Forums - Nintendo - IYO, how does the DS compare, games wise, to the GBA?

IYO (in your opinion), does the DS have a better selection of games now, in its fifth year, than the GBA did when it was turning 5 years old?

Obviously this question is for those familiar with the 2 systems´ libraries....the DS is my first handheld system, I had never cared for handhelds before it, so I don´t have an opinion on this, but those of you who own/owned both...what do you think?

Vastly better, although the DS has one flaw: No Golden Sun yet.

But soon...



 

 

the GBA has some AMAZING games but the DS has some truly masterful games and more just keep coming



DS beats GBA's line up easily, apart from metroid fusion/zero, mario and luigi: super star saga, golden sun 1&2, castlevenia and the mario remakes, the GBA had nothing on the DS's line up

It's much, much better. The DS is the best handheld console ever.

Does the DS have a 2D Metroid title?



@Montana

So the DS is getting a Golden Sun game?...this year or the next?



My GBA library was a lot bigger when I lived at home: right now my little brother has most of our shared games.

The DS's library kicks the living Hell out of the GBA's.

ok the GBA beats the DS on the 2D metroid department, other than that the DS is better

@Cougarman

You think it´s only a matter of time before it gets its own 2D Metroid?
