Should I buy a Nintendo DS, or will it disappoint me?

You bought a DS, hoping that'd Earthbound would come out for it? O.o;

There are plenty of awesome games on the DS, it's just what you prefer, really. If you want to emulate PS1 games and play some racing / fighting games, then get a PSP. If you want some all-round fun games (imo) like Mario, RPG's, GBA games, and intuitive games, then the DS.

And if you want to watch movies, get a DVD player; if you want to listen to music, get an MP3 player.

The DS is essential for any Final Fantasy fan! Unfortunately, Crisis Core, Dissidia, and other Square games are PSP exclusive :kaocry2:

Buy both.

I know Im gonna have to someday.

No, you're right. The screen is too small. You should steer away from this handheld.

Ive had my DS for ages now, and I still adore it. Im lucky enough to have a nerd of a brother who is constantly buying new games though, and he even imports some from Japan.

I reallllyyyy want Hotel Dusk atm. I got Another Code and loved it.

I think asking the question "Should I get a DS" is kinda pointless nowadays. You should know that everybody on a forum is going to say yes already. And rarely you'll get the someone who says no but there usually dug into the ground by others fans for saying so. Your the only one who'll know whether you'll like the system, so do your own research.

I think the DS is a system easy to recommend though, the systems library has hit all posts really, every genre is covered, some more than others but there you go. Its hard not to find at least one game you like.

I'm posting this because I'm buying a Nintendo DS this fall. This fall the top two Nintendo DS games are Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings(October) and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass(probably November). I'm buying Nintendo DS for FF XII: RW. Please note that rpgamer.com has a release calendar

Release Dates

Select Nintendo DS and select All in Usa. Nintendo DS has released top rpg's and will continue to. Watch out for Front Mission 1st this fall, which I could get possibly. Oh I'm also buying Xbox 360 this August for Blue Dragon(August 28th) and Lost Odyssey(October). Mass Effect for Xbox 360 was delayed until January, I will play that also.

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XII, Rogue Galaxy, and will play Alundra 1 after this. :)
