You're quite correct about the gorgeous screen revealing details never before seen. There were colors in Animal Crossing that I never knew were there before.
It's also nicer to have the power/battery indicator light between the two screens where the orange indicator will be more easily seen. Most DS games I've played won't pop up a dialog warning you that the battery is low (as Animal Crossing does), so you have to rely on that orange light to make sure you don't lose power in the middle of a game before you've saved your status.
