But so are you, aren't you?

And DS had great 3rd party support, I see it as just translating over. Obviously yeah this time its right from the start which is better though.

I think off the bat 3DS is getting the sorts of games DS never did; mainline Kingdom Hearts, a MGS game, Street Fighter, etc.  In fact, these were the sorts of games that used to automatically go to PSP.

Though this is mainly in terms of Japan.  Western 3DS support is still pretty terrible and actually disconcertingly Wii-like imo.

I'm sure that we'll see more western support at e3.

Honestly, I like the fact that Ubisoft are behind the 3DS but I'm just hoping their 3DS games will be better than the DS iterations of certain franchises (specifically Assassin's Creed and Rayman).

Ubi's 3DS commitment actually reminds me a lot of their Wii launch.  One or two novel efforts really made with the platform in mind (ie: Red Steel, Raving Rabbids, Shadow Wars, Hollywood Crimes) and then a mountain of ports.

At least Ubi's picking up some Japanese games for western release.  They already nabbed Animal Resort and Cubic Ninja, both of which look more interesting than 99% of Ubi's own stuff imo.
