After watching Nintendo Direct on my 3DS last night and seeing some of the upcoming games, I'm having a hard time seeing the difference between 3DS and DS, too.


Sarcasm?  or are you referring to something else?  Because there's a clear difference in capabilities.  I've gotten myself some DS games and they look wayyyy different. 

A little.  I have some games that clearly aren't possible on the original DS.  But you have some games like RE:R that look amazing and didn't sell very well.  It may just be a little discouraging for devs to try and push the hardware (which is definitely powerful).  I don't think many of them are even bothering.

I watched the Nintendo Direct video in hopes of finding something to be excited about.  They showed some awesome stuff like Paper Mario but they also showed a lot of stuff that will definitely be fun but don't push the console (Like Angry Birds and the 2D Mickey Mouse).  I'll be buying the Mickey Mouse game almost definitely since Magical Quest was one of my favorite SNES games but it doesn't look amazing.

And aren't you on my 3DS friends list?  You KNOW I play the fuck out of my 3DS!!


I don't think I've added anyone here yet on my friends list on the 3DS.  I definitely agree that the Mickey Mouse game looks graphically similar to a DS game, though.  It seems to me that it may have originally been planned for DS as it doesn't do anything that a DS couldn't do anyway.  I also play my 3DS a lot, with over a hundred hours put into Kid Icarus and over 90 hours put into Ocarina of Time 3D, nearly 70 hours in Theatrhythm, etc.
