I believe this is due to them not porting over the procedural texture effects programmed for the N64's graphics processor.  I also noticed similar changes in Ocarina of Time for the Gamecube (on the bonus disc that came with Wind Waker); the Twinrova fire/ice "splash" effects on the floor were quite different, and the nasty purple gloom stuff that haunts Kakariko and covers Bongo Bongo when he dies were replaced with just a bland brownish blob.

I loved the look of my SNES games on S-Video.  I had never seen the SNES look so pretty before.

IMO, the overall design is great.  It's sleek, it's clean, and it's very Wii.  More info is visible at a glance, so woot to that.

I think a TREMENDOUS improvement would be the addition of some faint borders to separate sections of the page.  Right now it's just some white-background stuff floating in a sea of white, and some lines would really help direct the readers' eyes.
