Late bloomer: got a DS

soundnvision · Jan 18, 2006

So i decided to buy a DS mario kart bundle two days ago.

It was odd at start cos of the obvious size/weight difference between the DS and SP, but now i've gotten used to it.
And even if the stylus might be a gimmick to some, i still love it (i guess the novelty hasn't worn off)

All in all it's a great machine IMO. Bought several games to go, and all of em have been great: Castlevania, Mario 64, True Swing Golf and even the Tony Hawk game (which btw beats the other console versions hands down)

Electroplankton is also coming my way, plus some addictive puzzle games. And tonight i'll probably buy Sonic Rush as well.

I probably should be asking "why did i buy this instead of a X360?". But somehow i just don't give a shit.

It's a bit weird really.

agreed....Metroid Pinball is one amazing game.

Sonic Rush is pretty good. Getting closer to the good ol roots of the Sonic Series!
Metroid Pinball is alright for me. Maybe its just because I suck though. Meteos is by far the best puzzler on the system, and Ive also got Puyo Pop Fever, which is pretty fun as well. Great system all around!

I might even dare to say the DS has the best good to bad games ratio of any system other than the Neo.

No, you really shouldn't. The 360 is overpriced and overrated. Maybe the situation will get better, but right now the 360's games are shit compared to the DS's.

I think the DS is the best system on the market right now.

This man speaks the truth.
If the Revolution is as good as the DS I might just skip the PS3 and X360.

xbox 360 is a piece of shit, maybe that's why.

ds are pretty cool especially for games like mario 64 man that game owns not as good as the 64 version but still wow. resi deadly silence
