After recently playing Power Smash 3 (aka Virtua Tennis 3) at the
arcades, I just wanted to share some comments. It seems that the
graphics have been improved but almost barely noticeable. In fact, I'm
a bit surprised that it runs on sega's new Lindberg hardware according
to system 16. This for me is a bit of a let down specially considering
how Virtua Fighter 5 is shaping up to be. Perhaps sega's older naomi
hardware would've performed and looked just the same?

No major changes in terms of gameplay. The controls are a bit more
sensitive and gameplay has been tweaked and refined to be more precise.
I'm only disappointed with the lack of female players. This however
may be an unlockable feature.

the Arcade version of Power Smash 3 (Virtua Tennis 3) runs on the
LINDBERGH arcade board, which is in NO WAY based on Xbox 360.

Lindbergh hardware is basicly a low-end PC, with:
a Pentium4 3.0 GHz CPU
a GeForce 6800 GT - thus it's NV4x (released in 2004, designed in
2001-2003)
1 GB of SLOW DDR main system memory
256 MB of fast GDDR3 graphics memory


Sega has now ported Virtua Tennis 3 (aka Power Smash 3) to both the
Xbox 360 and the PlayStation3. the PS3 version currently looks better
than the Xbox 360 version, from what I saw yesterday (i posted it here
IIRC, didn't I? ) but I have not compared either console version to
the original Lindbergh arcade. though it shouldn't be a problem for
either console since both are, for the most part, more powerful than
the PC-based Lindbergh hardware.

first of all, Lindbergh is no longer "new", it was around since last
year.

not only that, but Lindbergh is using technology that was around, for
consumers to buy,
in 2004. (i.e. GeForce 6800 GT, 3.0 GHz Pentium4 )

Lindbergh is basicly the *latest* arcade hardware for Sega, but it
definitally isn't new.

Sega also has the very low-end "Aurora" board which is slightly
stronger than the original NAOMI board of 1998 (Dreamcast based) but
not as powerful as the NAOMI 2 of 2000-2001. I don't think any
Aurora-based games have come out yet.


Lindbergh is a step up from: NAOMI 2, Chihiro (Xbox Arcade)
and TriForce (Gamecube Arcade), but is not on par with Xbox 360 or
PlayStation3. dispite the fact that Lindbergh has 1.25 GB of memory
(1 GB system + 256 MB gfx)
it has nowhere near the processing power or graphics power of the new
consoles
(Nintendo Wii *not* included)
