Your belief is incorrect. The 3DS hardly matches the GC in raw power. You can compare the game easily for that.

No one even caim close to pushing the maximums on the Wii because there wasn't a single Wii game that exceeded the Rogue Squadron games achievement on the GC even though the Wii was more powerful.

It would be more accurate to place the 3DS around the power of the Xbox1 in real world performance.


I've seen enough comparison videos of the best graphics games on those systems, PLUS a multi-platform game for 3DS and Wii to confidently say that the 3DS is more capable than both the Wii and Gamecube.

I'm with lilbroex on this, 3DS games show significantly lower polygon counts and texture resolutions compared to the Gamecube and Wii. 

Yes, it can handle shaders more effectively, and on a smaller screen it doesn't matter as much, but blow up two equivalent screens to the same size and the 3DS looks jagged and muddy compared to high quality Wii and GC games.
