In some ways yes, in some ways no...
Better graphics did not make Mario Sunshine better than Mario 64. Nor TWW from OoT. Or LA from LttP. And I wouldn't say that the SNES graphics in Mario Allstars actually improved those games any. F-Zero GX isn't better than F-Zero X because of graphics. It is better, unlike some games on this list, but it's because of other things like the bigger and better tracks, story mode, car creation, etc... and Warcraft III isn't better than Starcraft because it has nicer graphics... I could go on for a long time on this line... Civilization II vs Civilization III? Extreme-G 2 vs. Extreme-G 3? TIE Fighter vs X-Wing Alliance?
Yes the nicer graphics in the newer games are nice. I won't deny that, it is obvious. But do they make those games better than their precessors? No way (regardless of which side you stand on those game comparisions...)!
