Giftpia's character design (while never reaching the US) was very period. a lot of PS2 games had similar aesthetics! theres something 'alt' about it i wouldnt have appreciated the first time around

obviously wind waker u heckin' idiot!! the design was very cartoony and took a lot of influence from pacific cultures, as did a lot of the era (super mario sunshine, maori tribal tattoos, lilo n stitch, etc). characters had some weird looks! snot nose kiddo. old man with exposed ribs n a gut. there was something gritty behind the bright zaniness

viewtiful joe took the design of fox kidz action cartoons (tmnt, thos shark bois, biker mice, etc) and gave it a new cel-shaded comic book look (full circle???)
thats a couple!! if u wanna kinda muse on the subject then Heck Yeah im just v stoked about the gamecube (also the gba but im focusing on the gamecube)
