If she doesn't mind a few drawbacks with them, sure.
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.

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.

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.
"It's so hard to be humble, knowing how great I am."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.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyConsidering the amount of content in Kid Icarus: Uprising, I'm not too worried about the size of the roster.
🏳️⚧️she/her | Vio Rhyse AlberiaNot 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)

Charmeleon is just sitting in the corner with a "forever alone" look on his face.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.
