As much as I (and most people) were surprised by the 3D display announcement, it seems like a remarkably conventional improvement compared to what Nintendo did with the DS and the Wii. Now, I don’t necessarily think that this is a bad thing, but I do think that this may be far more about differentiating their handheld from the countless high-powered portable devices that can play games today. While it is possible that Nintendo meant to bring new interest to handheld consoles, I think it is much more likely that it is intended to give reason for someone to buy this system even though they own a iPod Touch or iPhone.
One thing I am curious about is whether Nintendo will be adding new unorthodox user-input interfaces to try to change gameplay on top of this.
