This has so much potential.

- microphone: for all you singers
- touchpad screen: let's you poke it... with the
- stylus: can be used as a weapon
- wireless multiplay: can be used over the INTERNET (aka play someone in africa)
- foldable design: protects the SCREENS (less smudges/scratches)
- rechargable battery: no more wasting batteries
- bundled pixtochat: think of AIM, except with 16 people
- 10 hour battery life: better than PSP, unless PSP has a battery the size of a football
- can play GBA games: but not GB/GBC
- organizer: can function sort of like a pda
- N64 power: mario64 in your hands
- 149.99 price: okay price
- DID I MENTION IT LOOKS SEXY

i'm too poor to get one, and if i did, i would be too poor for the games

Bull . The price will range up to 200 bucks, which is more than the Gamecube. And I've never been a fan of gameboy anyway... Well, at least not since 4 or 5 years.

Double-fun is just a stupid arguement . Dual screen will probably just be harder on the eyes! Same arguement! 2x screens, 2x teh damage!!1


Looks cool, quite honestly, though.

The DS looks really weird. A couple months ago, I got a EGM monthly magazine that had an artlicle on the DS and the PSP. It included some reviews, and it said that the PSP had more strengths than weaknesses, so I'm going for the PSP. You have to admit, the DS sure is a show of imagination.

Where did you get the "Big" picture that takes up so much space? I'm pretty sure they don't get that big...

Holy crap that is a big pic.

I think the DS looks awesome, I've seen some screens, look like the graphics are somewhere between SNES and N64 grapics with polygons! They are making a remake of Mario 64, and possibly a remake of Chrono Trigger.

I've heard the PSP has awesome grapics, but runs on discs, which means the batterys will die fast and it might be a heavy "portable". Then again it doesn't matter because Nintendo has controlled the portable gaming market for over 10 years. A system may just own Nintendo's portable in sheer technology, but the Game Boy has always been king.

That is the weirdest game system i've ever seen, besides it cost a lot. If they come out with some good games and it drops in the price range i might get it. Knowing nintendo though they will remake a lot of their old hits.
You gotta understand people want new things they can't just keep making games over and over again...sooner or later they are gonna have to stop takin old things and start addin new ones.

I've got a question:
Isn't it an SP with an extra screen?
I think so, nintendo and they're money making schemes.

It's not an GBAdv. SP with more screens
The Sp has the power of about that of a super nintendo
This will have the power of about N64

It is quite costly $200 at the least and I don't think I'll get it.

well it has a touch screen and dual screens but I think the price will be between 150-200$ and i better start savin the pocket change to get one hahaha. anyways I'd rather the PSP only since sony has been in the hand-held/durability/compact business longer then nintendo has...and it has the internet and the power of a ps1.5 (i made that up)

HMMM DS I might buy it i heard you have to use your fingers to use as a antagol stick... and the buttons might be hard to press i heard... And problems with looking at the both screens at once... I don't think i'll buy it...

I'm lookin foward too PSP which has online play,nice graphics,nice buttons,and a antagol stick! I'll buy PSP instend

How has sony been longer in the handheld gaming business than nintendo when this is their first hand held system out?

Your fingers as the stick? Did you see the picture? YOU GET A STYLUS (aka the white wand)!

The buttons hard to press? How have you heard that when it has not even come out yet. Did any of the gameboys have button problems? I'll leave you with that.

No game will FORCE you to look at both screens at once. One screen will obviously, be the main screen for playing, and the other will be a secondary screen like a map or inventory. It's like having the computer monitor as one screen and the keyboard as another.

DS has online play. The fact is, the DS can do whatever the PSP can in terms of features and gameplay, not graphics. The PSP however, can NOT do the same because of it's single screen. Besides, the foldable feature PROTECTS BOTH SCREENS. The PSP will get smudged or scratched if you are taking it out of your pocket and one of your fingers HAPPEN to touch the screen. The PSP will cost around 300 dollars, possibly more.

The initial price will no doubt be inflated to possibly 200 dollars. I would wait until the price drops to the original cost which is 150.

Guys, Nintendo has been THE game system that has revolutionized gaming throughout the years. They introduced the concepts such as the RUMBLE PACK, which is now standard in every ps2, gc, and xbox. They created the platforming genre with Mario. They were the first company to have a system with 4 player slots. Even though it's weird, I'm going to give them a shot because who knows, it may be the next big thing.

Graphics aren't everything. Maybe that's why people still play SC instead of WC3.

No, Nintendo has tried to introduce new games in their old series, tried to bring new life to them, and people just bash them for NOT recycling the same plot over and over again. Take LoZ: The Wind Waker and Super Mario Sunshine, some people just hated them because they tried something different than just the regular plot. Sometimes you gotta stick with what you know will sell; remaking games, and remaking them very well, no matter what people say.

Mario Kart for game cube pissed me off. They added battle modes, which was cool. But the maps were totally lame. If they would have just had the regular old maps, I would have been more content then having 5 new crappy ones. What would have been so hard as to add the orginals? Grrrr...

Even the maps for super smash brothers were a bit lame, but not as bad. Still, the orginal maps pwned the new ones.

This looks awesome

Too bad I won't get it. I never liked mobile console. They usually have kids games.

Xbox rules!

Woah. I heve not been up on current news. The Nintendo DS is sooo cool. I'm too poor to afford it. I have free 56k internet. I used to have free 14.4k, but then I upgraded. I have waffles for dinner. Anyway, I have a job, so maybe I'll be able to buy it in like 5 years. I want that thing sooo badly. I think I like X-box more (I don't actually have X-box). If you see someone playing the Nintendo DS that you can try out at the store, that is me.
