[QUOTE="Brian Clark, post: 144878, member: 49"] I'm not sure if it's all that cut and dry. It has a slower clock speed, but different processors aren't always comparable. I remember hearing similar things back during the GameCube days, but ports to GCN outdid ports to PS2 when developers didn't just take the easy way out and port everything from PS2. I understand emulation is CPU heavy (and probably the main reason Pinball Arcade runs well on my PC despite it having a Geforce GT 520M video card), but I doubt Pinball Arcade is ALL CPU since parts of the game can't be done in emulation. I know M2 did tricks to get Galaxy Force II running on PS2 and 3DS, which I heard was even hard to port to SEGA Saturn due to the Y board hardware. I don't know if I agree about no one making games on a Nintendo system as good as Nintendo themselves. I would argue that Clover studio, Platinum, Treasure, M2, Capcom, Atlus, and Namco (and probably a few others) made games every bit as good as the games Nintendo puts out. Not to mention second parties like Retro and HAL. [/QUOTE]
