To be honest, it’s not really any special trick or anything, it’s just really good art directing on the Nintendo projects. There’s a lot of special attention that goes into style guides, color palettes, and hand made art for those games. I have colleagues that work for Nintendo and they’re amazing artists; they are very picky about hiring and only hire artists that can meet their distinct art styles.
I think sometimes when you’re on the outside it’s easy to get into a train of thought where you’re trying to figure out “the secret sauce”, but there really isn’t- it’s just really talented folks under really skilled art direction, doing what they do best.

I understand what do you mean. We are a new and a small company and Most of our learning comes from different sources on Internet. That is why we are exposing our work from the point of view of “we dont know”.
So i believe that the secret sauce is simply to analize games and ask to the experts. In this case you guys!
In this single thread we have learned a lot like that you can cook lighting in textures, srgb and more.
My point is when you say “this looks bad to my eyes.you should work most in …” that help us a lot and we are grateful for it!
