Sidescroller wouldn't need higher poly models since they'd only make an appreciable difference in larger monitors, and even then players would be too engaged in the action to appreciate it often. But scenes with 1-3 figures and the opportunity for close-up shots really need smoother details; those boxy butts and boobs are too distracting. Increasing vertex count, even doubling it, would not greatly increase file size since there's only a handful of base models (probably fewer).
