There are two types of 3D TVs - those which require active glasses (which use LCDs to alternate between clear and black in sync with the image displayed on the TV) and those which require passive glasses (both images shown at once and the glasses filter one out, like the movies). The 3DS uses a different method which doesn't require glasses but doesn't work for bigger screens. When I buy a 3D TV I'm going to go passive 'cause the glasses are much cheaper, don't require batteries, and there's no headache inducing flashing.

 

Speaking of bigger screens, Nintendo has announced a 3DS XL with even larger screens for ~US$200 and include New Super Mario Bros 2 for release in mid-August. (I don't know if the C$ price has been determined.)

 

And although there is no 3DS version of Super Mario Galaxy (available or scheduled), Super Mario 3D Land has some similar gameplay.

A bigger 3DS screens? I will check it out.
