All are amazing, but the DS (Specifically the DSi) blows all the Gameboys out of the water.

I'm going with the GBA for it's original games and compatibility with GBC games. Man, I wish Nintendo was willing to go back to their no-gimmicks style of handhelds and make a new Gameboy. Didn't they say originally that the DS wasn't supposed to be a replacement for Gameboy?

DS Lite is an amazing handheld. I would consider it as one of the best systems of this generation and probably my favorite handheld to this date.

DS Lite (though I've only had the phat) DSi fails due to no GBA compatibility

That "third tier" stuff was a tried and true marketing technique. Instead of outright replacing your product, you claim they'll run alongside ATM. Thus easing public outcry and giving the company something to fall back on in case their new move fails.

After the DS proved popular it was a certainty that the Gameboy's days were numbered.

I'd be happy with a new version of the ds lite that also worked with every gameboy game.

The DS/DSi. The GBA was great, there can be no questions, but the stuff that the DS and the DSi provide simply blows all GBA/GBC/GB games out of the water.

DS Lite is the best nintendo handheld out.

DSi is just terrible - no GBA, shorter battery life and a $60 price increase. lol.

In the small time Nintendo DS has been out, I think it has done more than what the Gameboy has done in much of its time.
