I agree that the quality of the launch lineup of games is all over the place in terms of visuals from what I've seen so far.  Some games like Resident Evil, DOA, SF IV, and even some of Nintendo's offerings like Kid Icarus and Pilotwings look really good, while other games look terrible even by regular DS standards.

It seems that the 3DS is destined for the same problems that plagued the Wii and original DS by having a flood of developers put their crap on the system and then touting the tacked-on 3D effect similar to how many shoddy developers ported their terrible bargain-bin games on the Wii and then tacked on motion controls and called it a day.

The fact that some of the first 3rd party titles right out of the gate on the 3DS are more party / minigame crap-fests like "Deca Sports" says it all.  Hopefully the amount of good quality 3rd party releases that actually show some effort on the part of the developers greatly outweigh the bad.

The 3DS will probably be both better and worse than the Wii or DS at the same time ... It is a handheld system after all; and, while third party publishers seem to be willing to support it with big budget games in well known IPs from the start, most of the games will be from much smaller development teams with much lower budgets simply because it is a portable game.
