"How about YOU uses your money to buy something useful, like a seat in English 101?"
yes, you should take your own advice and learn how to read. BTW uses isnt a word its use
There is a distinct difference, I believe, between a typographical error and blatant ignorance. I believe you fall under the latter :/

FF6 on the GBA is pretty neat too. And that works on the DS as well

I bought my DS for Mario DS because I loved that game on the N64, it was an amazing experience. After a while I realized that the DS screwed me on games. I bought Yoshi touch and go which is a fun game to play with someone else. I also bought nintendogs because there is another great example of a time waster when you are traveling.

A game that caught me by surprise after months of waiting for a worthy DS title was Castlevania. Honestly if you have a DS and havent played that game get with the program! It is very addicting and it was worth the 34.99 price tag. Another recent game I enjoyed very much (and still do) is Trauma Center. Really shows you what the DS can do as far as touch themes go. Trauma, Castlevania, and Nintendogs are some of the best out there for the DS.

I do plan on getting Mario Kart DS today on my way home from the gym. Come on its mario kart multiplayer mayhem! They need to make a SSB game with the DS though, that would completely make any super smash fan go nuts.

Im not going to "Diss" the PSP because lets face it, its a powerful multimedia unit. Like a swiss army knife of electronics. Internet, Music, Downloaded Videos, DVDs, and games is quite a feat. Bravo Sony.

It comes down to what kind of games do you want to play. For a handheld I want something I can pick up and play quickly and have fun. The PSP selection right now just does not interest me. But who knows, I have been known to buy older systems and pick up some titles that only came for it. I like the DS quirky titles and of course some old GBA games like Golden Sun, Phantasy Star Chronicles, and old school FF games. That is what I look for and thats why I picked up a DS.

On a quick note, what happened to FF:Crystal Chronicles DS! I know me and a couple of buddies were waiting for that! Anyone have any info or links with any details?

We have had Mario and gang in our house since the first Nintendo system back in the late 1980's. Even though my kids have not played any of those games in years...I still can hear that gosh darn music/sound effects in my head....

No More Mario!

Ah, I had a wonderful experience with my DS today.

So I was eating lunch with 5 of my friends. All of us had our DS with us. BAM we got some 6 player Mario Kart action going on. 6 of us. 2 bots. We set it to teams so it was kind of even. I have stories that I'll be telling people for months.

I probably had one of the most intense multiplayer experiences right there. Easily the most enjoyable handheld gaming experience I've had. We had a big crowd of people around us wondering how we were having so much fun. We looked over at this table next to us... Two lonely guys playing their PSP's.

Before anyone can say, "WRAAAA I don't like the DS because it doesn't have a cheese grater" they must play Mario Kart DS. Neither of the two systems have had any decent games since their release, but after a year of waiting I'm finally getting my money's worth out of this beauty of a machine. I'll be unlocking characters and karts and maps for months. I'll constantly be racing against my friends in epic 8 person races that take a lot out of you both mentally and physically.

I'll wait until I see someone having half as much fun on a PSP as I was having right there on my DS before I say it can even compare.

And while waiting for the Harry Potter 4 premier (for 8 hours), I, or someone else, was playing my DS the entire time. The person with the PSP stopped about 3 or 4 hours into the wait. My friend that owned the PSP tried my DS, and it took some convincing for him to give it back. I just haven't seen people having good old FUN on their PSP yet. I don't know. I guess I'll wait and see.

Thanks....

And Link.. you Nintendo fools.. TP won't ever be released for your precious Gamecube, it will be a launch title for Revolution and half of the DS's games sucks!

in my opinion- PSP is better then DS( At the moment) Reason being- GTA LIberty City stories, Internet browser for PSP, and i like the design better. DS which i also have, i dont like much except Castlevania: Dawn of sorrows - which rox.. also DS's wireless thing is pretty much useless. I heard they are going to make a Zelda (RPG style-like ocarina of time) for DS, then DS will ROCK!

I'm guessing that you ignored my post because it was too long... But the wireless is anything BUT useless now. The Wifi was only officially started like a week ago... and calling wireless connection between peers stupid is like asking for a flashlight with a cord attached to it.

Like I said, Wifi was only activated a week ago. So why would all games instantly have wifi access?

nice thread guys
i have a ds and i was thinking about just buying a psp because im sick of looking around while in class watching all my friends secretly playing psp with their hands under the desk and eyes focused on pure gaming [because our teacher doesnt teach whatsoever] but thanks to this thread im going to go pick up mario kart ds , castevania ds, and another ds game tomorow at the store, i want them to make a very good rpg with the graphics of super mario world ds. [no crappy non 3d graphics].

but w.e, this thread inspired me to blow the dust of my ds, and its charging as we speak
DS FTW
[ or maybe ill just buy psp as well]
