While certain genres have clearly improved mechanically (hence why Goldenye isn't considered the greatest FPS of all time now), others haven't, or have merely changed rather than improved. There is no question that Final Fantasy and Sonic the Hedgehog were at their best in the 1990s. Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World are just as masterful now as they were 25 years ago. Chrono Trigger is still a masterpiece.
Maybe you can argue that Tropical Freeze is a better game than the first 2 DCK games on the SNES, but that isn't set in stone the way Half Life 2 being better than Wolfenstein 3D is.
Sometimes it's more impressive seeing how developers got around hardware limitations than seeing what they did with their fancy new toys, like how CGI in movies is often less impressive than older practical effects like miniatures.
