idoia Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Silly question here, I have a Wii, and some of the screenshots of the new 3DS look at least on par with those of my Nintendo Wii. (or perhaps I have some very bad AV cables) So how would you say is this thing powerful, graphics-wise? Better than a PSP/PS2 I suppose. What do you think? http://kotaku.com/55...llery/gallery/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kondrath Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 In the other screen shots, a lot of the graphics look like PS1 due to all the jagged edges and stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDX Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I can't tell yet, I guess everything shown, also the device itself should still be in Beta stages, so it might still improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teej Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 In the other screen shots, a lot of the graphics look like PS1 due to all the jagged edges and stuff... To be honest they're only running at 320x240 res, most of the time they're upscaled on the computer so jaggies are going to look rather prominent. It'll look even better on the screen itself. Anyway, I don't think it's -more- powerful, but I do think it can maintain similar visuals to say... the Gamecube. It'll surpass the Wii eventually I think (for example, I'm not sure if the 3DS could pull off Zelda Skyward Sword). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazure Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 All I must say is... THANK GOD they finally ditched the sub-n64 graphics the original DS's were stuck on. They were HIDEOUS. Maybe the next SNES Final Fantasy remake will look beautiful (FF6 with these graphics would surely be more than acceptable!). I never liked how the FF3/FF4 remakes looked on the DS, wished they were remade on the Wii instead. Now I may not have to wish that for future remakes. Then of course there's the whole 3D effect that none of us can actually see till we have the thing in our hands. I'm guessing it'll at least be somewhat nice to look at. :) OFFTOPIC: idoia, who is the girl in your sig/ava? looks good, any wallpapers etc of her?

Rudy Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I read somewhere that it's closer to GC levels in terms of gfx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I'm sure it'll look great in it's native resolution :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoredBozirini Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like PS1 games. In no way does it compare to PS2 games. boobless 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazure Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah, it's much easier for handhelds to have weaker graphics because they render in such a low resolution, high details are not as needed. However, the original DS/DSLite/DSi graphics were so pitiful even for the small resolution they had. Definitely a welcome advancement in graphics! Nintendo is finally catching up in the graphics world. Let's hope next will be a 1080p Wii system! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murkurie Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Actually 400X240 is the top screen res for each eye, total res is 800X240 for the top screen when 3d is off Graphics I think are just for the OoT remake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted June 16, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2010 They're definitely better than PS2/PSP. I'd say at least on par with GCN, not sure about Wii though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoL Veteran Posted June 17, 2010 Veteran Share Posted June 17, 2010 I don't know, I don't like the screens I've seen but I need to see this in person. I don't think it is more powerful than the Wii but no doubt they are a lot better than DS graphics. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chasethebase Reporter Posted June 21, 2010 Reporter Share Posted June 21, 2010 PKMN Black and White is the next Pokemon game. But the question is... Is there a 3DS version? I'm guessing the 3rd version will be a 3DS special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idoia Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 You guys are right about the graphics. PS1, I would even go and say SNES like graphics like Donkey Kong Country 2 --------->> totally agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-byte Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 No, it is not faster. Should be around Gamecube/Xbox in terms of technology. All I must say is... THANK GOD they finally ditched the sub-n64 graphics the original DS's were stuck on. Actually, DS have much better looking games than N64. DS is much more powerful than the N64. Especially when it comes to pushing polygons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majortom1981 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Please keep in mind a lot of the screen shots arent in native resolution. A lot of them are blown up. So of course they will be jaggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-byte Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 ^ Correct. Also the 3D will soften the edges a little as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
