I think Nintendo has outdone them selves in every way with the 3DS. I havent used one yet (im determined i will in the near feature) but from what i have seen and heard, it's amazing. I think i have heard that it's got better graphics than the Wii, but maybe that's just because it's 3D. Although i dont know the GPU or CPU specs, i do know the RAM is almost double what the Wii has. All the features just seem so cool! Mario Kart 3DS looks like the best game the world has seen, at least in the previews.

Yeah, they're adding a ton of new features, and the graphics are as good as most Wii games, not counting Super Smash Brothers, of course. But as you can tell in the Mario Kart 3DS trailer, it's better looking then Mario Kart Wii.

Dark basic dude79, (may I call you DUDE?) do you have an opinion on normal cat VERSUS Siamese cat VERSUS Persian cat?

You may! Lol it does look better than Wii, but is it just me or is it kind of aliased?

I bought one a week or so ago and it is pretty good. The power it has for running the games seems to match or out do that of the Wii. I bought mine to have The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. The graphics look better than they where on the N64 and Gamecube.

The 3D feature for Zelda is not that great and leaves you going cross eyed or your vision blurring. I tried playing it in 3D for a while but it just doesn't look any better than without 3D. I'm sure there are better games suited for the 3D feature, but IMO, Zelda is not one of them.

What it lacks that the original DS had, is an alarm, the 3DS does not have one, so I am still using my old DS as an alarm clock XD.

Oh yeah, there are much better 3D games. I just think it's a little hard to find good 3D material in Zelda.

I think (and I couldn't care less) that Nintendo found no one cared about those little applications the previous DS had, so they didn't make it to add time towards other apps that people will want to play. No offense. They might add it in an update later on.

Indeed, the alarm to me is useless, i just use my cellphone when i need to use an alarm. It just seems weird (to me at least) to use a gaming console as an alarm clock.
