The only things Nintendo have ever got right are Mario 3 and Mario Kart (the SNES version, not the N64 or GBA travesties). The DS continues the trend of suck. Wow! I can play games with a pen?! Cool, I can scratch up my screen (sorry, screens, I almost forgot about the perpetually useless upper screen) as well as having no fun playing "Wario's handwriting exam level C". Boring!
About the most fun that you'll have with a Nintendo DS is looking for the detachable pen that you lost 5 minutes into owning the over-sized sinking ship of an idea.
You know I'm right.
P.S. I've never played a PSP, but it can't be worse. So I vote for that.
hey, the DS has a microphone built in too.
..
well, they are making a new Super Mario Bros game(yes, mario bros, like 1,2&3)
and a new mario kart game.
and good news! the new mario kart game will be online enabled,
meaning you can play loads of people from all around the world.
for free. yes.
and i havent lost my stylus since i got the system,
and just incase i do,
nintendo packs every system with 2 stylus's just incase.
and if you lose both, like an idiot (:-P)
then you can buy them in packs of 3 seperataly,
or just buy a different stylus, whatever.
I haven't scratched either of the screens once.
and yes, i do play it a lot.
when the system is off, the top screen protects both screens
, leaving them unexposed.
As for having fun with the games, yes i do
the DS has loads of great games comming,
and a few good ones out already.
I own:
Super Mario 64DS (even better game then the original N64 version,
with loads of extras, play as 4 different characters,
30 more stars to collect than the original game,
mini games, extremely fun multiplayer.)
Wario Ware Touched! ( a great game!, short, yes, but it has infinate replay value.
its insanely addictive and fun.
basically play to make your high score bigger)
Yoshi Touch & Go (A very unique game.
Basically its just play to make your score bigger.
The multiplayer is awesome!
its an extremely challenging game.
get the highest score in the original 2 modes and unlock 2 more modes
, get the highest score in all 4 modes and unlock a special mini game
(which i still havent gotten yet).
Polarium (A great puzzle game. infinate replay value.
basically play to get your highest scores.
the game comes with 100 custom puzzles to solve
(which took me a very long time to complete! it really makes you think.
solve all 100 puzzles and unlock the credits)
and then theres the challenge mode,
where you just play to get your highest scores,
a fun thing to play whenever you're bored or whatever.
and the VS mode, wow, thats exteremely fun
.
then the greatest thing probally about this game is the fact that
you can create your own puzzles and give them to your friends
(or total strangers if you want) to try to solve!
thats like thousands of different unique puzzles i can try to solve,
all i gotta do i get the code from someone or from the internet,
whatever, its so easy.
and you can hold up to 100 custom puzzles
(that you or other people made)
so its basically like having those 100 built in puzzles again,
only a new challenge now,
because other people made these.)
Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt (well, this game is a just a demo of
Metroid Prime Hunters a game comming soon to DS.,
basically play to make your high scores bigger.,
the multiplayer is great!
i'm very excited for the full game to come out!
thats gonna be online too.
my most wanted upcomming games for DS are:
Another Code: Two Memories
Castlevania DS (a sequel to Aria of Sorrow for GBA)
Egg Monster Hero
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles DS
Final Fantasy III (YES! This is the real Final Fantasy 3, never released before in America,
and NOT the same as Final Fantasy III for SNES,
because the FF3 for SNES is actually Final Fantasy 6.)
Fullmetal Alchemist DS
Goldeneye: Rogue Agent
Kirby: Canvas Curse
Lost in Blue
Mana sequel(it doesnt have a real title yet,
but its a sequel to the Mana series,
you know, like Secret of Mana for SNES)
Mario Kart DS
Meteos
Metroid Prime: Hunters
the new Super Mario Bros.
Nintendogs (yes, a pet puppy simulator, but its doing great in japan,
and i expect it to do great in America too,
from what i've heard, its very good.)
Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney
Snowboard Kids DS
Sonic DS
Super Princess Peach
the new Tetris game.
----------------------------------
Nintendo DS is great, and is only getting better.

You really shouldnt judge it just yet, you've gotta try it.
