That technique you see there when pixels of two colours are laid out in a checkerboard pattern to create a new colour is called 'dithered rendering'.

It was a technique invented by Ken Williams, the CEO of Sierra Online.

The Genesis extensively used that technique. After switching to RGB on mine, it becomes really clear, because they were banking on the crappy connections to mix together the colors a lot of times.

Batman is probably the most beautiful pre-90's NES game, but in the 90's plenty of games had mastered what the console could go technically speaking.

Like, Shatterhand, Zen The Intergalactic Ninja, or Little Samson and Megaman 6 (already mentionned itt). In terms of animations Moon Crystal is pretty good, though very Pince Of Persia like.

Nintendo very rarely were (and still are) on the cutting edge of graphics and musical advancements. In the cartridge days, Nintendo was better for making new cartridge tech. It was almost always third parties that pushed hardware boundaries. A modern example, Conduit on the Wii looks on par with a PS3 and 360 game. The Need For Speed game for the Wii U is one of the best looking games released for the console, as well as the best looking version period. Third parties are important to push hardware boundaries. Without them, the Wii U will be an underpowered Mario box.

That and they no longer have the ambition to make games that really push the envelope, much less doing so for a console with an uncertain future. It did have some exclusives, which proved that the programmers were more than willing to put in the extra elbow grease, such as Rayman and Deus Ex.
