Thanks a ton.

Impressions:

The graphics are pretty good, but definitely not PS3. More like 'slightly better than Wii', which is nothing to complain about. The specs seem pretty great, honestly. I might consider getting this, now. Please, please, PLEASE let there be some badass titles for this. Metroid Prime: Hunters remake/sequel? : )

They look like Wii on a normal screen. But I wonder how it will look on the smaller DS screen.

Yeah, in motion I bet it'll be a lot different.

Yeah, Nintendo said that the 3DS would have the largest amount of launch titles of any other Nintendo system.
 
Hey Fabio, I think these are the most impressive 3DS screens so far:

Check Mino's post below for screens

At its peak, I can certainly see this thing eclipsing Wii and approaching 360-level... at least in the shader department. Because it seems like Capcom just took the Resident Evil 5 models and put 'em on the 3DS.
