The DS is not for everyone. I absolutely adore my DS, but even I know there is at least one demographic that wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole and that's the graphics whores. The DS was made for people that love retro gaming, who grew up when 2D gaming was still popular and have wished it back for the last 15 years. The DS is a dream come true for these people, including myself.

 

I don't need intense graphics on my handheld, but I do need deep and satisfying gameplay

Ok, one more question. Do you ever long for a return to 2D gaming that was present on the Genesis and SNES? If you answer yes in any way, I have to wonder why you haven't picked this bad boy up already.

Here are the best things about the DS.

-Most games have a single card link play which means you can wirelessly play games together but only one person needs to actually own it.

-Pretty good online multiplayer. Not quite PSN or Xbox Live but better than the Wii.

-Most importantly, a better gaming library than all three current consoles put together, in my opinion of course.

-Very well made hardware and portable enough to go in your pocket.

-You can do all kinds of cool things I can't mention on this site with an R4, which costs just 39.99. Google it if you want to know about it.

 

 

I'm afraid I've never experianced the 2D gaming that was present on the Genesis and SNES but I did love my old 2D GBA games
