It is weird that they would directly port a what, 6 year old game, but it will be interesting to see how well it plays, and It's nice to see that the 3DS will have more M rated titles at launch than the DS did in its entire cycle.
@Willy105: I'm still expecting it to completey awesome. 3D splinter cell, resident evil, and metal gear solid, om a handheld? That alone is going to make me get it.

While I am quite psyched for the 3DS myself, I do feel the necessity to point out that both the Splinter Cell and MGS game are ports of last generation, top tier games. The ability to get these games accurately on a handheld is still massively impressive, especially if they look as good as those screenshots are, and those aren't just screenshots of the original versions over a 3DS logo.
@TheKidNixon: I just realized that MGS was a port of Snake Eater. Hopefully the new processor can handle the game in its entirety, and not like the usual watered down handheld ports.

I'm actually pretty sure that it's a spinoff of MGS3 rather than a sequel, but I could be wrong.

Ha, sorry just had to do it... "
Nothing quite this wacky, but there are some that I'm really sketpical about. Specifically, SSFIV3D (which, if they can make that game portable, my life is officially done) and this Splinter Cell game have a certain "Too good to be true" quality to them, especially for a follow-up to a DS.

Well, the DS has been known to steal exclusives from consoles, especially the PS3's DQ9.
If the DS could do that, surely a port from a 6 year old game would be kinda safe.
