Nintendo - 3DS vs DS??? Huh? - View Post

There's like three models of DS on the market right now, too.  The recently discontinued Lite, the DSi, and the DSi XL.  The 3DS will do well when there's a reason to buy one but for now, the value of the original DS library and the low cost of the system is what's stopping the 3DS. 

One thing I hate to admit:  Smart phone games.  I haven't bought a DS game for myself in a couple of years (despite owning six DS's).  I still buy PSP games but I barely feel like investing my time in full fledged games for the portable.  I've barely played Valkyria Chronicles 2 despite loving VC1 and buying VC2 on day 1.  The bite sized distraction of smart phones may be doing more damage than we think.......


Don't let those petty games distract you.  I just got two good used DS games on Amazon for barely over 30 dollars including shipping.  I for some reason didn't buy a Professor Layton game which I have yet to try but heard great things about them.  I am also interested in the Ace Attorney games.  Once the 3DS takes off even more I am sure you can find tons of DS gems for dirt cheap on Amazon.
