factor 5 has pushed the gamecube to great limits- and that game was created in only nine months time!!!
silicon knights has the most attention to detale though- and i like that- the stained glass window thing is true- not many people are going to realize that stuff playing through that great game, but they are very nice touches- retro did a very great job with prime though- the engine they had was spectacular and the graphics and presentation were very well done- it felt exactly how a metroid game should in 3d- which is what we all wanted- hal with ssbm didnt push the gamecube as much as factor 5 or retro, but it did add in a crapload of hidden characters, stages, trophies, and other things of that nature- and it was all very well done- all those developement studios should be commended for the great games they made on the gc
