...As a gamer, I'm a little surprised that you expected the game to be on the DS? The 3DS is a true new handheld, not just an upgrade to the DS or anything. The DS couldn't handle the graphics that Luigi's Mansion 2 has in it, for starters. I know it might be frustrating if you're not interested in buying a new handheld or console but that's sort of the nature of the industry.

Aaaaanyway, I'm starting to feel that way about The Hobbit films. I'm still trying to be hopeful about them, but the idea of them being 3 movies is making me a little worried. The Hobbit isn't nearly as long as LOTR is, it doesn't need that many movies.

I also feel that way about World Embryo's American license. It got picked up by Tokyopop, then mysteriously a year later by Dark Horse (which was a good thing, because Tokyopop had been declining in quality and went out of the manga business a few years after this). Dark Horse announced they had the license 4 years ago, and then...nothing. 2 years ago someone who works for DH admitted on a podcast that there had been some sort of 'internal complications' (paraphrased, but it was something like that) that was preventing the manga from coming out in the US. Now I fear we won't ever get that manga in the USA. :( (I did just remember that it's in English in editions for Australia and Singapore, I think, but...I don't want to import books from there on the off chance it DOES come out in my country.) So I'm importing it from Japan soon to support Daisuke Moriyama since he's my favorite mangaka.

Uh, are you serious? The only thing 'new' is the 3D gimmick which is shit. The game would probably play fine and the graphics wouldn't be an issues if Nintendo wasn't burying themselves with the 3D shit that no one actually uses. (And fuck no I'm not paying the same amount I'd pay for a console for a handheld, fuck that shit. This isn't the late 80s early 90s)

My friend bought a 3DS recently and let me play it yesterday, so yes, I'm serious. It's way more powerful than the original DS. Resident Evil looked amazing on that thing. The footage I've seen for Luigi's Mansion looks great, too. Luigi's Mansion is all about atmosphere, so crappy graphics would drag that down some, and as someone that owned a DS (and loved it!) I doubt it'd be able to properly handle a game like Luigi's Mansion, most of the 3D (IE not pixel-based) games I saw on that system didn't have a huge amount of control over the characters to compensate (like Elite Beat Agents).

The 3DS also has a camera that's at least good for some fun gimmicks, the ability to have two control sticks, and from what I could tell improved online options.

So yeah, after getting some good time with the system I can say that it's DEFINITELY different from the DS and Luigi's Mansion 2 will be fantastic on it.
