⇒ Nintendo 3DS!

some writeups:
kotaku: hands on | first look gallery | 3ds known specs | star fox returns! | games announced

gizmodo: writeup | what is it? | hands on

I'm really interested in this--not just for the 3d, but Starfox is back! And the graphics do look very good.

Unrelatedly, general reaction to the handheld is so far very impressed.

screens from Resident Evil and Starfox:

quantification of sony/micro's new 'grooves'

"In general, the freaky-deaky augmented video mechanisms presented by Microsoft and Sony are inert for us - that is to say, we have no reaction to them whatsoever. Absent anything beyond minigames and puppet shows, I don't know how to contextualize this technology. I can't be certain that it has ramifications of any kind for the games I like to play, the ones my friends like to play, or for the games that built this industry."
