RARE.
Snes - DK2.
N64 - Jet Force Gemini.

CAPCOM.
GC - RE 4.

Wii and Switch.
Not sure...

On Wii, Shinen, Nintendo, Capcom and High Voltage all pushed it hard.

On Switch, I'd give it to Retro Studios and Next Level Games.

Capcom also is a strong contenter with Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 4, Monster Hunter Rise and Resident Evil 9.

I'd also throw is RE Darkside Chronicles and Monster Hunter Tri for Capcom, two of the best looking games on Wii.

Yup, it's Rare. When DK1 came out, our jaws were on the floor.

Yeah it's hard to overstate just how insane DKC looked on a CRT back in 1994, it was like if the best looking game on the market came out this year on Switch 2.
