This is IGN, a bit lol worthy but w/e. Don't forget these will be full 3D on the 3DS :P

Starfox 3DS VS Starfox 64


Resident Evil Mercenaries 3DS VS RE5



Zelda Ocarina of Time 3DS VS N64



Mario Kart 3DS VS Mario Kart Wii



MGS 3DS VS MGS3 PS2



Ridge Racer 3DS VS Ridge Racer 2 PSP



Super SFIV 3DS VS Super SFIV

Edit: One extra by me
http://dsmedia.ign.com/ds/image/article/111/1119598/dead-or-alive-dimensions-20100910063145197.jpghttp://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/677/677929/dead-or-alive-4-20051221062957271_640w.jpg

Pretty good for 3DS, considering some of these screens are very old (and pre-alpha) and 3DS is not even out yet. I thought Nintendo would push their system more like in the past, we shall see.

Ridge Racer looks like ass though. IGN article here.

I really liked what I saw from the Zelda screens. Definitely getting a 3DS. I'll cough up the dough.

Very good graphics. Especially some of the 3DS pictures sizing up to the 360 games (Street Fighter).

OOT doesn't look like it is upgraded too much. Mario Kart looks amazing though.

they should have shown links face on the OoT screens,

the difference in the character models is huuge, aswell as on other details, like the grass.

-

the graphics of the 3DS seem to be all over the place.

Developers like capcom manged to pull off some great graphics,

while ridge racer looks lacking

They rly need to fix OOT up. Everything looks like it has a self illumination shader, and isnt being affected by any light sources. I mean it still looks nice, and very colorful, but the lighting is kinda ticking me off. Other than that most other games look rly nice with the exception of ridge racer.

So many games to get when the 3DS is released, OOT 3D is a must

Resident Evil and Metal Gear look great.
I'll keep an eye on the 3DS. Bunch of $100+ things I need to buy right now. :P

You know, those comments about 3DS having the ability to produce visuals near the 360 turned out to be true, apparently. Resident Evil on the 3DS is resemblant of the 360 version. I had a big "wow" in my mind looking at those screens. Mario Kart and Ridge Racer are probably the least impressive, but they still look good.

That's really dumb that they shrink down the 360 screens to 3DS size. A 720p game has about 10x as many pixels.

MGS3 does look great and all, but Big Boss is such a hunksickle in the right image, and so boring in the left one. The textures are about the same, the model is better on 3DS since you see in the video that light reflects off his suit and such, but I still prefer the less technical but better art direction of the PS2 one.

There are new games listed, but for an easier comparison IGN chose a lot of the remakes.

I still don't see why. I learnt 3DS was more powerful than N64 but weaker than the 360... lol.

Look at Starfox more closely; the 3DS looks much better than the DS version. I'd say it falls in a gap between last and this gen. Very impressive, though. I can't wait till the price goes down so I can get my hands on one :D

:lol: look at the size of 360 pics

That was the whole point of the comments, though. That at that size screen and resolution the technical specs shouldn't equate the visual fidelity.

Windwaker is too recent, and the graphics are timeless why remake? :P My favourite Zelda game though.

wouldn't downscaling an image make it look sharper? ( obviously detail is lost, but hopefully get what i mean)

I would love a Majora's Mask remake. I remember I pre-ordered Wind Waker at Gamestop and got that bonus game disk with it (it had Oot A japaneese more difficult OoT and Majora's Mask) I ended up playing Majora's Mask more than the game I actually bought :lol:

The fact that RE:M looks even close to RE5 is amazing.

Can't wait for the 3DS, gonna pre-order it as soon as possible and be one of those weirdos who waits all night for it. I did it for the iPhone 4, I'll sure as hell do it for the 3DS. Just gotta decide... blue or black...

It would be much funner with the stylus I'd say, the aiming controls were terribad with analogs. Part of what ruined it for me.

well the 3DS's screen isn't the size of your Computer screen, so it should be fine.

Basically, if you think you can show how the 3DS version looks in comparison to the 360 one, by stretching the image file up to that size, please learn how pictures work.

well now your doing the same that TC did when he made this thread.

he Gave 1 game and advantage, Both should be viewed fairly, which means small 3DS screen and big Xbox360

I know... that's why I did it.

Trying to compare a handheld screen versus a 46 inch LCD is just ludicrous.. yet here we are, talking about how close 3DS graphics are to consoles.....

Put simply, they aren't.

Comparison is by IGN. And people might not play RE5 in 720p, could be SD and on a small screen, whilst all 3DS owners will have the same screen size. So it's not exactly the same either way.

But it says a lot when people have to make a big deal about the RE5 comparison, even though 360 version looked better in both comparisons and no one stated otherwise.

The 360 version looks better but you don't play the 3DS on your T.V. I love how people will try anything to make their argument seem right.
