Today I bought myself a Nintendo DS, and Super Mario 64 DS! The games are so tiny, they almost look like an SD card (just with more pins, wider, and thicker). Anyone else getting one?

yeah I got it........It's great

!!!!!!!!!! I have Super Mario 64 DS and Madden 2005 (I like football videogames but I never watch football games and I don't usually play football...). also, of course, I have the Metroid Prime Hunters demo, which is great, but I've already beat everything there is to do in it!!!!!! Hopefully I can find someone else with a DS so we can battle

!!!!!!

I got mine today with Mario 64 too. I must say that the touch screen works very well in both Mario and Metroid. The graphics are better than what the screenshots lead me to believe. Very smooth. I hardly notice that the textures aren't bilinear filtered.

One thing is that I really had to ram my GBA flash cart in there to play PocketNES on the DS, and I actually have to pry it out with a screwdriver. PocketNES still works great too.

I'd say the graphics are a tad better than N64 graphics. Of course, the resolution is considerably less. But the rendering is a bit better.

So far, I haven't seen any mention is the manual or any instruction booklet about playing and game over the internet through Wifi. It seems that you can only play with people in the same room as you. If this remains true, I'll be kind of bummed. I really would love to play against people anywhere in the world.

well actually i heard from a lot of people that nintendo is considering to go online with nds i sure hope they do.....oh yeah and the touch screen does that get scratched with the stylus and is the stylus just a plastic touching stylus or is it a real writing one?

Both Mario 64 and the Metroid demo have options for using either hand.
