I'm not buying this 3D thing

While I think 3DS will succeed (but probably less than DS) and Ninty will make good use of the 3D "gimmick" in a sizeable number of games, I can't help laughing when I read some Ninty zealots (very few, actually) claiming that 3D will make 2D games better. If Ninty chose to make 3D its latest portable's main feature, it's quite obvious that it will focus on 3D for games too.

I am interested in how it makes Link's Awakening look though.

Well, isometric 3D and also more primitive from above 2D - pseudo 3D could look better, my doubts are mostly for side-scrolling 2D, making it popping out is really a gimmick, while making several 2D layers and making them look at different distances thanks to 3D, well, it makes me think about a safary toy with a light gun and a 2D lion with a photoelectric cell moving between 2D vegetation layers I had when I was a kid
