I think there is a lot of confusion over what nintendo expects of games for the 3DS. First off, Nintendo states on their site and in numerous articles that 3DS games don't have to be in 3D and that 3D is completely optional, just like all the other features on the 3DS. So 3D aside, if NIS were to focus solely on game play features then a better disgaea game could be up for release but I wouldn't expect anything more recent than Disgaea 2, being that it is a PS2 title. I've seen PS3/XBOX ports but so far they look choppier than dis for ds.
I believe what really is driving nintendo to block off games to be released on the 3DS is profit. I assume they don't want the current trend in sales for the 3DS to end up like the Dreamcast (more like outcast). This sales trend is likely the reason behind why most companies would rather not get involved in such a poor selling product when something like a ps vita is coming out in a couple months.(even shovelware developers care about sales)
