Is the retro look getting.....retro ?

Now i will say graphics do not make the game but over the past few years there have been many many games going for that retro pixel style.Now as a design aesthetic it can work i really liked shovel knights for example as it really looked and felt like a homage to the NES.

But for quite a few games it just seems as a way to make it cheaper to make and the fact is quite a few games do not look as good as games made in the 8 and 16 bit era. But they just do not really have there own style as such. I think it is just getting overloaded with that type of look and really i just want to see games the best they can be. If the pixel look is just purely because that is the in thing and is not a homage i see that as really downgrading i would love to see the games with hires art with awesome animation as well
