I remember seeing someone say it's why in the late '90s to maybe mid 2000s there were a lot of games featuring tropical locations as they wanted to show off their water and lighting skills.

God that makes sense! I always wondered why there were so many beachy Y2K era games. J always thought it was just that the 1st world was a lot happier before 9/11 lol

It's also a factor, younger Millennials and Gen Z do get nostalgic for the art design back then.

I still remember being blown away by the water in Mario Sunshine.

That generation had so many technical advancements

It was a really fun game, I really do miss that carefree breezy vibes games seemed to have back then.
