I'm not the best with understanding some of the more complicated computer terms but is the OP suggesting that the 3ds is more powerful (graphics wise) than the Wii U? If so that is really impressive! To be honest I've thought Mario Kart 7 on 3ds looked better than Mario Kart Wii for a while now. However, Ocarina of Time 3d did not look nearly as good as Twilight Princess for Wii.

The WiiU isnt the Wii.

The 3DS is stronger than the Wii yes.

I already have. Why do you say that though?



Oh nice thread. I'll definitely enjoy the conversations but I don't have anything to say about if it's one model or another.

Because they really show off the polygons & shader cores (you can use the circle pad to move the camera angle around). But so do the games I tagged to this thread for showing off the graphics.

The Mario Kart 7 puzzle seems like a fully develop Mario Kart 7 if they had had the time. I guess I shouldn't be surprise that Mario Kart 7 still looked better then Wii despite being a rush developed game for the holidays.



im missing the Vita vs 3DS spec comparison sheet here bro



What I do know is the 3DS does have a lot you can get out of it graphically if you disable the 3D.

In certain aspects, yes. I don't think the 3DS has shown that it can match up to the Wii's best in terms of poly count just yet. It likely never will. I don't even think Revelations, as beautiful as it looks, beats the Wii's best. The 3DS far exceeds the Wii's lighting ability but the 3DS's weak CPU means it likely won't ever push the polys the Wii could.

MK7 looked better than Wii to you? That's just not true at all...

Everything except lighting was better in MKWii than 7. Poly count in MKWii is a good deal higher than in MK7.
