The 3DS was a slight advancement in liquid crystal displays, adding a 4th color to the screen's lighting allowing game designers who knew how to produce fantastic graphics. Using the enhanced color palette the 4 colors, red,blue,green and now yellow, supplied, skilled programmers and artists are capable of very beautiful effects. the Pokemon X and Y games are not a very good example- their very simplified graphics and block-bulk monotonous color schemes often cause a literal eyesore, being too bright, glitchy and grainy. if you wish to enjoy the use of the 3DS successfully, the more mature look and better graphics found in Fire Emblem Awakening are a fascinating example, and the game is fun for any obsessive compulsive gamer to get into... there is also a final fantasy out that I have heard also makes good use of the 3DS features, but I have not played it yet myself.
