NES and SNES gens still look great. I would say it's because, by their nature, pixels tend to age better than polygons, just the aesthetic appeal is greater. Looking back at the N64 now, while I wouldn't say those games were ever BEAUTIFUL to look at (nor PS1, nor Saturn, at least the 3D polygonal ones, what once seemed impressive is not rather ugly. PS2/GC gen are better looking, and hold up better, but I'd still say that overall polygon graphics hold up far less well than sprites, especially given greater expanses of time. 30 years old sprite games on the SNES still look gorgeous. Mario 64? Not so much.
