Nintendo DS

[VoodooChild]

Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has bought the new Nintendo DS. Im thinking of buying one, but I am not sure if its worth the money.

What do you think about the DS?

It's got it's charms. I've played my friends. Though i'll be waiting for more games to come out first.

[Lindy]

There are no good, non-gimmicky games out for it right now, and none that I can see coming out.

Personally, I wouldn't bother.

There are no games I really want for it right now, but I should have one by the time Katamary Damacy DS and Castlevania DS are out.

[Shoden]

the "gizmondo" is supposed to be better than the DS or PSP so keep your money for that

[Yamaneko]

I'd only get in for Castlevania, but I'll probably just emulate it.

[Craig]

Wouldn't it be hard to emulate DS games, because of the touch screen? Or am I just completely wrong?

I will probably get it for FFIII. Hopefully there will be a price break by then.

Super Mario 64 for it is pretty fun, but I play it on my brother's DS.

But thats like what $460? Thats more than 2 PSPs speaking of which though I have a DS and it has potential as a system, but Sony has dethroned Nintendo as the handheld king it has movies, pictures, games of course, and loads of stuff and the quality of the visuals is awe-shocking and the game graphics are awesome, the picture is big and it has a analog stick, though that isn't too great, I say if you can afford both get both but (DS $150, PSP $200) if you can't get the PSP the others are too expensive and/or not as good (N-Gage, Gizmondo, etc). The PSP is the best purchase.

[Lindy]

Graphics quality, movies, blah blah blah.

It's all moot, since neither system has great games out right now, and the games that may be coming out are just not worth buying a stupidly expensive hand-held system for just one or two games.

That's something I will standby until the units drop to a decent price, along with the games, and at least 5~10 decent, enjoyable (that's enjoyable by my standards) games are released.

Graphics don't make a great game! It's almost everythign else. Besides, the PSP's battery life is horrendously horrible. I have a DS, and I play it with my friends at school, and use it to play GBA games, as well.

Same, but I play it on mine. I'm waiting for Yoshi to be out here in Europe, and until then I'll alternate between Mario and GBA games. I *might* get Mr Driller, but not sure about that.

I think the DS is innovative but at the moment the games released for it do seem too gimmicky or just not worth buying the console for. When there are a few more games out that would interest me, seem more than a gimmick just to show off the use of the stylus, and also seem like they are worth paying 29.99 each for, then I will definately consider it. Because I think it could be a lot of fun but the games are really what's gonna make my mind up.
