It totally kicks ass. I love it!!!

So far I played Super Mario 64 and Feel the Magic XY/XX and they both rock but Marios the best of course. Feel the Magic is my brothers though and he lives at my moms (my parents are divorced) so I wont be able to play it much : -\

I also got Sonic Mega Collection on the xbox. For a sonic fan let me just say this is a must buy especially considering its only 20 freaking bucks and has every 2d sonic ever made.

(save 3d blast because thats on there and 3d but who cares lol :P that game sucked)

I like Sonic 2 the best and Sonic and Knuckles is cool too. Just dont play the Game Gear ones they are ok but they are stretched out and look ugly and it hurts your eyes.

Anyway back to the DS. Super Mario 64 amazingly looks even better than the N64 version. It just looks so smooth and not blocky at all. Its amazing that the ds is so powerful being a portable. Its like it almost skipped a generation ALMOST. Its not quite gamecube lol but its almost dreamcast powerful imo. Just wait till you see mario it looks great. Its also alot better. Theres more characters now but I only unlocked Yoshi Mario and Wario but my favorite is Yoshi. Its fun to eat the enemies. It reminds me of the game where Mario was a baby and you were Yoshi and you ate all the Shy Guys and you had a troupe of eggs following you :P.

The stretch Mario game is so much better now. He turns into a drawing instead but its better because the animation is smooth and its very accurate so you can spin his face around and mess it up. But thats not the coolest part. You can draw your own picture with the stylus and mess around with it. The one you drew yourself. Its really addicting lol. It might sound lame on paper but it rocks trust me.

Basically the gameplay is the same except for the characters each with their own abilities and a few other stuff like new stars. Its not really a rehash because it just feels different it looks crisper everyone has unique and different abilities and its just so much more fun.

The only problem I have is the dpad. Mario 64 was made for the stick it feels kinda funny with the dpad and you have to hold down X to run. Meh its not that bad but it kind of sucks. I can imagine it feeling weird with the other 3d games to come too. Even with the control problems its still great.

With Feel The Magic its basically a bunch of crazy minigames. They dont throw them at you or are so random like WarioWare and its pretty different. They are pretty tough and they all require the touch screen. As weird as it sounds the game doesnt even use the buttons or pad not even in the menu everything is touch. Menus are alot easier with touch though which is nice with the ds. Just poke what you want with your finger or the stylus and bam its selected no scrolling or anything. The microphone is used too but all the microphone games suck. In one you blow out candles and direct the flow on the screen with the touch. Its meh because you get out of breath soon.

One of my favorite games has you painting in shaped with a can of spray paint without going out of the line. You have a time limit and its alot of fun. Its also hard because you have to dodge objects flying at you. Again this is all done with the touch screen.

Its a nice looking game not technically but it just looks cool. Everything is bold and colorful and it has a cool style.

Anyway any questions about the DS and the games feel free to IM me on AIM or just pm me.
