I could never get my fingers to work with my DSL screen.

Could be my fat Megan Fox style thumb?

*shrugs* It works for all my 10 fingers.

Nope, it uses the mopst popular format for 3D photos, so probably will display on any device that display 3D content.

Exactly. Not a lot. There hasn't been a huge uptake of 3D screens, and even if you have one, you probably don't have enough glasses to show pictures to all of your family. By far the majority will have nowhere else to show these pictures than on their 3DS, which means it will end up being pretty limited as camera.

The same way that one can use other apple products to communicate with each other (ipad controlling apple t.v., etc...), is the same way that Nintendo should start doing that with their products.  What would be cool is if the 3DS has a hidden feature in it to act as a remote control for the next Nintendo home console.  Although perhaps that would drive down the sales of home console remotes...  Either way, I could see Nintendo doing something like that.  I mean, the original Wii Remote was going to have touch based controls had the DS failed in general - That was in one of the Iwata Asks Sessions fo Wii.

I mean, Microsoft, Apple, and Sony all have the advantage of integrating all their peripherals to work with one another.  And that's mainly because they aren't one dimensional companies like Nintendo (just gaming).  They have a wider span of multi-functional products and so it makes sense for them to make each one of their product multipurpose devices so that they can all cross over with each other.  Nintendo doesn't have that element, but they could perhaps offer consumers some sort of added bonus for having both a portable and home console system.

Just checked out a couple of Resident Evil 3DS gameplay vids. Pretty nice. Could have easily been done on the PSP.

I don't mean to be demeaning towards Nintendo but saying the graphics for the 3DS are at Gamecube levels is like saying graphics for a good NES game are great for "so and so console company" during the PS1/N64 era.

Point being, the graphics for the Gamecube cut it, but no one was raving about Metroid Prime's graphics in comparison to Shadow of the Colossus or God of War.

Graphics aren't and never will be Nintendo's bread and butter. Likewise the 3D gimmick is not fooling anybody. When both the NGP and 3DS are released, the NGP will boast the best graphics and greatest graphics capabilities bar none.

Did I just read an implication that the gamecube didn't stack up to the PS2, and that after an open declaration that Mercenaries could have been done on the PSP? All of this avoiding the point that you said the 3DS was barely an upgrade compared to the N64?

Yeah, I'm done here

Yes, the 3DS is an upgrade from N64 graphics. If you want to pick straws and say the 3DS is at or above Gamecube graphics levels, then I will come down off my mountain and meet you half-way.

Khuutra, I agree the 3DS has just as good if not better graphics than the Gamecube. However, the NGP still has better graphics from what I have seen at this point...

As for me mentioning Metroid Prime and PS2 vs. GC graphics, did I mention I can bake something fierce?

In all seriousness, I opened up a sore wound I should not have. I know from your Metroid: Other M posts that Metroid Prime is a series dear to your heart. Well, I can't take back what is quoted, but I will say Nintendo can pump out some competitive graphics.

Nintendo cannot have it all though, they may win generations but not everything. Sony is the graphics king, but look at how well graphics processing capability did for the PS3...Dead last.
