Nintendo 3DS may look the same, but it packs power

The Nintendo 3DS may look almost the same as the current Nintnedo DS Lite, but the processor inside packs a punch. Tony Marinello, a game programmer currently working on Madden said

"“It’s a pretty powerful handheld. The graphical processing unit on it is really sweet. You’ll notice we’ve got some rim lighting effects, for example, and environment maps on the helmets. Plus we’re using a lot of the assets from the ‘next-gen’ versions of the game.”


Also, the Nintendo 3DS cards can hold up to 8 GB's of space. Wind waker was about 1.2, so it you think about it, you could put a pretty big game onto the Nintendo 3DS. More then a normal DVD can hold. That's pretty impressive.  

Expect some pretty awesome graphics from the 3DS
