While some people will dismiss this as unimportant, I think it’s fair to say that I should at least put it out there before making the assumption that no one wants to hear it. According to some tests by Destructoid editor Nick Chester, the 3DS actually displays regular DS games in poorer quality. Check out these photos he took:

As you can see, there’s a clear difference between the color intensity and the blurriness of the two screen photos. The one that seems a bit blurrier and less vibrant is indeed being played on a 3DS, vs. the clearer one on a DSi.

Of course, you can play DS games in their native resolution which cleans up the image a bit, but it also shrinks the size way down. You can see in that third screen that Pokemon takes up very little of the already small 3DS screen.

In case you’re curious, Julian Gollop is the narrator behind this video. He’s one of the main developers who has been creating on Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars, and he is, of course, well-known for his work on the X-COM series.

Thanks to Nathan P for the tip!

Nintendo’s Hideki Konno on whether or not the collaboration for the Wii Fit Balance Board was the inspiration for his involvement with the 3DS hardware…

“Well actually, the hardware team that worked on Nintendo 3DS and the hardware team that worked on the Wii Fit Balance Board were not the same hardware teams.

One thing about our development style at Nintendo, we’ve had hardware teams and software teams, obviously, working in the same building for a long, long time. Personally myself, I’ve been 25 years on the software side of things. So having someone — as you had said — from the software side enter hardware development at such an early stage, may not be a common occurrence.

But as you said, and I think you’re right, with the development of the Balance Board I think the software team provided a lot of information and a lot of ideas that the hardware team incorporated into the completion of the development process of that particular product.”
