Other than looking like a DS, it`s a totally new bit of kit and far more powerful than the existing one(s).  It will be MASSIVE and I doubt they`ll even launch it this year over here because they won`t be able to build enough of them.
The 3D (without any glasses!) supposedly blows everyone away as soon as they play it.  Nevermind the gyroscope/accelerometer/3D camera..

Nintendo`s coffers will be generating its own gravity again.

EDIT: Seen this?
EDIT 2: And this..

The usual.
Supposedly Japan this year and here middle of next year unless you go for the import method.

Surprised this is the first thread on here about it though, games forums have been buzzing about it for ages.
