I'd love to see some 2D games running...dunno if the pixels get upscaled or what have you. What I mean is the upscale dithering method used on DS games playing on a 3DS. Upscales dithered sprites don't look so hot IMHO.

New 3DS has a 1:1 pixel mapping mode. Just hold down select while you're booting a DS game and it will play in native res, unstretched.

Does the new 3DS higher pixel density means that it needs to upscale the image to the new screen? I've always preferred native rez over upscale.

@jro, faggit RPGs and lies...lol, there's a lot of gaming to be had on 3DS other than holding hand RPGs and shittastic crap like that.

SMT, Fire Emblem, and Etrian Odyssey don't hold your hand. That's about the last charge I'd level at those series.

Do you think the different types of displays would make a difference?

For as low a pixel count as any of them have, not really, at least not enough to warrant paying more. No 3DS/2DS game is going to be impressive graphically no matter what, pretty much.
