Has the monstrous price on these been announced too?

The board exploded while I was out doing hard labor today, moved like 250 some 2x4's among other things. Feeling a little lazy to look around and catch up with the dozens of pages I've missed just today.

You didn't miss much. Nintendo announced their latest gimmick hardware. It has a gigantic controller that's basically a laptop. The regular slew of usual Nintendo suspects are getting new games. That about covers it.

I don't think this qualifies as a 'gimmick'. There are some real gameplay applications to be had from having an extra screen like that. It's almost like a game console is finally going to have the advantages that a mulit-display gaming PC has.

I especially found it fascinating to see the developers talking about alternate views for certain games. I began to imagine a shmup with the horizontal scrolling on the TV but with a vertical view on the controller. Bullet hell in multiple dimensions!

On that note, you could finally have handheld games that friends can watch on the telly. Or gaming while your dad watches the game.

Many practical applications, for less than oral surgery! (Probably.)

Sir I am surprised to see you post, what with a free Pokedex game on the 3DS.

Like the PSP? Or the GB? Or the GBA?

I think Yoshi was talking about games that would ordinarily take up the entire TV. For a family that doesn't have a lot of extra TV's, this would be a great way to keep gaming while another person watches whatever they want to watch.
