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

Ran through the old reviews with a few series, and in both generational transitions, series that were represented on the consoles in question had slightly worse reception on average than their predecessors. However, the SNES to N64 transition scored worse overall, with critical declines being most noticeable with Yoshi and Kirby.
