Any more 3D stuff? I have an idea of how it works and what it looks like but am curious if they talked about specifics...

Wahts the 3d screen resolution?

Will it play movies?

What media formats will 3DS accept?

Backwards compatible in 3D with older DS games?

Stuff like that...

Look below for technical stuff.

Yes, they said it would play movies in 3D.  They mentioned a few studios.  Don't quote me on this, but I think they were Disney, Warner Bros., and Dreamworks.  They mentioned How to Train You Dragon in 3D specifically.
