If they were going with this design they should've just made a full screen tablet and slowly roll out apps like kindle/twitter, etc. and split the screen accordingly for games. This just doesn't look right.

I personally like the way nintendo has handled 3d. It's not always comfy on full blast but setting it just a tad on 3d gives you a nicer viewing angle range with just enough depth to amplify the visuals. I've found it to make first person dungeon crawlers much more immersive and a lot of the things Super Mario 3d land did with it was impressive. I know its not for everyone and it does not meaningfully add to most games but I really do enjoy the hell out of it and I think the 3d is what pushes the handheld over the top as a very sexy, cutting-edge device to own.

It's also having an amazing year for games
