The GBA is better.. slightly.

It's mostly because I think more GBA games are classics than the DS, but that's about 2 or 3.

Pixel Art can be fun.

I have 6 DS games...

I want a job. To make money. Which would be spent on games. But first I have to finish the Water Temple!

DS blows GBA out of the water, as far as I'm concerned.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

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

maybe after they finish with other M, but i would not be surprised if they save it for DS2 or whatever nintendo will call their next handheld

The DS needs more 2d Metroids games (like Konami did it with Castlevania) and also GoldenSun.

I loved the GBA, but the DS library is far far superior. It achieved a much broader audience, so there was much more and better software support.

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Wow, i don't think i've ever seen such a thread with nearly everyone in agreement, it's bound to die quickly:P

I don't have an opinion on that topic but i wanted to see what people think because I am considering buying a DS.
