iphone is expensive, 3ds is not?

Anyway, I hope they'll release it for android.

I'll be excited when it's an i386 and ARM Linux port.

Also level editor.

I reckon the original could be ported to the C64, given its simplicity, which presumably would excite you the most...

That could be fun, but it's harder to = sufficient multiplayer/networking on C64, so broader portn still > all.

played with the 3DS at GDC, and I'm really unsure about this platform having the staying power that the DS or DSi had. My overall concern is the fact that you MUST keep the unit an exact distance from your head at all times in order for the 3D effect to stay in focus, move it just a bit in or out, up or down, tilted left or right, and the screen goes blurry. If you can sit or stand for hours just in the perfect position, I'm sure you will have fun, and it could be a cool device, but I going to have to say that this device is more of a wow factor at first, and then will be relegated to a life in the drawer not being used, unless it is playing non 3D games, which it does support all DS and DSi titles. In any case I'll be getting one to test on, because the developer units have such short cords they don't operate comfortably as testing units.

The stylus got an upgrade, it telescopes from about 2 inches to about 4 inches for storage/use.

Since the 3D can easily be turned off, I predict that a lot of games will simply go without 3D. Why should Ocarina of Time be in 3D anyway?

Luckily there's more to the 3DS than just the 3D, and there's a good amount of interest from good 2nd and 3rd party developers. Because of this, I don't think the 3DS will do so bad even later on (heck the original DS is still getting good games released).

Hopefully the original DS will continue to get releases for some time (I want my Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 in English

), but I've heard semi-credible rumors that Nintendo is intentionally squashing development/localization of first and second party games for the original DS, now that the 3DS is almost out.

They ported it for PC! Now you can find it on Steam. They say it got some additional tracks and other changes. I have to admit: I haven't tried the phone version, but this one is as addictive as the original! They should have added some more little additions that I miss from the original game, but overall, they've done a great job!
