            Well after a debating for a few weeks I decided to get both my Daughters a DS Lite(for Christmas) over waiting on the DSi. The GBA compatibility was too much too loose (for them). I am kinda unfamiliar with the DS so any recomendations for games that will be suitable for a 6-8 year old girl range would be appreciated(other than anything Disney they already let me know that). They are into Pokemon since they unearthed my old GBA's thats all they play,so diamond and Pearl will get purchased. Does anyone have any feedback on the other Pokemon games and would they be suitable for the kindergarten age range (ie. limited attention span and reading skills). We have a Wii and both love Cooking Mama so is the DS cooking Mama good? Diamond and Pearl are amazing games. I'd look for New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS aswell. Cooking Mama for the DS is also an excellent game.

           Secondly I also enjoy playing games with them and now I can not decide for myself if getting the DS Lite would suit me better or should I wait for the DSi. I have a PSP so that will still handle my Multimedia needs movies and such. I am could see myself downloading games or content. I have also seen things for the DS Lite that intrest me like the micro SD that fits into the game slot and can do some intresting applications. Really still not decided for me the battery issue is pretty significant but I would mostly be playing with them at home so not sure if that is as much of an issue. the screen size is a nice improvement  but it is still pretty small so no big deal....I still have a SP so backwards compatibility is less of an issue. Someone PLEASE help :P I'd definitely wait for the DSi. The possibilities of downloadable GB/GBA games with a possibility of Lynx and Gamegear games? Count me in. And if the battery is a big deal, you can replace it, I believe. But the fact it's also an MP3 player is a huge plus, well, for me. And since you have an SP, don't worry about BC.

            Lastly What kind of things can the Wii and DS do together. Anything like what the PS3 and PSP can do? Is it a game by game thing and if so what games? Thanks in advance for any help. The Wii has the Nintendo Channel where you can download DS demos. Uh..other then that..nothing too big. Animal Crossing: City Folk has some Wii->DS connectivitiy. But, other than that, nothing big. >>

By the way, get No More Heroes.
