Thinking about getting a DS...

Yea I'm probably going to get mario kart and metroid prime hunters.

And does the DS bundle come with any games? I know that at it's launch it came with a demo of hunters... but I'm not sure that it comes with anything right now...which is weird to me because whenever I used to buy new consoles or something like that it always came with a game or two.

There are some game bundles out there:

I don't know if the Zelda bundle is still around anywhere but that would be another. These may not be much of a value though if those games aren't your thing.

DS>PSP.

I bought both, and the DS's multiplayer is superb compared to Sony's little disaster.

I recommend:

Brain Age 2 (Play the multiplayer drawing game! FUN!)

Mario Party

Mario Kart

Really, any game that looks fun you will probably get your $$ worth!

Except Nintendogs.

Alright thanks for the info.

Does anybody know how the single card multiplayer is on metroid prime hunters?

Care to elaborate?

I've had my DS Lite for a few years now and I play it every day... take care of it and it'll take care of you.

I've had no problems, nothing broken, and I jam on it pretty viciously at times. Old games like "Tetris" have cool new angles with the touch screen capability, and new stuff like "Trauma Center", "Brain Age", real-feeling swing mechanics on Tiger Woods, mouse-like precision on FPS like "Metroid" and "Dementium: The Ward", and puzzlers like crosswords and stand-bys like "Bust-A-Move" are really cool given the touch feature. Turn-based stratedgy games like "Advance Wars", Front Mission", and my personal fav "WarHammer 40K: Squad Command" are wonderful to play with the dual display for less toggling around to get your plan together... and "Race Driver: Create & Race" is one of the best racers I've ever played from Career to Online to making your own tracks with the editor. And again, to have that second screen with a real-time map of the tracks and positions is great... Mortal Kombat same deal, they list out all the specialty moves for quick reference on one screen while the action takes place on the other... great stereo sound separation via the speakers...

It's an entirely different experience from the PSP, and in my opinion it's every penny worth what I've put into it.
