    yes, the DS is awesome

    It's out- the nintendo Dual Screen (hence DS) portable. the wireless pictochat kicks ass, i tried it the day i got it with all the other people in the store. Metroid prime hunters will be awesome when it comes out, the control is tight and once you get the right setup for you, you'll be blasting metroids in no time.

    Mario64 DS- Imagine Super Mario 64, bigger, bolder, more stuff... a slight loss of contro, with difficult analog controls if you choose to use them (the touch screen isn't needed unles you plan on using it to move). Ive already found over 25 stars but with 150 to find and dozens of minigames to get, its a winner!

    I also got Asphalt Urban GT, the collision detection is sad and there's only one engine note but the arcade racing is fast and fun with the graphics flowing very smoothly the whole time. an average game but since all DS games cost $20, it was worth it.

    Wait...what's that? Games only cost 20 bucks o_0?!?!?!?!

    yes, it's true and that's the msrp for all DS games. The base unit is 150 and comes with the DS, 2 styluses, a wrist strap, metroid prime hunters demo, and the charger for the built in batt that gets an average of 8 hours of battery life if you use only the game and backlight

      Blah. My friend brought his to school. I'll admit the whole stylus thing seemed pretty lame at first, but now its seems ok. Seeing this just makes me want to get the PSP even more. Too bad it doesnt come out till next year though.

        Ew.

        Anyone who wants the PSP is a complete idiot.

        The DS is so much better. Awesome games, something new-2 screens+touchpad, lower price, etc.

          Is it me, or is there something mysteriously awesome about DS's power button?

            Im hopefully getting mine for Christmas. The game and the system look so cool. I played the metroid demo at Target and the graphics are great. The only problem are the controls. I couldn't use the thrumb strap at the store so I had to fool around with the stylus as a controller. Is the control ok in Super Mario 64 DS?

              I am hopefully going to import mine from The US depending on the import sites and how many sales.
              The US ones have already been sold out and some are held back till 2005. =(
              When the 16th comes hopefully I can get the US version or if I must the Japanese version.
              I seriously can't wait till my birthday for it

                I hate hearing about the DS because it just makes me want it more! But $200 ugh, I can easily afford it but I just got HL2 and my parents won't exactly be pleased with me spending an additional $200 on this now.

                How does the multiplayer system in Mario 64x4 work? Is it like you can do the entire game with 4 people?

                  Though I had some doubts, the DS is looking rather rad. Though I am going to wait for the PSP to come out before I decided which system to get (if I even get a system).

                    I actually saw the DS in action, it looks beastly. I'm not buying anything yet though- I'm going to wait until the PSP has had a chance to compete a few months, then I'll think about buying one of them, if they look good.

                              well, i believe the PSP could have a longer battery life than it is but the problem is the internals can get melted or warped due, i guess, to a lack of proper cooling. It's just too big for whatever sony is using to cool it. Maybe some vent holes or a bigger fan would work but these could compromise the PSP's looks- its major selling point and about all it has over the DS besides the screen.
