In terms of software quality, which transition did Nintendo handle better, 3D or HD?

3D for me. For one, the jump to 3D is just a bigger, more consequential leap in general. For another, Nintendo absolutely crushed the transition to 3D. Its first attempt, Super Mario 64, remains one of the best, most revolutionary games of all time.

The company’s slow output on WiiU, meanwhile, suggests the demands of HD development were something of a struggle.
