Graphic comparison: DS games on a 3DS

What graphical differences do the Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL and Nintendo 3DS have, while playing original DS games on the system?

While the DSi XL loses graphical quality, the Nintendo 3DS uses softeners to adapt to the resolution. View the full HD video as a comparison:

Use the Full-HD option for best results.

1 year from now - "Nintendo is proud to announce the Nintendo 3DS XL"

norman295552d ago

whoa getting ahead of yourself there mate, its the 3DS Lite first, then the 3DSi.

portablegaming5553d ago

The softner effects are a good thing, hence to the fact that the 3DS has a superior resolution in contrast to the traditional DS's.

Sorano5553d ago

Is the effect that big? Does it look better or worse with the softners?

franktheprankreturns5553d ago

it looks worse because the bottom screen of the 3ds is smaller than usual so it is squashed together

Miroque5553d ago

Well it looks different, not really better or worse.

Daverball5553d ago

I very much agree with Miroque, it's just different not worse or better, in the end it's a matter of personal preference.

AlanarWindblade5553d ago

Well, it is just a very slight effect in my opinion.

MGRogue20175553d ago (Edited 5553d ago )

Is it just me or does the frame rate on the 3DS seem to be alot lower than the other two..?

Also, the 3DS looks the most ugliest as well..

overall, DSi seems to be the most smoothest & best looking.. And I own that one, cool :)

Miroque5553d ago

DSi looks the best. I think so, too. But why is the embedded video gone now? I put it in the news?

Trroy5553d ago (Edited 5553d ago )

Yeah the 3DS is definitely slower. He starts it 2nd, yet the DSi XL, which he started 3rd, beats it to the title screen by several seconds, and then the framerate appears choppy on the 3DS as well.

It may be running an emulator, rather than native code, due to some minor architectural differences between the processors, or the fact that the 3DS supposedly devotes one of its cores completely to OS/background tasks, like StreetPass (amongst many other things), whereas the DSi's 2nd CPU was free to run some game code.

The moral of the story is... if you want to play older DS games, you should probably buy a DSi.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS54d ago (Edited 54d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi79d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer80d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot80d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno80d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay80d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno78d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK79d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
