This probably belongs in the System Wars forum. Both handhelds have their merits. I bought a DS Lite, but may get a PSP this year (I'm hoping for a price drop though) as well.

You are able to play online if you pick up a wireless router. The DS does not require the USB adapter to go online.

I just purchased my DS Lite recently. In the first 2 months of ownership, I bought 15 games. However, looking ahead at the releases that have been announced this year, I expect to buy 1 - 2 games a month.

i love old school castlevania and the new one for the PSP just dosent interest me xP Link_fan_316
Dracula X is a re-release of Rondo of Blood (along, I believe, with Symphony of the Night!). 1993 is still pretty "old school" as far as Castlevania goes...

In your Applications Folder there is a folder called "Utilities." Open it. Inside you will find the AirPort Admin Utility. Open it. If you have WEP enabled, look under the "summary" tab. There is something there called, I think, "network equivalent password." This is your WEP key.

If you don't see it, than you can try selecting your base from the list, clicking on "configure" (you will be prompted for your base station password). Next, click on the password icon at the top of the window. A window will open revealing your network equivalent password. Don't see anything?:

I'm assuming you are using an Airport wireless router. If you are not, then you may need to set your password to a hexadecimal string, preceded by a dollar sign, for example: $123456789a. Make sure Airport is on. Select "Create Network" from the Airport status menu. Click "Show Options." Select "Enable Encryption (using WEP)." The password you create is your WEP key. Let me know if you have questions...

Shin Megami Tensei (announced though I doubt it will ever come out) and Etrian Odyssey are my most anticipated RPGs. Mother 3 will likely never make it out here. Luckily you can import the GBA game, and soon there will be a full (unofficial) English translation/patch available.

It is good to see a game doing something a little different in terms of graphics. Has anyone imported the first game yet? I'm on the fence about ordering it myself. Is it difficult to play through the puzzles without speaking the language? Between this series and Death Note, maybe it is time to learn a little Japanese...

Well, actually it's called "Panel De Pon" in Japan. But it's basically Tetris Attack. It will have Wi-Fi, and a Japanese 4/26 release. Anyway, here's the news from IGN: Link: http://ds.ign.com/articles/766/766274p1.html

Nintendo better localize this to the U.S., or else I will sell my DS and buy more PSP games (just kidding, but I'll be ticked for sure).

ASK_Story
Sorry to monopolize this thread, but I just wanted to point out there is an English version of Panel De Pon that was released with the GBA cart Dr. Mario and Puzzle League

Tetris Attack was a Super Nintendo game based on a puzzle game called Panel de Pon (which first appeared for the Super Famicon system). The multiplayer vs. mode can get very intense and is highly addictive. It really isn't all that much like Tetris. For screenshots, description of the gameplay, history, open-source Java versions of the game etc go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_Attack

On the other hand, Tetris DS from what I understand, is still largely based on the familiar original version of Tetris (although there are some changes like that you can keep a piece rotating constantly even after it lands).
