How does the 3DS compare to the PSP, power wise?

Also remember that game makers get better with time. Compare launch PSP games with launch 3DS games and you'll see the large improvement.

If only people would remember this when talking about the Wii U, haha.

Oh I know. In only a few years its games will look way better than anything on PS360.

That's a good thing. It will look more comparable to the nexbox and ps4 when they release.....The Wii received a beating by people over its no hd capabilities and the WiiU is being trashed on this site already. I can't wait till e3,hopefully Ninty will have something to shut them up.

 

Retro's game should be very impressive visually, im hoping its either a huge open world western RPG or a new Metroid

Considering how beautiful Metroid Prime 3 and Donkey Kong Country Returns were despite running on 88MB of RAM and a fixed function GPU, Retro should be able to blow minds with a programmable GPU and 1GB of RAM. At least I hope so, I'm afraid of getting my hopes up for anything on the Wii U front these days; knowing my luck they'l be working on Mario Kart U or something else that's graphically modest.

On topic, I don't think the 3DS is up to the Gamecube graphically; it has newer shader tech, but textures and polygon counts seem far below GC levels.

Yeah, I'd say worse than GC powerwise but better than PS2. 3DS has some "techniques" to make games look better than a GC game though.
