If they release some really good first party games, I'll most likely pick it up just for them... but the 3D on that tiny screen just isn't really immersive. 3D on a small screen (like 3D cell phone screens) just seems a little pointless. VB FTW!
I agree with you and find it really funny. I've only played with a 3DS for a few minutes, but I knid of noticed the same thing, the immersiveness (is that even a word?) just isn't there. Unbelievably, the clunky visor that you have to press your head into actually
helps. On a funny side note, I was curious when the 3DS came out, so I checked some specifications... did you know that up until the 3DS top screen, the Virtual Boy "screen" had a higher resolution than any single screen on a Nintendo portable?

Plus the launch lineup is terrible and until the remakes of Zelda and Star Fox 64 come out I have zero excitement for any of the games. I've tried Pilot Wings, Street Fighter and a few others and they were only impressive for about 5 minutes. Pilot Wings is pretty worthless if you look at it as a game and not just a 3D tech demo.
Plus the online store wasn't out at the console launch which is very bad form. Why release a device before its not ready and before there are any attractive games for the system? The sales for the 3DS are apparently underwhelming and I would not be surprised in the least if the 3DS goes the way of the Virtual Boy. At this point in time 3D is just a buzzword that stands for "more expensive and not worth it." Consumers just don't want 3D. They don't want it at home on their TV, they don't want to pay extra at the theater, and they don't want an ugly brick of a gaming system that has to be held a foot from your face.
Yeah, I'm starting to draw some interesting parallels between the VB and the 3DS. Poor launch title support, negative press, "It hurts my eyes", the whole bit... I think most Nintendo fans are holding out until Starfox 64 and OoT, but you'd better hope it survives that long or the 3DS will relive it's older sibling's unreleased game nightmare as well.
