best games graphics for each systems.

[cahaz]

i've just bought a copy of castel of ilusion for my sms and i was so amazed by the quality of the graphics! this game push the 8-bits to the limit , somes genesis games look worse than this game!

and i was wondering what are the other games for each systems that push the system to the limits? ff9 seems to push the psx to is best. ff3 for the nes too. what about the other systems? wich game do you think use all the power of a console?

super mario world 2 is amazing for the snes too.

if you have any pictures of the games , that would be really cool too.

In my opinion, Dead Or Alive 2 really showed what the Dreamcast was capable of, graphics-wise. Ikaruga also, I believe, really pushed the system with it's arcade-perfect visuals.

On Gameboy, I'm a firm believer that Astro Boy is the undisputed graphics whore on my favorite little handheld - it's got some awesome sprite scaling and rotating that has to be putting a toll on things.

As far as the Genny goes, I do believe that Gunstar Heroes is the best looking game there - although Alien Soldier did boast "Now is the time to set the 68000 heart on fire!!" :smt043

And who can argue Metroid Prime with the Gamecube?

I think Vectorman has some pretty damn nifty gfx effects, and from what I've heard Panorama Cotton looks pretty cool too.
Some others:

-PSX: Ace Combat 3 (stunning amount of polygons)
-Saturn: Nights, Dead or Alive
-32X: DarXide
-NES: Super Mario Bros. 3, Kirby
