3ds power.

CPU: 2 x 266MHz ARM 11
GPU: PICA 200 133MHz GPU by DMP
RAM: 64MB
Video RAM: 4MB
Storage: 1.5GB Flash-based


Gamecube power

CPU: 485 M Hz IBM "Gekko" Power PC CPU based on 750CXe and 750FX
GPU: 162 M Hz ATI "Flipper" GPU
RAM: 43 MB total non-unified RAM
Video RAM: 3MB
Storage: 1.5 GB Optical

As you can see in every aspect the 3DS outpowers the cube.

Dispite the fact that the cubes processor has twice the power of one of the cores in the 3DS, this does not mater, a multi-core is inherently better due to multitasking capability.

The GPU on the cube runs a bit faster, but once agian the multiple cores of the 3ds are going to lower the hardware load, and kinda mitigate this.

also while they store the same amount, flash based storage has a higher transfer rate.

There is not a single hardware catagory the cube wins in.

Sorry about the late reply.

Would you say the 3DS is closer to a Wii then?

The one thing the Cube has is a much bigger screen, something that tends to be important for SSB. Namely due to the fact the camera shows more of the course to see all fighters at once.

...Also why I think I'm going to pick up the 3DS XL for Smash.

Not really, the Wii U is closer to the Wii hardware wise then the 3DS is, but thats mostly because Nintendo did not improve the hardware much for some reason, and they boosted it in the strangest places.

The 3DS really only beats the cube by a small margin, to compare it to computer shoping, both the 3DS and the Gamecube are going to be the same tier of product, the 3DS is just the better one in that tier.

Assist Trophy idea: Alph, Brittany, and Charlie. What would they do? No idea. But it's a way to get more Pikmin characters in the game, and why not have all three of them at once?

So can someone tell me if the 3DS version of the new game has been stated to have a smaller roster than the Wii U one?

I imagine it will, but I'm not sure.

I believe it's been stated that the rosters will remain the same, though there has been quite a bit of concern over how much the 3DS can handle.

No, same roster. Which may effect the size of the roster in general, due to 3DS memory limitations.

Considering the amount of content in Kid Icarus: Uprising, I'm not too worried about the size of the roster.

Considering that both Olimar and Zelda, two of the more resource-intensive characters, have been confirmed already for both versions, I'm not too concerned.

I sure said that!

Well, no matter how well one can push the 3DS for content and roster size, it's still probably going to be less than you'd get by similarly pushing the limits of a Wii U disc.

Didn't Sakurai say he was going for quality over quantity this time?

The 3ds outpowers the gamecube.

I would not worry about content, especily since it is easy to fit more into less space with more time.

Rosters only hve to worry about hardisk space, something that can be compressed any way.

I think that's the main reason behind worries. Not tha we won't get a good roster, but that we will get a smaller roster than the Wii U could do on its own.

Not really.

Roster size is not affected by rig power.

It is affected by storage space, and you can fit half of starwars knights of the old rewplic in the storage space of the 3ds.

Or command and and conquer red alert, plus all 4 of its expansion packs, AND windows 95 with room left over. (knows this because her first laptop had a hardrive with the exact capacity of a 3ds chip)

Sakurai has explicitly stated that yes, the Wii U's roster might not be as large as it could have been had there been no 3DS version.

My guess is it mostly will mean the stages on the 3DS will mostly be somewhat less complicated.

I sure said that!

#32300: Jan 12th 2014 at 5:11:44 PM

Once again, storage space not power though.

Wii U holds 25GB.

3ds holds. 1.5gb

Wii holds 4.7gb

Gamecube 1.5gb

Its really not that much.

[up] That is more what it means, not roster size.
