The ds is amazing. I play it more than my home consoles, and love tons of its games.

But there are things that are bad about it. The thing i hate most is that almost all of its good game are super kiddy(like pokemon). The best is that its innovative and incredibly fun.

What are everyone elses opinions?

Games and affordableness and stuff = win. The only losses I can think of are that it has limited colors in the US, and the hinge cracks and scratches on the touch screen.

Best: It has a wide variety of games

Worst: If you're playing it at home a lot, many of the games are fairly short, and you run out of great games quite quickly.

BEST: all of the aforementioned awsome games that are, simply put, awsome.

WORST: waiting quite a bit of time for the 10 games for the DS that are must-haves, and any games after them (such as potential sequels and whatnot, ask me to elaborate on what these games are, and I'll be more than happy to)

Get a couple of RPGs (D/P, FFII, TWEWY) and you'll fine

BEST: Lot's of great games

Worst: My hand experineces lots of pain when I'm playing a game that requires me to hold the system with one hand and the stylus in the other.

um... he-llo? I already have those games (I hope TWEWY lasts long enough until my purchase of FF 4) and as for D/P... well I've grown out of pokemon really, though I might reconsider with the release of Platinum, if there's enough incentive.

anyway, if you must know, some of the games of the top of my head that I'd view as must-haves:

1. Final Fantasy IV

2. Dragon Quest IV

3. Dragon Quest V

4. Dragon Quest VI

5. Dragon Quest IX

6. Kingdom Hearts: 356/2 days (or whatever the obscure name is called)

7. Kirby Superstar... something (I know nothing of the game, only that I'll be getting it)

8. Chrono Trigger

9. Sonic rpg which could possibly be interesting

10. The aforementioned Pokemon Platinum (which I'm rather iffy about)

other than that, the rest would pretty much be sequels to existing games, such as a new mario or zelda, the next installment in the Ace Attorney Series, as well as the next game in starring Professor Layton

The DS lite D-pad does suck, the original DS has the best D-Pad I've ever played with...

For me...

The best: the games

The worst: cheaters on Wi-Fi

Worst:It takes 4 hours to charge and I'm guessing that there aren't going to be any good games coming out.

( I totally agree with you Jayson Guy. So wii_1234, do you seriously think that assasin's creed is a kiddy game? )

Worst thing - Hand cramps in near every game that makes use of both touch-screen and face-buttons to play (most of them unfortunately being GOOD games)

Best thing - All the exclusives.

good: the games,lots of different games, and what is more important ,continuations of the games of gba(unlike psp that has only cut down games of ps2)

bad:some games are not made for lefhanders or have an horrible control this way,the castlevania games are a good example breaking blocks on dawn of sorrow and controlling the sisters in portrait of ruins is horrible

The worst thing are the games that throw in gimmicky touch screen controls when they aren't needed(like the mini games in Drone Tactics and the seals in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow).

The best is that it has a wide library.

I dont think ALL the games are kiddy.But in my opinion, pokemon and zelda are kinda kiddy, and a few others. But there are still quite a few good non-kiddy games, like TWEWY.

And no. I dont think Assasins Creed is kiddy. I just think it looks like and plays like crap

How can you say that there aren't going to be any good games coming out?

I don't feel like listing the long long long list of good games that are coming out.

Best: Library and Variety

Nintendo has always taken risks with what they publish and allow to be released on their systems, and this is no exception with the DS. Although it can be tedious sometimes, and they might resent it (the fans/bashers mainly), it does pay off in the end that there is and always will be something for gamers of all kinds and tastes.

Worst: Battery

I play on the second lowest light setting, and for the most part play with sound low or with headphones to preserve power. I'm not trying to say the DS battery is junk, rather I expected more after the time they had to tamper around with the built-in battery technology implemented with the GBA-SP. I know there is also limitations to built-in batteries, so maybe my point is over the top. Regardless, I hope Nintendo finds a way to prolong battery life in the next handheld, because I certainly do not want to go back to the day of buying normal/rechargeable batteries (they die quick either way) :shock:.

I love my DS like a first son but i really hate the fact knowing that there is any game that i have'nt played for it yet. Still waiting for some new RPGs for it.
