It's interesting, but I'm wary of them packing in so many "innovative" features. I'm a 90's gaming kid. Caught the end of the SNES and played my N64 long after the Gamecube was released.
Maybe all this innovation business is reason for me to give up gaming in the future when I have less time to spend on such things.
Also, can anyone say "Worst name ever?"

Granted, "3DS" is only a tentative name, and I'm sure we can all agree that the final name won't be that.
More likely than not will it sound better.

Like how they shortened the "Nintendo Dual Screen" into the "Nintendo DS" to make it hip with the kids.
Or how the SciFi channel changed its name to SyFy to make it hyp with the kyds.

I'm sick of the 3D craze going around.
Movies are now all 3D, 3D television, 3D commercials.
I DON'T LIKE 3D!

Yeah, hopefully the 3D thing dies down. The whole idea of 3D movies just seems to be exploiting depth gimmicks and kind of (imo) gets in the way of the art.

All my friends rage when I slander Avatar (even though I haven't seen it) because it's so unoriginal and bland I want to puke.

Toadster, you really should see Avatar. It isn't unoriginal, it's a classic fable set in a breathetaking environment. The juxtaposition of alien and familiar, nature and machina, people and the blue cat things <3... It's one of my favourite movies. Lacking original plot? Oh yes. Amazing and touching? Well, I cried for two hours straight. If Avatar was instead a cult movie, not regarded accessible by the grand masses, its plot would surely get a free pass. Now that it's a multi-million franchise, of course people are going to tear into it. Which is downright acceptable. However, most of the mainstream movies don't have original stories - Avatar isn't alone in the "Replace the names, oh now it's a different story!" -category.
I'm looking towards Nintendo 3DS. I never bought DS (Dual Screen? Really. I didn't know that. What did the SP mean? I could tell, but it would be rude...), so the chance of playing Platinum and SoulSilver on 3DS excites me. Bring it on!

According to Nintendo of America, the SP in the title meant "special".

I'm kind of neutral when it comes to Avatar. When it comes to movies, I'm one to prefer thrillers and mysteries over most other things. I thought Avatar spent a little too much time in certain areas where the whole intention of the scenes was to show off the visual effects and the grand fight scene at the end (spoilers if you haven't seen even one trailer or have never seen a movie ever) was slightly undermined because it only began after you had watched more than a long movie's length and once I figured out that there was still thirty minutes left to the movie, it became a bit of an ordeal.
Though you have to give it credit where it's earned it. It does have spectacular visual effects, which are almost merit enough to spend money on it.

My main reason to watch movies: to see a story.
I don't care about special effects, explosions or pretty blue space people. These things all take back seats. If the story is bad or unoriginal that's a huge minus.
And trust me: cult movie, modern fad, whatever. I judge a movie only based on what it delivers. I cannot fully judge it until I see it, of course, but of what I've seen, read and heard Avatar does not live up to the acclaim it has gotten. I still need to see it for myself, though.
And yes, it deserves all the visual awards in the world. Beautiful graphics. Re-hashed story.

From what I've heard recently, the 3DS is expected to be an incredibly powerful system. gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=125964I swear. June 15, I probably won't be leaving an inch from my computer so that I can have a good look at the next king of handheld systems.
