i'm playing warioware now, its so fun poking, drawing, slashing, and blowing in this game. This really has some potential. (Now to get "trauma under the knife"

)

Meh, I'd only get that game if someone gave it to me for free. It really encouraged the "gimmicky" feel of the DS. I prefer solid, plotful games.

Yeah I agree they need to get more of those out...
I have a titanium ds with mario 64 ds, metroid prime hunters demo, and starwars episode 3... thats it.

me too, I didnt buy the game. I got it from my brother when he found it boring.

I'm looking forward to mario kart, animal crossing, and a good "Full length" game, you know?

The DS games are pretty short. Sorry to say, even though I almost always got nintendo in a good state....
I looked at reviews, and the only good games right now i'm thinking of are Advance wars DS and mabye that surgery game (Though I havent checked that one)

A good future list for me:
Mario kart
Animal crossing
Metroid!!!!
The new super mario bros
MOTHER 3!!!!

Wait, wait, wait...Luc sorry to go off topic here but I thought you hated the way Nintendo is going and claim they will be the next Atari?

Back on topic, I have a silver DS (1st one to buy it at my local Best Buy), Mario 64, Spiderman 2 (idiotic game), Ridge Racer, Yoshi Touch and Go, Kirby Canvas Curse, and Meteos. I can't wait for Mario Kart either, and the online system. Did anybody else besides me receive a pink Kirby stylus from Nintendo?

My little brother has a DS, and I play it every once in a while. It does seem pretty gimicky to me, but my little brother (9 years old) loves it. I was wondering, if they ever plan on finishing Metroid Prime Hunters. Honestly, I'm dissapointed with both handhelds out right now, and that is why I have opted to build my own.

I do. I still like the DS, though. Esspecially since I got it for $60 from a friend...The DS is a fine handheld, in my opinion. Sadly, fewer people agree than one would hope. That's were that whole Nin/Atari comparison comes in. It's not about what I think, but the public in general.

So that thing that plugs into your computers USb. Does it take the Dial up internet connection that you plug into your computer and provide wireless gaming, or is it just using power?

im thinking it takes the connection, not just power. Like when I thought of having internet everywhere by powering my wireless Router to a 9 volt battery... (Needs an internet connection, duh!)

so i guess its a dumb question, just need a confirmation

If you want classic redifined version of old games like Dig Dug and such. Buy the classic collection for PSP.

Ah, ok. That makes sense now. Well in my area, there seem to be several people with a genaral liking towards Nintendo, so maybe I don't see that as much. I absolutely love the DS as handhelds were about to be a thing of the past for me until I heard about it. I was sick of out of date graphics (compared to home consoles) and games that generally sucked. I'm glad for the opportunity the DS gave me to interact with the game, and not just mash buttons.

I bought WarioWare when it came out, since I thought the original for GBA was great, but I was pretty disappointed. It really did seem gimmicky, and didn't offer too much more than the GBA version did. I think we're nearing the end of the "short and gimmicky" game spree, with some nice home console-worthy games coming out such as Metroid Prime and Mario Kart

Lucky you. I know only one other guy with a DS...
