Isn't there a stage in Smash Nros for Wii U that looks like that? Pacman's stage. I just think it looks unprofessional and in a game like Smash Bros I'm paying for quality.?
I've never been a fan of flash-style art in games or 'simplistic' cell shading, either (As in any form of cell shading that is less than Borderlands or Dark Cloud 2 have). The only time I found the 'flat-base' coloring style to work was in Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2, and again, that was simplistic cell.
Oh! the one game where it works completely, I just thought of! Scribblenauts! I think because it is art-related the style works well there as it reminds me of those re-stickable latex sticker and cardboard travel doll things I used to play with as a child.
Yeah. Anything flash style just looks like poor quality to me. Except 16/32 bit like you said. Example Death Battle compared to that one parody(?) of it with Vegeta vs. Mewtwo. Death Battle just has a certain really good quality to it with a variety of good art styles.
It does seem annoying at first. But a good game makes me look over that. I prefer 16/32 bit like you also but only when the sprites are well-made and detailed. Graphics aren't everything for me but it does help me like the game more.
I don't hate all games using it, but there is a certain way its used that often takes the charm out of a game. On another note, does anyone else also kind of dislike it in cartoons?

You can see a lot of examples there, and it seems to be why modern animation is a bit 'soulless' nowadays.
The only flash cartoon series I like happens to be my fave series atm; Archer. I'll admit, though, when I saw the first episode years ago I was put off by the flash animation style and only grew to enjoy the art in the series after about the third or fourth episode - mainly because I grew used to it by then and I was already familiar with Frisky Dingo and its spin-off series.
