Forums - Nintendo - 3DS capable of Gamecube and Wii ports!

Mvp4eVa on 18 September 2010

its said that the 3DS is capable of surpassing the Wii in graphics, But to be able to accomplish that, it has to have the 3D feature turned off.

You can surely say the 3DS has more power than the Wii when it has the 3d feature turned off.

I wouldn't say no to an F Zero port or remake of GX. F Zero 3DX would be awesome.

This.

I'd love to see a portable version of the first Baten Kaitos. Using the cards would be so much easier with the stylus.

NES was the msot powerful of its gen

SNES was more powerful then the Genesis and Turbografx-16

Snes, N64, and Gamecube say otherwise.

Technical =/= Power. In programmesse to laymens. What the guys said was

the 3DS software architecture and api are very similar to the GC. While the 3DS can push lot's of polys and has power. This makes it "technically" possible to translate.

In the developers side(something that gamers rarely ever listen too) he's saying he wouldn't be creating the entire game ground up. The game would play and feel the same as the GC/Wii games. Where as on the DS the entire game would have to be redesigned.

Technical does not equal power and with all the easy gfx features. We can see games similar to that on the NGC and Wii. That's all these developers have been saying. We can see the same game play experience, not the same game code for code or asset for asset.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

Geist was crap. I own it. Trust me. That's not trolling, it's a fact!

 

Anyways, O-D-C, I would just like to say that the Genesis processor was faster than the Super Nintendo. That is all.

snes = like 20 years ago

n64 = disc space.cartriges anyone?

gamecube = disc space again. 1.8 gb vs 4.5 gb ps2 disc.

Wouldn't an all-new Baten Kaitos game be even better? :)

Both would be better.


Don't forget a port of BK Origins

Part of me has still never forgiven Nintendo for not localising that

Are we talking about console power or format storage?  I thought you said "power".  If so, the Wii is the ONLY time Nintendo was underpowered.  Every other time, Nintendo's console has been comparable or more powerful than the competition.
