It'd be funny if it was gaudy, but it's really not that big guys.

Mmm... that's right... work those circuits... I'll take a charge from that...

...I'm not looking forward to when the word "technophile" isn't just synonymous with the phrase "gadget geek".

All I see is all the extra space that could have been used for GBA hardware. Hell, they probably could have included GBC hardware in there as well.

I'm still on my original Electric Blue Nintendo DS, but I think I'll upgrade to this when it comes out. It's not like I actually take portable consoles with me anymore, seems the perfect lazy Sunday at home device.

..... with all that space they probably could have added support for NES and SNES

Still might just force me to get a DSi, I'm not one for super small screens and unlike a lot of this latest generation I suffer neither from ADD forcing me to carry a gajillion game carts with me at all times so I can play 30 seconds of each game in quick rotation. Nor do I suffer from an apparent crippling lack of pockets, allowing me to carry the one or three games that will keep me entertained with little trouble

Do explain.
Because, if you're reffering to "It prints money" money is cloth, not paper.

Well, since you're getting technical, money's actually a combination of paper and cloth, not just one or the other.

Yeah ours is plastic here in Aus too Anti-Villian, tho it obviously still bends and folds like paper. You can get it wet all day and it means nothing, its even colour coded for easy counting and identification.

That would be hypocritical. Oh wait, no, sorry, I confused that with "logical".

It would be counter-productive to waste resources on compatibility of an older platform. They don't make GBA games anymore.
There's already a GBA, SP, Micro, DS, Lite, and Player that let you play GBA games.

@BruniBrun
well, seeing as i'm the only person in the world who actually has a gameboy player still, and uses it, the argument about that is invalid, also, it isn't portable

Nintendo doesn't make GBA games but third party devs do.

Why is it counter productive? Somehow, I doubt Sony makes any money off of retail PS1 games, but they continue to keep the BC in the PS3...

How do people still care about GBA compatibility? I hope Nintendo makes a DS that's backwards compatible with the 3D0, Turbo-Grafix 16 and Sega CD but NOT the GBA. That'll show ya!

Has A Link to the Past been ported to the DS? Super Mario Bros 3? Final Fantasy Tactics Advance? No?

Then we need GBA compatibility.

Can't you just play those on your GBA?

Before you go debating over how inconvenient it is to have to carry two systems, do yourself a favor and pick which one you want to play and take that one, if it's such a bother.

Heck, my portables never leave my home.

The painting is interesting.

The top part is black, so is the inside where the buttons and screens are, but the sides and bottom are grey/goldish. Interesting.

Whoa! That's a huge bitch!!

Still, she's got more love to give than a slimmer smaller DS. I was just thinking, the grainy graphics are going to look less appealing on this larger screen than on the original DS screen, though.

I kinda dig it though, appeals to me in a mature way... odd, I find it.
