As a shenmue fan since 1999. You're an idiot. That's an uprezzed picture and Shenmue did look amazing but Shenmue had major slowdown and textures were often blurry and very low rez.


Off topic but your username (and possibly avatar) seems familiar. Are you on Shenmue Dojo by any chance?

It doesn't push anywhere close to the amount of raw polys the GCN did.

But it has better shader abilities.

The GCN was a beast, some of its games like RE4, Star Wars Rogue Squadron II/III, Star Fox Adventures, F-Zero GX, Wind Waker still look great today.

TLOZ:OOT was a port of a N64 game.  Nice try though.



Stop hating and start playing.

If we are just talking about raw specs the 3DS is, mostly, superior to the Gamecube. I don't think that means the 3DS is specifically better than the Gamecube although that is a whole different story and asks for opinions as well.



I say the 3DS is in between PS2 and Wii.

Which is what (well, in terms of pure architecture at least) the Gamecube is...

 

This is the never-ending debate >_<



Lol



I made a thread to compare the two.

..... The 3DS is on the Wii's level.

People just arent pushing the system is all.

But if developers aren't pushing it, isn't that the same thing as having a weaker sistem?
