Did I just see trophies on the top screen at 4:06 or am I just dreaming(it's 4:30 am)? Those things that look like Gold, Silver and Bronze crowns.

Maybe a trophy system but I'm not gonna get my hopes up. Smilie

Looks like the Mii options are just as limited as the Wii's. Can't they let you choose from more than 8 colours? Lame. Smilie

The Augmented Reality cards look a LOT of fun. I hope developers start including them in all games. Will make a great bonus considering the software price increases. Smilie

The Miis are limited so they can be compatible between the Wii and the 3DS. If the 3DS version had new features, they wouldn't be compatible with the Wii version.

They could simply update the Wii with the new features. Wii games that use Miis simply won't be able to use the new features. Problem solved. Smilie

Looking awesome. I really like the GUI, it's like the DSi but seems to have been revised quite a bit.

Considering Mii's face creation is still more flexible than MS avatars system i'm not to fussed over them not improving it, i'd rather not have nintendo go down MS route of selling virtual clothes.

I just think the colour options are far to limited. Only 8 colours to choose from for both your favourite colour (outfit) and 8 choices for hair (sorry ginger/blue haired people!). An entire rainbow of colours and they limit you so badly. Smilie
