I believe they should try to perfectly mimic the style of Sugimori's artwork, that's already the direction the 3DS games try to go for as well as it can on the hardware, though there are flaws, like most textures not getting the colors just right, or SM breaking the custom shaders with its glow effects. The games in the future should try to go further and further to that goal as the hardware improves.
