MH Wii was a repackaged PS2 game. |
MH3 was the best looking MH on console for a while.

Resolution and framerate have an impact on the level of graphics you can display. Lower resolutions and lower framerates means that you are putting less stress to the hardware and therefore you have room to use better graphics, more poligons, better and more demanding effects... But on the 3DS case this is irrelevant in most cases, because the system has to take into account a limited power suply and very limited heat generation due to its portable nature. Anyway... Monster Hunter 3: MHTri: 480p, generally better textures (rocks, vegetation...) and effects (the water is a very obvious one), locked 30fps MH3U (3DS): 240p, lower quality textures and effects, better shadows, unlocked framrate (30-45fps) So... The Wii is flexing double the resolution, overall better graphics and a stable framerate, while the 3DS runs at half the resolution, it mostly looks worse with some exceptions like shadows and it sports an erratic framerate. I don't know, it don't see the 3DS coming out on top here. Not even close. |
3DS screen is 240p only, handheld always has low resolution screen compared to console, but i'm comparing 3ds ver on 3ds screen to Wii ver on TV screen here. It wasn't better but also not worse, almost equal.

Vodacixi beat me to it as I was offline (funnily enough playing Monster Hunter) but 3 Ultimate on 3DS had cutbacks compared to Wii like worse textures and water effects as well as the lower resolution. |
But on 3ds screen, those things almost didn't exist, and definitely not "significant downgrades".
