Yeah; I was starting to doubt my decision about getting a DS, but after Kirby's Canvas Curse and AWDS, I'm pretty sure I chose right.

And Mario Kart DS, New Super Mario Brothers, Metroid Prime Hunters, the unnamed DS Zelda, ect ect... I have high expectations for this system now...


Just PRAY that Mario Kart DS dosen't feature support for the wi-fi internet network, or else I'll kick your ass and make you eat dust at it!

I like the DS also for it's nice multiplayer support. Once every month a huge group of Nintendo fanatics get together at a place and have some sort of a "Lan party" with DS and GBAs. Every month more people attend... And in other cities there are people making similar stuff, so the videogame itself is gathering people together. Now, with the other consoles, the OPPOSITE is happening, people stay at home and play at the internet connections the new generation consolers support, like they do with the PC games. Remember when you used to gather a bunch of friends and play videogames, and have tournaments and stuff? The social part of it is fading away, EXCEPT for Nintendo, it has always made games that kept the social part of it intact - I mean, look at the Mario Party series, Mario Tennis, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Goldeneye 64 (the BEST multiplayer ever)...
