You're going to be sorry.
At least wait till after the PSP comes out, not because I think the PSP is gonna be better for you, but because that's when Nintendo is putting out every half decent DS game.
See if you like those and then decide, right now the thing has nothing DS wise worth playing on it.

Iv heard good things about Meteos. Feel the Magic and Wario is cool for your stylus needs. There really isnt that much out for it right now

Zoo Keeper works really good with the stylus, as well. However, oddly enough, don't underestimate the minigames in Mario DS. They have some really cool ones in there, all using the stylus. Some of the minigames are full puzzlers. That along with Wario Touched has some of the neatest uses for the stylus. Some of them because you create stuff with the stylus (real time) and play with them. Like generating platforms, on the fly, or mazes or tracks for which things can navigate.
In a way, I have a feeling Yoshi's new game will utilize that aspect. An aspect where you not only play the level, but you have a hand in crafting or editing a level, as a part of the gameplay. Of course, I got the stylus for some unique stylus aspects, and also the japanese game aspects, of which it's still getting unique stuff. (The high japanese sales also seem to make me think we'll see some unique stuff before the DS is over). And for me, certain quirky stuff like Jump Superstars, have my attention. I'll probably get a PSP, eventually, but I've learned the hard way never to quickly jump on a Sony creation . I know I want to wait for 2nd gen (after the kinks are worked out), so I have a little more lone DS time, than some.

Nothing now besides Mario and etc. But this list is probably what made me keep my DS.

What I am really hoping for is a new 2d Metroid.
I'll just pick up my PSP and play that until the DS really gets fired up.

Correct, at least for right now.
There isn't much of a selection out there for games currently. Yeah, yeah, you can play GBA games on this thing as well, but chances are you didn't buy a DS to play GBA games. Best advice, wait and see.

Do you have to use the stylus? Will it register penis movement? If so sign me the fuck up.

Misstep
I gave Metroid a shot at the local EB store and wow, THAT was awkward as hell. I still don't understand Nintendo's approach with the dual-screen idea. Yes, having an ever-present map that doesn't overlap or generally interfere with the main game is nice, but is it really worth the trouble to add the second screen? Some of the mini-games in Wario Ware utilize it fairly well, but I'm still not sold on the system.
Not that I'm that big of a portable gaming fan (I did have a lot of fun with my Game Gear, however), but I'd surely recommend the PSP over the DS.
Leave it to Nintendo to lose their grip on the one market they've dominated for years.
Congrats, Sony!

Feel The Magic is pretty cool, it's just short in my opinion.
Wario Ware is fairly awesome.
Personally, I can't wait for Nanostray, Electroplankton, Pac Pix and a few other games.
Also, Zoo Keeper is a good game as far as control is concerned. It is, at it's heart, just Bejeweled though.

bah, got tiger woods 2005 and crystal drive 2005 today in the post
and neither support single cart multiplay
and whats more frustrating is that I can't see it written 'multi cart play only' on the box.. or instructions, not even in the 'multiplayer' secion..
oh well, its an average but fun single player affair, uses the touch screen well I think. the tennis game is ok. but its jpn text, and the simplicity of it leads me to think it does indeed have 1 cart multiplay, but I can't work out how, I've tried in the menu for ages, so maybe not, but a friend might buy it so we can play multi anyway

Then have fun waiting for Castlevania this fall...thats the only reason why I'm keeping mine. Looks incredible. Other than that...Nintendo has a killer product but the apps are less than impressive which makes the system a bit of a dud. When all the big name titles like Viewtiful Joe, Metroid, Final Fantasy, Mana, etc make an appearance (if they ever do) the system will be more than worth the price of admissions. Until then we'll see lots and lots of Mario/Kirby mini games and wave after wave of the now stale wario ware series. Yippie nintendo...
