 The 3DS's top screen is slightly wider than its bottom screen, taking a 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the now-standard 4:3 ratio. The bottom screen is very slightly larger than that of the original Nintendo DS and DS Lite, a significant shrinkage from the Nintendo DSi XL's large screen. The top screen measures 3.53 inches diagonally, while the bottom screen, a touch screen as with the DS series, is 3.02 inches diagonally.
-Unlike the Nintendo DS series, the 3DS is capable of downloading updates to the system and other games even while playing a game or while in sleep mode, a feature similar to the Wii's WiiConnect24. All Nintendo DS games are fully compatible with the console, but will likely feature {{wp|letterbox}}ing of their top screen image, much as was the case for a {{bp|Game Boy Color}} game played on a {{bp|Game Boy Advance}}.

 No Pokémon games for the 3DS have been announced yet; the next games to be released in Japan, {{game|Black and White|s}}, have already been confirmed to be released for the {{bp|Nintendo DS}}. Despite this, due to the compatibility of the 3DS with Nintendo DS games, all Pokémon games from {{bp|Generation IV}} and {{bp|Generation V}} will be playable on the 3DS.
