DS successor announced: "3DS"

Click.

Been a lot of news going around lately about this so I am sure a few of you are acquainted already. For those who are not, click the above link.

To be perfectly honest I was saying something like this would happen. It'd be announced for an E3 debut and out in time for Christmas in Japan by my estimates... Just in time for this 5th generation of Pokemon, no? Boy I sure do love coincidences. Of course, the Western markets won't likely get the 3DS until some point next year unless they are considering a worldwide launch.

This better have compatibility and improved internet connections. Plus the thought of Gamecube quality level of graphics is pretty scary. The Wii's graphical efforts are going to take another hit from incessant fanboy ramblings I can tell: "LOLOLOL A HANDHELD CONSOLE CAN DO BETTER THAN DA WII HUUHR."

Gamecube graphics ... this is gooood. 3D gaming? Not sure how I feel about that. I've not really enjoyed the 3D films I've seen. Still, I'm open minded. If they pull it off well, I'm happy.

And yeah, better internets and things, please.

3D gaming will either turn out to be a major Godsend or be incredibly gimmicky. All that I know is, i'm leaning towards it being bit of a gimmick. Still, the DS touchscreens proved an entire legion of critics wrong. In fact, most technologies embrace touchscreen capabilities now.

Better internet connections and none of this FC would have to be a must too though. ;D I'm getting a bit sick of all this 12 digit number inputting. Especially on here when i'm trading or battling with people. I recently got SoulSilver too which adds more fuel to the fire.

The 3ds looks awesome but i dont think it will be a hit. i think it will cause i damage and then flop. studys show that extended exposure to 3d graphics and stuff damages the retnas or cornias or something like that. its some part of the eye.
