GBA doesn’t have a real Mario platformer of it’s own and DS had Professor Layton. I admit I stupidly missed Metroid and Fire Emblem, which were excellent, on GBA but that was because I had already given up on GBA (and GC) at that point.

DS was better.

If however you’re including the many ports on GBA it makes a much stronger case because then you’ll have to consider A Link to the Past, Yoshi’s Island and Super Mario Bros. 3. Is DS still better then? Not sure.

3DS and GameBoy beat both though, no contest there.
