The DS is for gamers, period. There are a lot of great games available. If you want to play games is by far the best portable option.

 

what's the battery life?

About 15-18 with the least amount of light, and 10-12hrs with the most.

The DS is for everyone, don't worry about a new one coming out any time soon. Just buy one, you'll be happy you did.




Nintendo still doomed?
Feel free to add me on 3DS or Switch! (PM me if you do ^-^)

I'm thinking about finally getting a handheld, but I'm worried about two things

1. Who is the DS for? at $140 I figure I might as well spend the extra $20 on a PSP bundle

 

Ds is for anyone

Also here is a thread of ds games http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=222049. See what you like. If not much then I don't recommend one.

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
