I'm impressed by the look of this game as well as the capabilities of the 3DS in general, especially for a handheld, and even more so for a Nintendo system :p

I see the tongue out so I'm guessing you were being sarcastic. Everybody knows that with the Nintendo64 and GameCube Nintendo pushed the graphical limits. I mean seriously the N64 was by far the most powerful system of its generation. The GameCube was the first console to use a PowerPC processor and with IBM and AMD help the console while not technically as powerful as X-Box it blew PS2 and DreamCast out of the water.

Some of last generations best looking games like Resident Evil4 were on the GameCube. Also don't forget the chip on the SNES that made 3D possible in the first place (Another Nintendo moment). NES was also more powerful then most of its competitors.

I'd say the Wii was the first under powered home platform from Nintendo. On the handheld side Nintendo almost always had their handhelds a generation behind, the 3DS is no different its just displayed in 3D. But its totally what is to be expected from Nintendo.
