D and 3D art style employed by games like Octopath Traveler.
According to Famitsu, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda has greenlit more HD-2D projects from the Triangle Strategy developers.
Super sprites: Live A Live, which was recently announced for Switch during a Nintendo Direct, is part of the initiative. The game has never been released in the west before, and it is being treated to the full HD-2D treatment.
