Can't believe those tiny cards can play gamecube quality games. And I really hope the colors they showed off are released at launch, I want the blue one.

Its really not that impressive. A gamecube disc had only about 1.4 gig of space on it. DS cards are basically SD cards. A 2 gig card is what? $10 retail? The manufacturing cost is probably a couple dollars.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. They have 32 GB SD cards now...

What I meant is, its not the memory size that excites me per se(though believe me, 2GB is a HUGE improvement over DS cards), its the fact that these games that could be run on the gamecube are now being run on a handheld and they'll run better now that there will be little to no load times thanks to them being on cards. Its like the excitement of the GBC being a portable NES, GBA being a portable SNES, DS being a portable 64, and now the 3DS is like a portable Gamecube, perhaps even more so.


And a nice reference for games running better on cards/cartridges, play Final Fantasy VI on SNES and then play it on Playstation 1, its almost painful due to load times thanks to it being on a disc(though to be fair that is also due to shoddy programming so its not the perfect reference)

I'm a bit in my cups at the moment.
A huge improvement over UMDs too. Those held up to 1.8 GB and had load times. I still say, from what we've seen so far, 3DS is on par with the PS2. (As opposed to the GCN) Kid Icarus, at least, looks very much like a PSP game. MGS3 though, does look on par with at least the PS2.

Oh, and there will be a $200 360 slim in the fall. Link

Know E3 is over and all but since we discussed it here I thought I'd just post this here.

Resident Evil Revelations trailers:

looking mighty fine if you ask me, even though its just cinematics.

That looks good to me. It looks like there were some scenes of the boat from RE5 and the mansion from Lost in Nightmares. I wonder if this is taking place after RE5? And who was that guy tied up in the chair? At first I thought it was Chris, but then at the end it was someone else.

Curious to find out who it is, and I'm very happy to see zombies in the trailer, wonder if there will be a mix? Or just zombies.
