Which console is stronger: the 3DS or the Wii?

Hi. Suppose I had a computer with a perfectly functioning Wii and 3DS emulator, let's say they are developed to such an extent that they can emulate the original hardware based 1: 1 software. Now you can run both emulators natively on the same 4K resolution (all without stuttering and graphics problems).

And now the question: where would the graphics be better, or which console now offers better quality and size of all graphic elements. It is clear that a PS4 is better than a PS3. But if I now compared a perfectly running MK7 in 4K with an equally smooth MKWii in 4K: which would be better? Of course I'm not referring to the gameplay and fun, but only to the graphics and how extensive the games would be. Another game that could be compared graphically would be e.g. New Super Mario Bros. 2 vs. New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Can you perhaps say something about it, or would it be about the same level? After all, the Wii had a significantly larger housing and would therefore have more space for better hardware, which would outshine the graphics of the 3DS. However, you have to consider that the 3DS is a lot newer than the Wii…

So both are good but I like the Wii more the 3Ds is too expensive it costs 120-130 euro in used and you get the Wii from 60 euro on the Wii it is also more fun to play with friends and the joycons but Wii is the first choice

The Wii.

You recognized it correctly: the pictures in the Wii have a higher resolution because they usually have to deliver a large picture. In principle, enlarging a 3DS very much would be like stretching a small picture to the size of a house roof. The number of pixels does not increase, the gaps are then only filled with neighboring pixels. Start an NDS emulator and switch it to full screen, then you will notice what I mean. It can be so well resolved on the NDS, stretching the image breaks the optics.

That is not the point! And since when has the Wii had joycons? 🤦♂️

Ja

Not a bad contribution, but money is irrelevant to this question, since both software are played on the PC.

Well, that would of course be an argument for the Wii. But if you now e.g. Related to what would be more extensive and where to get the better gameplay at a higher level, which console would be better?

Ja

In terms of scope, you have to look at the game. Because you must not forget, an emulator can never perform 100% of all functions. Unless there are really sticks that, for example, allow transfers from DS to PC. Assuming this case, I would probably be with the 3DS, because I experience more variety and topicality there than with the Wii. But if you throw the switch into the room now, it will be really difficult…

The wii would have an advantage there.

OK and why?

Al

Wtf? 😂

Gr

Completely different hardware resources are required as an emulator than 3ds
