i dont know... did anyone else notice how early on the graphics for the game sucked, and then just recently it got really good? nomura did say something about having the game push the limits for the ds so that it could use its full potential, and then like a month or two later the DSi comes out in japan... i think there might be a link. i think the graphics for days would be too great for the reg DSlite... idk just an idea...
