Title: Nintendo DS

Had the system for a while now. Pretty nice little unit the touch screen is super sensitive. As other reviewers have said controlling Mario64 with the touch screen is tricky at first but you get used to it.

Also GBA games look great. The back lighting makes the colors really stand out.

I also like having two games in the system at once good for road trips.

i played metroid in the store and i thought it was horrible. you have to control where youre shooting with the touch screen, but that is also where your action is going on the top part is a map. so youre using your finger and blocking half the screen while trying to shoot things. i thought it was the worst idea ever...

Someone reversed the screens.

The idea is, the top screen is the action, the bottom is just a map and weapon select.

It really plays very nicely, and 4 player deathmatches are a blast.
