You know that ds games are not using 3d. They are not made for 3d some when you play them they will be 2d. And the screen thing. I am pretty sure they are going to do the same thing they did with gba games on the original ds. They are going to same 4:3. So the image on the top screen will have boarders. So the obstacles are now cleared. Get hyped for this now.

I'm not talking about playing DS games on this device. I'm talking about the future of these and many other 3DS games. How will the 3DS games of these and similar series control now if they can't replicate the old control scheme and 3D simultaneously? Do we revert back to antiquated analog gameplay, after the DS broke so many control barriers?

Turn of 3d, use DS controls, where is the problem, the 3DS has the same controls as the DS, plus extra stuff, so if you don't want the extra stuff, just don't use it

I don't know how this has to do with anything. I'm asking how developers will develop their 3DS games when they can't simultaneously do 3D and on screen touch/pointer manipulation on the same screen, limiting or vastly changing how certain games we're accustomed to on the DS will now perform. Let's look at one particular game, Trauma Center. This game is controlled by directly manipulating items and doing actions on the touchscreen that are being shown on the touchscreen, not the screen above. The only thing on the screen above is your timer and a static image of your assistant giving text based instruction. How does a developer keep the same fantastic touch based gameplay while simultaneously providing a 3D experience for the user if each is presented on a separate screen?

Change the setup, make the lower screen something like an outline of the patient, and the upper screen the image, so you make the cuts and such on the lower screen, but the upper screen shows the effect of the cut in 3D, it'll force some creativity out of some developers, not a bad thing imo
