Yeah, but as technology gets better and video game characters look more and more like real people, some of those, er, "traditional" design choices just hit the eye worse and worse. The art style dictates how close to realism a character design needs to be - you could get away with a lot more ridiculousness in that realm 20+ years ago.
The whole MK11 controversy (if it can be called that) over the female characters not looking like scantily clad barbie dolls with enormous breasts is a good example - look at the character designs for Mortal Kombat 2011 compared to the new game. The current designs look like semi-believable human beings. The 2011 designs just look...
stupid.
