Hmm.. seems that Nintendo while having the Wii still wants to hold down the handheld market. I just wish they would really push forward with some graphics. That is my complaint with the Wii. It's fun and all, but with such a rich history of games I wish they would really try to compete.

The single review I've read about the 3DS, said that the 3D effect works really well. 3D still has a sort of magic about it because you can't replicate it in a review, so Nintendo could have a big winner again

If the price is right.

Just as long as it's not a portable Virtual Boy...

Come on that things portable, until you walk into the wall and it shatters.

Blue Devil I read review that suggest that the 3DS graphic controller chip is going to rock little kids world

Kids of today are lucky :(.

Nice specs, but nobody likes mario anymore...

Looks good, but is probably gunna be expensive and have really bad games.

I love Mario. The first Super Mario Brothers is a great game, even today and if people are retarded enough not to play the older games, well, their loss. I think people still like Mario, just not most of the other sh*te that comes out on Nintendo consoles nowadays

ZDNet.be & Audioholics.com are reporting that small children (< 7 years) should not play with 3D displays because their eyes are still training their depth-of-vision and 3D displays might interfere with that, perhaps resulting in a 'lazy eye' (strabismus). Adults can also develop problems, especially pregnant woman and the elderly.

15 years ago, Sega stopped the release of a virtual reality headset (which is similar to 3D glasses) because their research uncovered these risks.

It's an interesting coincidence that nVidia also presented their own 3D Vision technology today

Exactly Mario rules. The rest of the stuff nintendo puts out not so much.
