But 3D World in HD wasn't as good as Mario Galaxy in SD, Tropical Freeze wasn't as good as Retro's SD Metroid games, Xenoblade X wasn't as good as the Wii one, etc. As far as I am concerned the strength of Nintendo's hardware does not correlate linearly with the quality of their software.

This is just design choice. I think 3D World obviously is trying to cater to the 4-player NSMB crowd, that's not a flaw in the Wii U hardware. 

Comparing DKC to Metroid is obviously apples to oranges too, DKC: TF is a very, very good game. 

Have you ever played a Nintendo game and said "wow, this is good, but it'd be even better if you put in on the last generation Nintendo hardware and reduced the visual quality and scope of the game to do so!". 

I doubt it. 

I compare them cos they are the work of the same studio.

And of course not, but I have on numerous occasions played Nintendo games and thought "this isn't as good as its predecessors on older hardware".

More processing power is nice and all, but in my opinion it doesn't automatically mean better games. SNES was less than 1% as powerful as Wii U but to my mind it's the SNES that has the better library.
