I'm not happy with the lacks F-Zero on DS. Even GBA had it's fair share of F-Zero.
3DS must have a new F-Zero or I'll PAWNCH Miyamoto to death. o//////o

Tch, with an accelerometer, I highly expect that some of the first games out of the barn will be racing games where the system is the steering wheel.

Anyway, I've figured out my situation.

The DSi probably won't transfer games to the 3DS.
The 3DS is backwards compatible with the DSPhat-DSiXL library.
That means that the 3DS will probably even communicate with the other DS' in that BC mode.
I have many games that can play even with a single cart, but concerned that other people may not have a DS to play.
SOLUTION: Keep the DSi. I can keep my downloaded titles, and I have an older DS for those other games.

Sorry Gamestop, but unless the 3DS doesn't talk to the other DS', you ain' gettin' mah DSi! :P

Yeah, for a reduced price.

They actually send the ones they get in. A lot of other stores, like my local Game XChange, just throw borked ones away.

Aw, it's just a snapped piece of plastic. Probably. Could be a loose/looser switch.

Shame; such an easy fix, just gotta open it up, really.

The communication method for DS is wifi. I'd hate to see them screw up that.

I'd like to see a game where you hold up the 3DS and as you move it around, the camera pans. Even better if it uses the camera to use the surrounding for reference.

Hey guys, what has 2 screens, does 3D effects without glasses, and debuts in [chameleon sting]ing October? 8D

Wow, this almost invokes my MMXC-dar.
Seriously. The options are:
They really plan on doing the things they are implying and are rushing it...
They aren't rushing it and it's another DSi...
Full on MMXC, where the whole thing is a sham...

Didn't they say they were waiting for the DS to stop selling well to make a new DS?
And so soon after DSi. Those people got screwed.

I'm still hoping for a good Portable Zelda. That pretty much decides it ultimately.

Then there's option four where all the mystery R&D Nintendo's been doing has been for this. They aren't going to make something like this, release it when they plan to, and expect the best without putting some confidence in their moves. No need to be so cynical or overly positive. Just wait & see.

I just hope developers don't keep developing for DS and deeming developing with the new features in mind too much of a cost risk. I wanna see new games with new features, but it's hard to tell if the 3DS is a new handheld or just another upgrade.

PS: Please put the GBA slot back in.

Much as I'd LIKE to see the GBA slot, if this thing is truly a DS successor then that makes the GBA slot 2-generation-old hardware.  If Big N was willing to do that then the DS would have been playing GBC carts (not that I'd argue, just saying).

Wow.  October.  MUCH earlier than I was expecting.  That probably refers to Japanese release, but we'll see.

I wonder why they never released some old GB games with the DSi, just add some color to it and maybe a choice on whether you want those side borders or not. Hopefully they will get this for the 3DS.
But seriously, cardboard, good idea.

Interesting notes on 3DS came up today. The most interesting being that the 3D screens can toggle the 3D effect for those who might not be able to view 3D images for a long time and the DRM/piracy measures on the system are going to supposedly be Nintendo's fiercest yet.

Nintendo 3DS to have tighter DRM, switch-off 3D screens

updated 05:55 pm EDT, Fri May 7, 2010

Nintendo 3DS games will be harder to copy

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said in an interview today that the 3DS will have tougher anti-copying measures than the existing DSi. The executive wouldn't say what it would involve, saying it would give "hints" to pirates, but told Forbes it was important to step up copy protection measures. Nintendo is concerned about a culture of free where "software is meaningless," Iwata said.

He added that the 3DS will still be usable by those who don't like or can't use 3D. The signature displays, likely made by Sharp, won't have to generate their effect at all times and can be switched back to 2D. His statements suggest that many if not all 3DS games will have a fallback to conventional graphics.

The 3DS may have the latest NVIDIA Tegra graphics, higher-resolution displays and even extras like analog sticks or vibration feedback.

Rumble. Say goodbye to your battery.

I hope Sony responds to this competively.

It'd be nice if the inner camera could detect your eye location and distance for POV reference.
