I just noticed something: the top screen seems to be smaller in height than the bottom screen, does that mean DS games that use both screens for a single image will look awkward now because of the resizing?
Haven't thought about that..but I'm quite sure that screen resolution is increased.
Also, I'm sure they took a good care of the backwards compatibility, and minimized the "awkwardness" if there is any.

Don't get me wrong, they're not BAD, just mediocre at best

For me its about gameplay anyway

Well I mean, for a handheld. I personally set my bar pretty low and the graphics were pretty awesome, considering it fits in your hand.

Demo showing the 3D effect featuring Mario and Bowser?

The bootup screen seems about the same, except for the red '3' in front of the 'DS'.

Go here and here for more excellent closeup shots from Engadget.

Kid Icarus: Uprising, sports the 3DS's Wii-like graphics. (Shown via E3 wall display, not the 3DS's screen)

MR. Miyamoto presents the Onyx 3DS!

Just waiting on the full spec disclosure, release date and price. I'm fairly well into being sold.

**EDIT: Comment re: topscreen height. It looks the about the same as the bottom to me, at least from this pic. Kinda hard to tell because of the way the screen is tilted.

Graphics on that Kid Icarus game looked mind blowing.

Not agreeing. They looked mediocre compared to what WOULD be possible on a portable system.

I am very excited for the MGS game though, I hope they have some of that sexy cutting action somehow built in

When ds games are blown up on larger screens they look extremely low res.This looks decent on a large screen, imagine how it will look when compressed to a 3.5 inch screen
