I really wish we could see screenshots that would represent how the game actually looks in 3D, but at least these screenshots give us a sense of what the 3DS can handle graphically.
Intellivision was the first gaming console I had...hopefully these games play well.

I know everyone is waiting for more news on when they can get a Nintendo 3DS, but fear not, Nintendo will be announcing information on the release date and price in Japan on September 29th.
I'll be shocked if they release it this year, but let's hope.
Developer Rake in Grass released today their iPhone title Archibald’s Adventures on the PSP. Archibald’s Adventures is a unique blend of action and puzzle titles that challenges players and offers a high level of complexity. Featuring 191 different levels, Archibald’s Adventures begins by controlling Archibald on a skateboard. In later levels, the player controls Archibald to pilot a robotic vehicle that can scale walls and ceilings and can also fly around as Archibald with a jetpack, using his technology to solve puzzles along with the aid of a mysterious floating bubble.
The premise of the game is that Archibald and the mad scientist Professor Klumpfus need to escape the professor’s mansion because his latest experiment went wrong, causing strange lifeforms to be released from their containment cells. In addition, the central security system has locked up the mansion as a security protocol against the rampaging experiment.
