Yea, 2 screens has been done before, both in the arcade and for handhelds. But this is the first time developers have actually had a machine to develop for with 2 screens.

Yep, true. This time we will get to see some interesting stuff. People are already thinking that no one will find uses for both screens besides maps, but you dont know what the dev's have on their mind.

Oh definitely. Right now they might only be showings, but then there will be a game that comes out with such a basic different use, but it will make all the difference. And then we will think to ourselves, "why didn't we think about that?" lol.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Good ideas are imagined, and great ideas are stolen"?

That is literally the first thing that popped into my mind when it was announced, and I'm sure it was the same for others. But it was the Zelda model I was thinking about.

But yeah, this is great. Even if the DS only had one screen and stylus and microphone support, it would still be third pillar material.
