Ooooh yeah. I don’t think I ever mentioned it here, but I gave in to peer pressure and got a Nintendo DS Lite a little while ago.
The last thing I needed was another gaming system, so I was fully expecting to get a gut full of buyer’s remorse. Luckily that never happened! It may not be as powerful as the PSP, but the DS has great games galore and it’s totally fun.
I’ve been playing Mario Kart, Tetris, Wario Ware, Castlevania, Brain Age, New Super Mario Bros, Metroid Pinball, Meteos, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney…the list of A+ titles goes on!
I think the key is to wait for a game system to establish itself with a big library of games instead of early-adopting. In the case of the DS it’s been two years since that thing hit stores, and now there’s more great games out there than I know what to do with.
The GBA SP still wins for being the most portable system ever made, but the DS Lite is a close second!
