In a cryptic way, newer platforms make it simpler to write what you want, but harder because they don't constrain what you can have.
I.e. the retro platforms are a great technical challenge because there is a limit to the graphics, memory, gameplay etc which constrains what you can do. Newer platforms open that up so the options are near limitless, which can be daunting for someone starting out.
