F Zero GX and Rogue Squadron both pushed the limits of the gamecube I felt. And yes, like someone else said, Rogue Squadron was a LAUNCH title. pretty impressive. You could probably throw Twilight Princess in as well. Good enough graphics to be a wii launch title

This isn't simply about which games we thought looked better or preferred. That's a matter of opinion, not technical achievement.We aren't judging the games by how much we liked them and the way their looks appealed to us.

On a technical level, Twilight Princess and F-Zero GX pushed absolutely nothing. There was a lot that could have been done graphically. Neither of them used advanced texture effects like bump mapping or normal mapping.

Even if a game looked like crap and wasn't fun to play, it could still be technically superior. Like Cursed Moutain. It used HDR lighting which was done by only a handful of games on teh Wii, but the game was horrible to actually play.

Well I certainly am beat when it comes to that kind of technical knowledge.  Carry on then.

In either case, I'm still impressed with whatever the designers did to make f-zero look the way it did.
