Additional Resources for Style

• 3D DS graphics are similar to N64 and PS1 graphics but 3D models are more refined (due to 3D modelers getting better). A good example is Mario in Super Mario 64 vs Mario in Super Mario 64 DS.
• The DS had cell shading for 3D rendering and only had enough memory for roughly 2048 triangles 
• The DS could only do 30 FPS if 3D was on both screens
• The 3DS is similar to PS2/Gamecube/Wii graphics in terms of power and uses
• For creating a optional 3d rendering effect (if you're doing a 3DS style game) see if your game engine/tool of choice has a Anaglyph 3D post process (Here's an example of how to program it anaglyph-3d-shaders)
• Each screen on the DS was 256 x 192 pixels
• The 3DS's bottom screen was 320 x 240 pixels with the top being 800 x 240 pixels but was effectively 400 x 240 pixels
• The DS/3DS control scheme was D-Pad, X, A, Y, B, select, start, right and left bumpers, touch screen, circle pad(s) for 3D
