There is no way that the 3ds regular cant run GBA and SNES games. Not when hackers were able to get full n64 games running on PSP and that was years ago on a less powerful system. IF that is in fact the case then Ninty really dont know what the hell they have been doing these past years.

This is an interesting article which addresses the subject. I don't know about all of this tech stuff, maybe one of you knows something that guy didn't consider.

Well i would say, 3DS 2015 looks very bad......

But, if this new 3DS will make developers to continue making games because of the new features then I'll be happy.



Pocky Lover Boy!

As I said, if that is indeed the case, then Ninty really doesnt know what the hell they are doing when it comes to HW and I hate to say it, I'm getting tired of supporting a company that still cant get it together after all this time.

The article is point blank wrong. The original DS emulated snes games (in fact I played earthbound for the first time on my DS) and the DSi had a GBA emulator (albeit the GBA emulator wasn't ever fully developed to run all games at max speeds.) If the homebrew community can do it with DS hardware (which is equivalent to an N64) then Nintendo can do it spectacularly with the 3DS ( which is between the Gamecube and Wii and surpasses the Wii in some ways.)

I think Nintendo's problem with Emulation is they want all the games to run 100% accurate. So nothing is mistimed or missing. Emulators don't go for accuracy. It just gets them to work.

Well no emulator will run games 100% accurately, not even Nintendo's VC titles. But certainly 6th generation hardware can emulate 4th generation hardware at reasonable speeds with very few glitches so much so that it will be  very much accurate. The New 3DS wouldn't change the accuracy issue by just adding more ram and a faster cpu. That is an issue with programming itself, not power.

So maybe Nintendo is just being lazy to program an emulator to the 3DS. What else can it be?

That is probably the case. Either that, or they just don't feel there is a market for snes games on the 3DS, for whatever reason. However, the same problems exist with making an emulator for the new 3DS.

will they be using a faster version of the CPU they already have? or adding another one?

All Nintendo said was that it has an "improved" CPU and it is rumored that the ram is increased too. Honestly, the new 3DS is really dissapointing. The one thing that would've made it appealing was higher image quality (on 3ds XL's there is definitely much to be wanted in that area) and Nintendo didn't implement that. Instead they increase the diagonal screen size of the XL by an inch, making the DPI even worse, increase internal hardware for whatever reason, and release exclusive games to it.
