Live and learn.

Curious what this is going to be like. I'm not sold on 3d but gimmickness is Nintendo's trusty revolver when it comes to new consoles. I'm not, however, too cynical to dismiss this entirely since hell I love my DS.

What I've heard is...

1) Two screens, with virtually no seam between them when open
2) Screens are larger and higher resolution, but exact resolution is unknown
3) Powered by nVidia Tegra
4) Roughly as powerful as a Gamecube, and apparently similar to program for
5) Uses carts - believed to be same physical size as DS/DSi carts, only with different guts
6) Due out in 2010 in at least one territory
7) Accelerometer for motion control

Looking forward to seeing it.

I'm guessing that means backwards compatibility!

Also, Coro Coro is revealing more Pokémon 5 features next week. I'm guessing that's why this was revealed so soon.
