What ever happened to ergnomics, Nintendo? The Lite wasn't very ergonomic and the DSi doesn't look that much different in that department. The original GBA practically melted into my hands. I want that comfort back.
Now that i've expressed my biggest turn off on the DSi, i'd probably get one anyway because my Lite isn't in the best condition. However, I don't wanna pay all that money again.

The lack of a GBA slot isn't that big of a deal to me. I honestly can't name every GBA game that I've given away/sold/traded because I got either bored or outright frustrated with them. (With Pokemon Ruby, I got up to the Elite Four, lost, realized I would need to raise up a whole new team just to beat those guys, and gave up on it. I'm serious. XD) The only GBA games that I still have are Sonic Advance, Mario Kart, and Metroid Zero Mission. Although if it weren't for Sonic Advance and Zero Mission, I'd just sell my SP and GBA altogether, no kidding.
I've been reading more stuff about Daedalus, seems like development's been on hold for a while. Some have said it was more of a Proof-of-concept than anything, although I'm still curious as to how well it could handle OoT, have to look into it.
Eh, I need to quit assuming the worst possible things about stuff like this. I didn't even think Blaze was a good idea until I actually used her in Sonic Rush, and then she became the very reason I got into SRB2 character WADding. :P
I still wonder about the screen's durability, but I was definitely wrong about the case's. And who gives a crap about the UMD drive if you can just run "backups" from a card anyway.Chrispy said:

I already have a blue original DS. Why should I get this?

I have a DSi, and it is awesome! The browser is free once you connect to the internet, you get 1000 DSi Shop points once you log on, the camera works like and EyeToy (shown in WarioWare: Snapped) and all games work on the DSi without removing the save data. =D
Anyway, to agree with Dr. Pepper about the 3D Sonic game. But there's one problem, you can't release the game out in a box. You would have to put it on DSiWare so that normal DS users can't get it.

Not me, my "Onyx" (******* ripoffs) DSLite is plenty.

OH YEAH!
I honestly am not going to get it. Even though it's incredibly awesome with its online downloading and storing and a built in camera, it lacks backwards compatibility. My DS is like a rechargeable GBA. It would be nice if I could play color, but it's still pretty cool.
If SRB2DS is created, though, I'll buy it.

Where is the announcement, and are they going to start with the big-name titles or are we going to have to potentially wait several years for our favorite game to be accessible? What titles are going to launch with the downloadable GBA feature from the start?

At $169.99?!?!? You've gotta be kidding! I'm better off taking my brother's DS from him. At least that one's for free. (well, technically he paid for it)
EDIT:
The SP might be good, but I wouldn't bother with the GBA. I took mine to Game Stop and they only gave me $40 for it X(

Really? I need to look into that version of the emulator.Chrispy said:
Forty dollars? Damn, and I thought I'd be lucky to just get $20 out of my GBA, even though it still has the box/manual. :PAngelus_the_echidna said:
Or you could do what I've always done, and wait until preowned units run for a fair price. I've never been crazy enough about games to shell out hundreds for their hardware, or for the games themselves. (Unless it's a new Zelda game, then I HAVE to have it.)Angelus_the_echidna said:
Btw, it's great seeing you around again, Angelus! :D
Back on the subject, I think I'll just forget the idea of nabbing a DSi for now. I want to wait and see how third-party game developers make use of the new, improved hardware. If we get screwed out of prettier/better 3D games, I'm not gonna touch it if the upgrade isn't mandatory in order to play newer games. Possible improvements in the homebrew scene alone aren't enough to be worth the price of buying the system all over again.
Nintendo really should consider making their obviously-overpriced consoles upgradeable by the end-user. We haven't seen anything like that since the N64's Expansion pack.
There are ways of keeping DSLites/Phats from executing a DSi exclusive game, ya know. Ever remember trying to put a GBC-Only game into a Gameboy Pocket, only to see a message saying something along the lines of, "Only for the Gameboy Color, blah blah blah."? :P I did that once for the hell of it.

If you ask me it's a waste for gamers however if it were for like a family of people who liked taking pictures and stuff like that i'd be for them, other then that BIG waste of money it like saying the wii won't have virtual console but it'll have a little better graphics, IT MAKES NO SENSE TO BUY at that price.

Usually lurks somewhere.
I can't be the only one getting tired of Nintendo deciding they made the wrong machine _after_ they started mass production and selling it. I'm fully aware that it's not that simple, but it seems like consumers are doomed to upgrade their Nintendo handhelds for eternity, as the shape of the machine twists and turns into something that makes the people who caused Nintendo to actually turn profit on a device get left out in the cold, as the resale value of their machine dips with the release of the superior model. I can't help but wonder if Nintendo had told everyone "Oh, and by 2009 your DS Lites will be officially old hat, because we're making another DS then.", would they have sold that many?
I doubt it.
I doubt it.

We're talking as opposed to an SP, which my cousin sold one for nearly 70 to the same place, and I'm just thinkin "70 bucks for an SP? What the hell's a 13-year-old girl going to spend that kind of money on?"Dr.P said:
It's good to be back.
