It has only just come out with a few nice games and with a killer line up ahead. I'll grant you, as great as Another Code, Touch and Go, Mario 64 and Wario Ware are... we have yet to see a true killer app (Meteos a little)... would be nice to see Nintendogs soon.
I don't have a DS and probably won't get one for a while. The GBA is still by far the best handheld on the market. But there is a lot of promise for the machine, don't disregard it when it hasn't even been out half a year.

Glad I'm not the only one who appreciated it. Fantastic game.

Without a doubt. I still play it actually. On the SNES. Whenever my cousin comes down we have tournaments and the such. Sensible Soccer is truly what gaming should be about. Fun. Highly addictive, finger blistering fun.
Apart from the "Tales of" series by Namco as that the battle system they use for that is Real time.
The good old days on the mega drive.. nice.
Also, Mega-lo-Mania might work well, maybe get some use out of the touch screen too, since the pad-cursor was a bit lame.

Vagrant Storey from ps1 would be good.
I think Nintedo were expecting people to be craving after next gen handhelds and were cashing in on people wanting to experiance something new in handhelds until PSP/Gizmondo came out.
Seriously look at it, it's awful and uninspiring, and just to hold the damn thing causes cramp because of its unergonomic shape.
Sorry to slate it, I know there are some die-hard Nintendo fans out there and I used to be one of them, i'm just disappointed at the complete waste they have made of the DS when if the right games came out it could be a killer of a handheld.
in my mind its a one trick pony and needs to be bolted :'^(
