You can argue that it isn't a small step all you want, but the fact remains that the graphics processor is exactly the same in the new 3DS vs 3DS. That pretty much says it all about how big of a step that actually is. Imagine and Xbox One X or a PS4 Pro, with all their upgrades, except the GPU remains the same - these machines lose a lot of their usefulness, and I'd argue - much of their appeal. Nintendo has done some nice things with the added processing power and RAM in their own offerings, but pretty much everyone else has shrugged, and released 3DS game after 3DS game that treats the new 3DS like it doesn't even exist. |
Where are the list of games get enhanced and amiibo support? SNES on 3DS are emulator, 3DS hardware can't emulated SNES games at flawless fps because the CPU is too slow. Do you know psp can emulate GBA game on paper? However, only a selected of games, for example, let emulate Kingdom Heart Chain of Memories - a 2D game only on psp. You will be very lucky if your psp can reach to the main title screen. In contrast, DS can play all GBA games no problem. Why? Because it was built backward compatible with GBA. Do you know New 3DS CPU clock at 800 MHZ, even faster than vita which was 333 MHZ, 444 MHZ if you hack. Check the list below:
