Video games and the Twelve Principles of Animation

Today I read this amazing article about  the Twelve Principles of Animation applied to video games animation. For the ones who don't know, the 12 principles of animation are pretty much the 10 (+2) commandments for animators.
The article talks about Darkstalkers (1994), a 2D game that followed up Street Fighter II and it's full of beautiful animated examples that perfectly display each principle and how they were be applied to drastically improve the quality of the game.
