If I can drag myself away from Etrian Odyssey IV for an hour or so, I will send something.

Bioshock is a perfect example. After the plane crash many people didn't realise that it went straight from cutscene to gameplay. It was mind-blowing at the time. Now it no longer blows us away graphics-wise because of, say, Bioshock Infinite. But, Bioshock is an incredible game, and in fact I prefer it to Infinite. So, graphics aren't important, but a less graphically intensive Bioshock may not have affected us in the same way. As such, I like having the 3D, so that I can use it and see if I'm impressed by the 3D. And I am in a few games, but not enough of them yet. I really hope the new Smash Bros will have good 3D graphics, but I doubt they'll try anymore if the game producers no longer feel they should put in the effort as many people will have a 2DS, which would be a shame.
I do think older games have done cutscenes that have seamlessly transferred to gameplay (the sort of plane crash, character gets out and stands on the left hand side of the screen, you are then controlling character sort of thing), can't bring any names to mind at the moment though (I think Another World (or Out of this World, if you are American) kind of counts because you essentially just appear underwater, then you are controlling your character, but I'm pretty sure there is a more obvious one I am missing). But I can understand that modern graphics can make things far more immersive, and also make communicating the story easier as well as giving it more impact, but they are not the be all and end all of everything. In all honesty, I don't think that the first party and more prominent third party stuff will skimp on the 3D on the prospect of most people having a 2DS, but I may be wrong with that one.

Alright, take gen 1 of pokemon. Very low texture/sprite resoultion, and some of the sprites are hideously bad. But you'd rather play it with those graphics compared to ascii graphics, no? Graphics are a part of the game, just not part of the gameplay.
They are a part of the game that is negligible, just because people may prefer to play something with good graphics, doesn't mean they can't or won't play something with bad graphics. If graphics had never improved over low quality textures, we wouldn't know any different, it's just because of the fact that we have been spoiled with these new fangeldy 3D models and higher quality textures that those are even classed as 'bad'. Graphics may be part of the game, but you wouldn't tell someone to play CS:GO instead of Pokemon because the graphics are better because they are two entirely different types of game. As long as the quality of the graphics does not hinder the gameplay, graphics are negligible. I enjoy playing Ancient Domains of Mystery even though it is ASCII art, I wouldn't enjoy it any more or any less if it had proper sprites.

And if graphics mean absolutely nothing, why not have all games made in ASCII art? It's a hell of a lot cheaper to render.
Because modern day people would shun that regardless of how well the game functioned. Another reason would be because we have the assets to do better, so therefore people put a bit more work in and do better. Plus people would probably need a lot more time to figure out interfaces and suchlike. Just look at Ancient Domains of Mystery for an example. And although you say that you can restrict the 3D effect, how many parents know how to or bother to figure it out? Plus, if the 2DS is sturdier and you are buying it for a child, why would you get something that is weaker, more expensive and has a superfluous function that the child will never figure out how to use properly because you need to be looking at it dead on at the right distance, the right amount of 3D, and the stars need to be aligned for it to work, or would you get the cheaper one that is less likely to break (assuming it is actually sturdier than the 3DS when not taking the hinge into account)?

Unless you're desperate for Mario Kart 7 or Pokemon X/Y, this thing is pretty useless.
Or Fire Emblem Awakening, or Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, or Animal Crossing or a portable Street Fighter (assuming you don't have a PSP/Vita) or Etrian Odyssey 4, or Kingdom Hearts, or Pokemon Rumble Blast or Shinobi or or the sequel to 9Hours9Persons9Doors or the various eShop games or Theatrhythm Final Fantasy or any other game that has been or will be released on the 3DS.

How did you lose these teeth?
Removed under general anaesthetic, three wisdom teeth, an extra tooth, and a molar. So no interesting story about manly battles, unfortunately.

 Now with five less teeth

-Your inventory limit is still 16
Although you can 'increase' you inventory size by 10 if you use empty letters (just by dragging an item into the letter). Also, fruit stacks now, Making it all the more easier to farm money from selling fruit at another town. The Island is the easiest way to make money, just by going there after about 7pm-ish and catching the rare bugs and the sharks (If you stick to catching things worth 8000 or more (not too hard in the evening, where the cheapest insects are the ground based ones which you need to scare away/ferry into the water, the butterflies (which are a pain unless you dig up the bushes), and the couple of things that are worth less (fruit beetle is worth 200, Goliath Beetle is worth 6000, Ocean Sunfish is worth 3000 (I believe), and hammerhead is worth 6000 (I think), you can make a minimum of 320,000 per trip, and it only costs you 100 to get there). And that's not taking into account the fact that you will probably get five or so golden scarabs, and also not taking into account what the bonus item at Re-Tail is. Also, campsite is kind of OP when it comes to getting items, when I first went there, I managed to come out with enough things to give each of my rooms a theme (saying that, it can get a bit expensive if you aren't using the island to get the money and if luck isn't on your side). Then there is the perfect fruit, which sells for rather a lot more (I think it is 600 in your own town and 3000 in a town where it isn't native), you can plant them to make a tree, but that tree will only last something like 4-7 harvests, and on the last harvest, it will give you a rotten fruit as well (on the bright side, leave it lying around to get a new bug) I have been kind of neglecting this in the past week or so, but I'll try to get back into it. Name: Cameron Town: Wotton Friend Code: 1848-1656-5005 I think I am mainly trying to get Sleek stuff for my bedroom (see also: basement), some more things for my games room (so like pool tables and dart boards (although I already have those two), some sort of oriental stuff for my back room (swords, masks, and the like), kitchen related stuff for my kitchen, and instruments for my music room. My town fruit is cherry (so I will be looking to pawn off my perfect cherries in any other town).

Just back from having three wisdom teeth, an extra tooth, and a molar removed, not in much pain, having some tepid tea and soup, and I get a week off.

And there is a specific reason why I am listening to this song.

Yes, I did listen to this song just because of its name.

Are you seeing the ad link as a highlighted word that is blue or green and pops something up when you hover over it? If so, it's probably worth checking out this thread https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=10563.0 because it is probably your side and not GTM's side (especially since you mentioned having a lot of PUPs which I remember having when I was seeing ad links).

>search engine
Engine =/= motor
Technically, motor is a synonym for engine (although, search motor isn't right, regardless). In all honesty, I thought Naryar was just making a joke when he said it.
