    It plays 2D and 3D games and also plays GBA games and alsoLAN capabilities so that means I can play PC members :badsmile:. I wonder if there is going to be a fee for the LAN.
    I though I might get this but it looks great so I will get it.

    Nintendo DS is really getting me exceited, with all the features and everything this has I just wonder how it will sell. And if they decided to keep LAN capibilites when its released, I just hope they won't charge a fee, even though it would be a pretty good money making idea. (Just imagine if it was for Gba/SP)
     
    Yeah, can't wait for it to come out. I wouldn't mind the LAN fee, assuming there is one. Doesn't look that ummm...stylish.
     
    I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but I'm a bit skeptical about the DS...it looks very innovative, but I think nintendo is being a bit too ambitious with their new system...I have this bad feeling that it's going to go the way of the Virtual Boy. I admit it looks great, but I have a few problems with it...for one, with Super Mario 64X4, I think this is an indication that this system is going to focus more on multiplayer games than one-player games, which is bad news for me, because there aren't many gamers around me...I think half the games made will be instantly useless to stranded gamers. Another problem is simply that the DS has too many frills...the IM-ish features are sort of unneeded as is the touch-screen technology...I've always found touchscreens to be hard to use, even with the use of styli (is that the plural of stylus?) and this could affect gameplay negatively because the second screen will potentially be supersensative...and the second screen is absolutely useless...if somebody's too lazy to toggle to a map screen or to an item screen, then that's pretty sad. The wireless feature is nice, and I really don't have a problem with that besides the aforementioned stranded gamer issue, but that has nothing to do with the hardware itself, just the person using it. If nintendo is so worried about the PSP, I have always said that nintendo simply needs to do two things, those being a decrease in the price of the SP, and a wave of new, innovative GBA games. With any true handheld gamer, quality, not special features, will keep them coming to a certain company...if nintendo were to improve upon the GBA itself instead of expanding into a costly and unknown area, they would still hold their own just as they always have...now this gives the PSP a chance to instantly bury the DS and Nintendo will be out hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing...I'm excited in a way about the DS, but I can't help also being very concerned.

    Well, I guess we'll never know until it come out!

    Admittingly, even I, being the die-hard Nintendo fan I am, was a tad bit skeptical about the DS.

    "What's the point of a second screen?"
    "Could it be a gimmick?"

    I'm glad to say though, that the DS really impressed me at E3. Like LiquidThunder, I was always planning on getting it, but I was never too excited about it. Now, it's one of my most anticipated gifts for this Christmas! (If I get it hehe)
     
    Yeah, I'm just worried about one thing, the game library. I mean yes it's backwards compatiable with the GBA games, but still Sony already has 99 3rd party publishers support for the PSP as well as 45 game titles ready, while Nintendo is taking the same a somewhat same approach to Sony in the area of developers for new games.
     
    The thing I hope they didn't forget on it was a light (I bet they did).

    Like Kairi or Lightning said (can't remember who said it) Nintendo does a lot of firsts and does things different. Nintendo came out with the first handheld, on the GC it was the first to have the mini CDs, on the SP it was the first to have a handheld to fold and have a lighted screen and the DS is the first to have two screens. Will the DS turn out as good as GameBoys or the GC or even the SP (I don't think nothing can out sell the SP)? Well we will just have to wait and see how the DS does. I'm going to get it for my birthday so I will see how it is.

    I think it does have a backlight...I might have read that at the nintendo website. That'll be one redeeming feature...

    Inteasd of backlight, they put a frontlight! It is really better ^.^
    Humm... waht about Animal Crossing DS? >=3 I always wanted a portable version of AC!
     
    I was so skeptical about the DS, I thought it would...I'm so glad I was wrong...

    PSP third parties- 99

    DS thir parties- Over 100

    PSP opening games- 45

    DS opening games- over 40(which prolly means about 43 or 44)

    So nintendo has a nose over that...but Nintendo is coming out with a bunch of the true title games, like Metroid and Mario and Zelda and all that jazz...

    BOO ya!
