Actually, it's hardware tricks like the 3DS' true 3D display that will probably be the biggest deterrent to pirates. Even if you emulate the game code perfectly you'll still be missing out on an essential part of the experience.

Well, there are PC graphics systems that emulate 3D perspective but I expect that Nintendo will have already made enough profit by the time crackers can get 3DS games to work with those.

Speaking of emulation, I wonder how long it'll take before homebrewers make some for various 3D systems (3DO, Saturn, PSX, N64, PSP, 3DFX-era DOS) to take advantage of its screen? This is already done with PC shutterglasses setups by having the stereo driver snarf the z-buffer from the HLE's GL/D3D output. It'll probably occur much sooner if Nintendo continues refusing to make a handheld VC service, which indeed appears to be the case so far.

Anyone else hoping that Gamestop will do a trade in deal for the 3DS? I am completely frelling broke so that would rock.

I wonder what new wonders will a 3DS bring to me.

I'd definitely love a 3D enhanced Sonic with a sense of depth and speed like nothing before, as well as another Bionic Commando, since the depth will make it easier to judge your swings.

Maybe the sixth Generation of Pokemon will be on the Nintendo 3 DS?

That's pretty much a given. Nintendo isn't gonna support the DS family for very long after the 3DS is released. A few months, at the most.

^ I dunno, you still might see DS software for a while, the GBA held out for a bit after the DS was introduced...

Let's play a game about Pokémon...

Still it's very doubtful that the next generation will still come for DS.

I'm very interested in the 3DS too. Especially since it doesn't use this horrible glasses. I'm not sure, if I will get it as soon as it comes out, but the apparent release of Ocarina of Time makes it quite likely...

I'm not really into the big 3D push as far as movie, tv etc goes. But I need this in my life. Now.

Kinda pissed that I can't see the 3D though. Dammnit....I wanna see 3D in a handheld without the gay glasses!

nnggh.....let it go....let it go....

Anyway, I've actually lost a lot of hype for it since e3. Maybe I'll be excited again after the big press conference.

I'm personally hoping that movie industries see the potential in this, and start releasing 3DMovie s for the 3DS. Sure the quality might not be great, but just think how awesome it might be to have a real mini 3D television in the palms of your hands!

As far as I know, there really isn't much of a difference between this "3D boom" and the last one. 3DS aside, anyways.

So how did the D Si go? Was it commercially successful? I haven't heard much from it for a long time.

Ditto. I'd also be very pleased if, should this game get made, they included Tails or Knuckles as well.

I can't wait for games that really play on the depth of 3D, like Bionic Commando.
