Next gen offers not much except for graphics

The only thing the SNES offered over the NES was better graphics/tech. It was still a great upgrade

SNES brought a new controller offering more possibilities. Also far better sounds and WAY better graphics allowing new kind of games. I'm sorry but Star Fox and Killer Instinct show how more advanced the SNES was compared to the NES. PS3 to PS4? About the same!

New controller? Still a tiny pad with buttons, just more. PS4 has a trackpad now and xbox1 has voice commands while the wii has a tablet...those should count too then. How were star fox and killer instinct better than Nes games besides their graphics? Many would even argue that the original super mario bros is better than the versions on SNES...what gives? You're touting graphics now. I would have thought you didn't care.

Yep a tiny pad with buttons... more of them, more possibilities... 

I already stated that PS4 has a trackpad and I hope they use it way more than they used that Sixaxis tilt thingy. Put features on your controllers ok but use them so we know it's not just the same controls from the gen before... PS1-PS2-PS3 and now PS4 have almost the same controller... possibilities are too close to say they offer new possibilities, except for the trackpad.

Starfox and Killer Instinct are not necessarily more fun than NES games, but they offer everything not possible on NES, be it graphics (to this extend I have to say it), sounds, controls man everything screams I'm a next gen game... now look at Infamous Second Son vs Infamous 2... they are the same game one with better graphics that is it...

I'm not saying they are bad games... I'm saying up until now, next gen don't offer much except for better graphics and it's a let down.

So essentially STarfox and K.I. are higher tech than Nes games right? Infamous: SS is higher tech than Infamous 2...same thing. You are comparing different genres of games to make a point. Star fox and K.I. only screamed "nex-gen" because their style of games weren't done on NES previously. Now, to use your type of comparison, what was the difference between Super Mario Bros (NES) and Super Mario World (SNES) besides graphics? In both games, you jumped up and down and moved from left to right. Both were also played with 2 buttons.
