There were beautiful games back then too that had ZERO fucking gameplay content, just as there are now. The game's weren't BETTER, pound for pound. There was quality and there was shit, just like today. Graphcs always have been and always will be important.
All this "OLD SCHOOL IS BETTER HUR HUR BECAUSE BACK THEN THEY FOCUSED ON GAMEPLAY" talk is depressing when it's just flat out NOT TRUE. Yeesh.
That said I'm totally siding with Tony here. Graphics are important. They aren't the whole point but they aren't toss away bullshit like some of you are implying.

But, Starfox and Donkey Kong Country did not play like a piece of shit. That's a basic difference there. I mean, why is Retro such a huge mania right now that Nintendo based a console around it, if not for the fact that something is lacking in current games?
And don't bring up Yoshis Island into a gfx vs gameplay debate. Ever.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
