Yeah, except this time everything is region locked, original DS games excepted. At least with the DSi there were (and are) almost no DSi-only or DSi-enhanced card games, so it's only the stuff in the shop that was region locked, and I don't think we missed anything of note there (of the few DSiWare games that are of note as far as I know). That, and the system's poor battery life, are the two main downsides. Well, there is a third, higher prices... I mean it's $250, which is a LOT for a handheld, and I think the games are going to be at least $40. Not cheap. Low prices and long battery life were the original Game Boy's two main selling points, along with the great game library... they've abandoned two of those now. I'm going to guess that the 3DS will sell well anyway, but it is too bad that they did that.
On the other hand, it has 3D visuals, which is awesome... I like 3d games, I have and like the Virtual Boy and the Sega Master System 3D Glasses. Glasses free 3d is a pretty great feature.
