Why is the DS the first handheld they have used a 3D chip in?

There's nothing wrong with 2D games as such. But I would go with the idea that Nintendo would not be launching DS now, if it were not for PSP. I think, Nintendo would be otherwise quite happy to bleed the public dry with the GBA-SP for a few more years. Why spend money on a new hand held project when you dont need to. PSP has been a wake up call for Nintendo.

How can you say that when Ocarina of Time, considered by a large number of gamers to be one of if not the best game ever, was in 3D? Then there's Mario 64, Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, etc.

That doesn't mean that 2D games are unacceptable though. I still love Super Mario World as do many other people and Nintendo consoles have been home to some great 2D titles but they have also allowed us to play some excellent 3D games (as mentioned above) which have been loved just as much as the classic 2D games by 'Ninty fanboys'.

T Score 04 and Macintosh are the same person - both registered for 240 days. I can't be a coincidence.
You loser! Go back to your Sony forum and spam that place up instead!

Except perhaps that every Nintendo game on the N64 and GC has been 3D?

Starwing on the SNES was 3D ffs...

The reason that Nintendo have not used 3D chips before is because Ninty fanboys only think in 2 dimensions.
