In the OpenPandora (and other F/OSS gaming console) scenes, there is already a bit of this going on to a degree - for example, MAME and NES emulators have different rendering modes that can be configured to make the graphics less pixelated and more vector'ized, giving a new and appealing boost to the look and feel of the older games.
