3DS Impressions

[Garamonde]

It's totally inaccurate, but I always look at it in terms of main console progression;
the GBA was basically a hand-held SNES, the DS could do roughly Nintendo 64 graphics, so I'd assume the 3DS would be around the same space as the gamecube, graphics-wise at least.

3DS graphics are easily better than the Gamecube (full potential at least). The Resident Evil games are a good example of what the system can really crank out.

My cousin told me that it could even run Wii games decently if the graphics quality was cut down. It's pretty darn powerful. It's not your average portable.
