If you hold down start while booting Virtual Console games it starts up a mode where an old Gameboy or Gameboy Color borders the screen and if you have 3D on it looks like the game is actually inside the console. This is the greatest thing ever.

3DS touchscreen tech chosen for DS compatibility
The 3DS, despite being a higher-end piece of hardware than the DS -- and, yes, bearing a much higher-end price -- still bears the same resistive touchscreen technology as its seven-year-old forebear. Why would Nintendo opt for older touchscreen technol...

So guys this is a question I have that I don't think has been answered yet...
So you all know how the gamecube game zelda four swords is going to be available for the DSi shop channel, well does that mean that it will be available on the 3DS shop channel in the DSi content section  as well?
