Post by: Fate on January 26, 2006, 08:54:18 am: That's the one I was waiting for. Didn't get a GBA until I got my GBASP, either.

Post by: Byte Man Zero on January 26, 2006, 09:20:05 am: I said it on CJ's board, and I'll say it here:

Leave it to Nintendo to believe that by cosmetically altering the Hardware, it'll dupe enough people into shelling out even more money to replace a perfectly good system they already own.

Sad thing is, it'll work, too.

Post by: Superyoshi on January 26, 2006, 09:24:22 am: No, the only people buying this are people like Fate. People who DON'T OWN a DS.

It only worked with the GBA SP. The backlit screen was worth the extra money.

Post by: Fate on January 26, 2006, 10:12:48 am: Not to mention that the GBASP battery life is fucking incredible. Also, the light is enough to act as a flashlight, which is pretty crazy.

I eventually did end up buying a GBA later for FF:CC purposes, but not until it was much cheaper around here.

I have used the back light as a flashlight many many times.

Post by: Yaminomalex on January 26, 2006, 12:12:15 pm: It was handy during Hurrican Wilma.

BTW, Nintendo loves making big things tiny. It makes you wonder. :?

Quoted for UNSPEAKABLE truth. Hell, I plan on trading up myself when it comes out here.

Post by: Mr. Fortune Cookie on January 26, 2006, 03:04:11 pm: DS has so many cool games. Phoenix Wright, Mario Kart, Sonic Rush...gawd I'm in heaven.

Even Ouendan is the bomb!

Post by: Killzone_Trooper on January 26, 2006, 04:39:17 pm: I can guarantee you that Nintendo fanboys will deffinetly do anything to get their hands on that little item.
Proving once again that a company can turn in profit if they have a small fanatical fan base.

Just to clarify though, I don't own a PSP and I don't plan to.

Trading up? Tsk, tsk, CJ.

Post by: CJMErl / Yami CJMErl on January 27, 2006, 09:49:53 am: Hey, I'd keep both, but then I'd have to deal with even MORE of my Mom's criticism.

Hell, I'm lucky as it is she lets me keep both my SP and my DS...and I haven't even TOLD her about the micro...
Title: Nintendo DS Lite
Post by: Monkeydog on January 27, 2006, 08:06:09 pm: I beileve, I may trade in the DS for this. It looks like it will be easier to use, since the DS's control system wasn't the greatest. The orginal DS is a bit...bulky.
Plus this may solve the touch screen issue.

Post by: Swiftman on January 29, 2006, 03:08:09 am: I'm glad the DS has SNESDS, it's a really cool emulator that's already out.
