Why Do YOU love the Nintendo DS?

Myself, I like the controls and how it's portable. As well it's a nice break from the constant torrent of FPS's plaguing every other console.

Actually, FPS is lacking in the DS, so it would be nice to see an FPS in the DS. I love the DS because of the library of games. Especially the upcoming games coming out this year.

Because of all the awesome games.

I love the DS because of the games. The same reason anyone should love a gaming console / handheld.

the game library is pretty good but i just love the design and what not, especially the cameras!

It allows me to play Phoenix Wright and Ouendan.:P

A large number of great RPGs that I have missed. I can also just relax in my bed and enjoy it. It also has TWEWY which is an amazing game!

I enjoy the games and the portability of the console. It is easy to pick up and put down during breaks/lunch at work.

Mainly because of the RPGs for me. I like the games they have for the other genres, but the RPGs are what made me think it was worth it beyond the few games that I originally got it for.

DS- I love how flexible it is. With a good dev, it can handle almostevery genre without a hitch.

DSi- It's even more flexible and with the improved hardware, every genre is within reach. The DSi Shop is pretty sick too. I've heard that devs might even be releasing DLC for games soon.

The stellar library.

I was seriously just staring at the DS section in gamestop forhalf an hour because I couldn't decide which awesome titles to get. THAT is a feeling I'm not used to haha.

Quick load times, long battery life, easy pick up and play titles, easy to protect the screens, very portable.

Take it on the go, awesome games.

It's the only system I could get the Dragon Quest 4 remake that was promised on the PSX. We were supposed to get the remake, but it never came out. Then some years later it was released on the DS. I wanted a copy, but was kinda upset that it was on a handheld given my previous bad experience with the GBA. I thought, "no, I'll never be able to see what I'm doing." But I tried the DS and found I could actually tell what I'm doing. The screens are backlit and very easy to see. But I decided it would need to have more than one game I wanted, so I also checked out the library and found it had a lot larger variety of titles than any of the other consoles (with a lot of games that look like I've played many times before). But the DS could possibly have something the others don't. And I figured the touch screen and dual-screen aspect would add something extra the others couldn't provide. Now there are a lot of other titles I'd like, but Dragon Quest 4 was the catalyst that started the whole process.
