the nintendo 3ds is far superior in terms of graphics, than the wii. capcom said in many interviews that the wii couldnt do the shaders and lighting sources that the 3ds can produce, i know square-enix has said this as well.
if u take the best graphical wii games and put them side by side to resident evil revelations,tekken 3d prime edition,doa,super street fighter 4 and kingdom hearts 3d,super mario 3d and a few others coming out soon. u begin to see just how powerful the 3ds actual is.

The 3DS is superior when it comes to shaders, but inferior in other areas, like screen resolution. 

I'm unfamiliar with the specs regarding 3DS's polygon pushing capabilities, but nearly all the games I've seen on it so far seem below the Wii in this area.Textures also seem inferior, though this is probably because they don't need to be as high res on a smaller screen; you'd think with more RAM the 3DS could outdo the Wii in textures if it needed to.

As for Mario 3D Land, it doesn't look nearly as good as Mario Galaxy 1 or 2; there's much less going on in terms of effects.

 

Also, Mario Galaxy uses EMBM, (Environment Mapped Bump Mapping) not Parallax or Normal Mapping.
