Koh -Vs- Ocarina of Time

[Gors]

this is true for any launch titles, especially in the old consoles, and even more in the 2D > 3D transition. Super Mario World looks and sounds really shitty compared to newer games such as say, Yoshi's Island. The developers get to know more of their own hardware as time passes, thus newer games will make the most use of all its resources. Add-on chips also were developed in the lifetime of the consoles, which are a testament of the console mastery imo (the VRC6/7, MMC5, Super FX) in order to pull out the extra effort without abandoning the whole console.
