I am more excited for the 3DS than any other gaming console ever. Do you know how I know this? Because I care about what the god damn cartridge is going to look like. Really, why should I give two sh*ts? I shouldn't, but I do, and for some strange reason I think some other people do as well.

We already knew that the 3DS would be able to play the DS's games and thus use its cartridges so the differences couldn't be too major, but there are some. It has a tab on it for starters. What could that tab do? It's probably where they keep the secret 3D magic. If only we could harness the power of that tab we'd be in business, people! Sadly, the magic tab is a secret that Nintendo will keep to itself, I'm sure.

A not so noticeable change in the cartridge is the fact that the size has been bumped up to 2GB. That's going to allow for a lot prettier and bigger games, as I think we've already seen demonstrated. Then again, with all the talk on downloads and non-stop connectivity who knows if we're even going to be using cartridges? Oh, wait. They already tried that.
