Why I love my DS

Hello eveyone, I had a Gameboy and still have the GBA. Also have a Gamecube that

just collects dust while I play my DS Phat daily. Love the fact that I can take my DS

anywhere, even play occasionally during my lunch break at work. I'm 46 (female) and enjoy a

variety of games but especially enjoy games that stimulate my mind (at my age want to

keep my memory fresh, hehe). My DS games run the gamut from AOE Age of Kings, ANNO 1701;

Phoenix Wright, Touch Memory, Trauma Center; Professor Layton, Zelda Hourglass;

Lego Star Wars Complete Saga; Clubhouse, Touchmaster; Metroid Pinball; Elite Beat Agents,

GH On Tour and more. Love the touch screen (what an innovation when DS first came out)

most of my games are ones that utilize the stylus and find my hands don't ache the way

that mashing buttons does. Playing my DS takes me into a world of fantasy and allows

me to escape from my worries in life at least while playing. I would be content even if Nintendo

did not make another version of the DS. I will keep playing my Phat till it dies out and then

will buy a Lite. It's great that the DS is GBA compatible, with the Phat it's nice that my GBA

games don't stick out. The DS has met my expectations of what I want from a gaming device,

just to focus on games and nothing more. I realize some people which for better graphics

but I've been happy with many of the graphics on my games and feel that graphics are not

everything, but having a well thought out game can be even more important. Thanks Nintendo

for making my gaming experience an enjoyable one. I plan on gaming till I'm no longer on

this earth and feel age is just a number anyway, lol. I'm not sure anyone will read this post due

to the length but just wanted to express my happiness on why I love my DS.

I read the whole thing. I will keep paying video games when i'm old, age is just a number.

I like that the DS is portable, has fun games (New Super Mario Bros, Worms Open Warfare 2, and soon to be Kirby Super Star Ultra :) ), is not expensive, has great graphics (even though graphics are hardly anything compared to fun games) and has a touch screen.

My Blue Ds is portable, it has two screens. It has lasted me since launch day. It has a touch screen, good games and wireless connectivity. :)

The average gamer age is what, 32 or something along those lines? I think it's great!

I "love" my DS Lite, I absolutely "love" it.
