I heard that the  super computers the NASA uses is powered by 3 3DS hooked together.

Pretty obvious, because the 3DS outputts over 9.000 graphics on firmware -0,5...in contrast to the Vita that can only make 50 thingamajiggs per second.

 

AND IN 3D !!!!

Yeah, that's about what I would expect from him :D

However, it should definitely be noted that the 3DS remastering goes nowhere near pushing the limits of the hardware.


Sorry wasn't trying to say that. Just that the 3DS one isn't a direct port of the N64 one incase people started thinking 3DS was only running games with visuals from 1998.

Starfox 64 3D also had a similarly large visual upgrade.

oh yeah I know this, I have both of them and have 100%'d the starfox3d remake on all 3 difficulties, the new temple of time in the 3ds ocarina I would say is the biggest changed area that I encounted while playing it, going from a single grey room to an actual Temple.

I'm just saying you can pretty it up, but it's still running on the framework of a game made before the game he is comparing it to. Say if you put OoT3d next to resi evil revalations scenes with lighting affecting the shadows cast inside the ship during the rain storms... like that is on another lvl of graphics imo.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I'll do a proper comparison thread later.



Love and tolerate.

3ds is on par with Gamecube just with modern shaders. It can do many of the same particle effects and even updated ones. It has slightly more polys and that is with full lighting and textures and such. Gamecube was also capable of 3D. In fact Luigi's Mansion supported it. Just the device to use it with was never released as Nintendo found it too expensive to sell and make.



..... The 3DS is on the Wii's level.

People just arent pushing the system is all.

My first thought upon seeing the title as well.

Though we probably shouldn't encourage it.

As a shenmue fan since 1999. You're an idiot. That's an uprezzed picture and Shenmue did look amazing but Shenmue had major slowdown and textures were often blurry and very low rez.

Yeah. I don't want to bad-mouth him, but he tends to be a bit...overzealous at times :D
