Imagine how bad the Wii will become. Getting owned by the 3DS... 

Seriously though simply amazing! Giving gamers everything you could ask for :D


It's been mentioned, if not here, that the 3DS uses shaders instead of the TEV. So it's more an example of developer familiarity, as Darkside Chronicles still gets almost all of these effects, along with a higher polygon count.


while i agree, is sad that wii doesnt gets a non railed shooter that looks like this and probably never will. hence, to most people, wii will remain as vastly inferior in graphics to nintendos handheld. If only Capcom had the will to do it.

That said, im not sure if DC pulls more poly count and it certainly lacks some effects.Because of memory constrains,i also doubt it could pull it properly in a non railed environment.Shaders, lighting, normal maps, all of that take a toll on memory. Apparently 3ds can handle that on a non restricted environment, while we cant argue that the 88 megs of the wii are a huge constrain.Therefore, we can asume the 3ds is handling something along 256 megs of memory to do all of this with the ease.Treyarch and HVS have commented what a painful process has been to squeeze their graphical elements and how many tricks and visual sacrifices(moreso treyarch) to work around the memory limitation.If im correct, 3ds has at least twice the amount of memory (and triple the cubes) ,allowing to overall push much much stronger visuals(as they are proving so far).
