yeah but before they had 2 screens for a good reason, the screens had fixed backgrounds and stuff and you couldnt scroll the screen. the issues they had in the early 80s have been solved now. so the second screen on the nintendo is not as practical or should i say does not serve an important role as it did on the game & watches. having a map display all the time on the bottom screen is not really a big deal. on mario kart on the SNES there was a map plastered on the bottom half of the screen and i always wished it wasnt there.

now maybe later on some publisher will come out with a good practical idea for the bottom screen , but till then i dont think it will be a big plus.
