Might as well wait to get the DS til 2005.

There's only one good game out for it right now: Mario 64.

A pretty sad launch if you ask me. Mario can only take you so far.

Playing Final Fantasy 1 & 2 on mine. Got a new DS and I'm playing a GBA game
on it.

Its better this way, by the time the good games come out I will be able
to easily get one and punks wont be able to rip kids off on ebay by
buying out stocks and gigging them.

Besides, people who want to buy a gameboy now can get the DS and play
GBA games instead of buying a SP and then having to upgrade later.

The DS launch was pretty low-key but at least it doesn't have the honor of
having the title of worst launch, the PS2 has that right all by itself.

Heh, who needs handhelds when you can play FF 1&2 on an emulator... I never
got to play these games way back then, wasn't an RPG fan until Mystic Quest
came out. But overall, its pretty hard game to put down.

I really wouldn't say this is true: GBA games look quite a bit better
on a DS than on an SP. That right there is a reason to upgrade (to
me, at least.) You get to enjoy your GBA games on a better screen
now, and you're all ready for the DS games when more of them come down
the pike.

And anyone out there who's still playing on an original GBA (pre-SP),
it would probably be much more economical to upgrade to the DS now
than to migrate through the SP, since I doubt the DS is going to drop
significantly in price any time soon.

And if you need a third reason: the DS is freaking sweet.

Actually...I don't agree - there are a couple decent games and more in the
next few weeks. Right now : Mario 64, Urbz, Mr.Driller, Ridge Racer (12/7),
Rayman DS (12/14) and Ping Pals (12/7) - not a game exactly but looks
interesting...

Of course there is also the fact that gameboy games look better on the DS -
but the DS does not support SP wireless connections or link cable so you
still need your SP if you are playing anything multiplayer.

Actually I thought Feel the Magic was pretty fun. It is also a great game
to show off what your new touch screen is capable of.

Did I read correctly, that Feel The Magic also helps unlock some
features from some Sega GBA games?

Not sure quite how to parse that. FtM has some easter eggs that unlock if
the appropriate Sega GBA game is in the DS as well. It doesn't unlock
anything in your GBA games; rather your GBA games unlock things in FtM.

That would make more sence. Thanks.
