But after playing mario kart on my 3ds relentlessly and then playing the wii version, it was clear that the wii version was graphically superior. Since mario kart is a first party title and nintendo usually makes the most of the systems capabilities, I concluded that the wii was a more powerful console, but the 3ds is very close. Cant wait for the wii u to come out. I dont think ive ever been more excited for a system than for the wii u. |
Remember the 3DS is a totally new architecture (albeit: not a totally new architecture but still new) so a learning curve has to be expected. The Wii is essentially a boosted GCN having 1.5-2x the power while having the same textures and effects.
Polygons/sec
GCN: 8-12mil
Wii: 16-18mil
3DS: 15.3mil @200Mhz
20.4mil @268Mhz
