    totally agree, I played new smb last night for almost an hour with my 360 sitting right there, I couldn't put it down.

      I have played 30+ hours of advance wars. Haven't played 30 hours of any 360 game, except maybe GRAW.

        I picked up a few games for my sons DS lite today at the mall, AW, the new Mario, Mario Kart, Metroid, and Brain age.


        This system between him, me , my daughter (Nintendogs rented), and even my wife (Tetris) is getting more PT than his PSP ever did.

        The Lite is a waaaaayyy better portable gaming (only) than the PSP ever was, bar none.

          Re: Nintendo DS Lite

          decided to pick up NSMB and Brain Age this past Monday when I was up at grad school for the week. Then...my DS ran out of juice on Tuesday and I couldn't charge it. Now that I'm home...it's charging!!

          LOVE Brain Age. Great concept and execution. You don't even realize you're playing a game. That's what I sold the wife on with getting the DS...the puzzle aspect and the extension the touch-screen adds to the games. I especially like the left-handed option for "backwards" people like me

          NSMB: What can you say? OLD SCHOOL BABY!!! I feel like I'm in 5th grade again when I got my first NES and had high score battles against my dad in SMB1.

          Welcome back to my heart Nintendo. It's been a while!

            Well, I picked up a DS Lite on the way home today because of all this praise. Got Brain Age and the new Mario Bros as well. My wife and I are going on vacation to the Grandon Canyon this coming week with her family so I bought it just it time for the plane and all the driving.

              Man I feel old. I started playing SMB in 9th grade

              Glad to see so many people loving to see the NSMB. It truly is great and a throwback.

                Old for playing Super Mario in 9th grade? You are young! I started playing mario when I was in kindegarten, lol. To me SMB reminds me of super smash brothers, which the NDS needs.

                  If bryan was playing SMB when I was in 5th grade and he was in 9th grade, and you were in kindergarten, and with me being 28 (29 next month), that would put him around 32 and you around 23-24. Who's the young one?

                  That's the thing I like about the DS. It goes back to the core of what made a game a game...fun factor, replayability, and enjoyment. Sure, the graphics aren't as pretty as the PSP or the media functions are limited, but it does what it does superbly and with a unique twist. I hemmed and hawed about getting the DS Lite at launch, and finally broke 1 week after launch.

                  Best gaming decision I've made in a while....

                        Haha, yah... if he was already in 9th grade when he STARTED playing the original Mario, and you were only in Kindergarten, he's quite a bit older than you.

                        I'm 23, so you and I are about the same age, and I remember when my brother got an NES, I thought Mario and Duck Hunt were so cool...

                          LOL, yeah I was thinking the same thing when he said that. If he was in 1st grade, and the other guy was in 9th, that's an 8 year difference to when the system came out. I was in 3rd grade when it came out, I'm 29.

                            So I pulled my bag out of my car today and my DS came flying out. It skidded across the concrete. Now it matches my cell phone! Still works and I don't care much about phone/portable electronics aethetics(sp) as long as they work

                              I remember getting a NES when I was in Kindergarten or 1st grade. It was the absolute best back then, especially not having cable back then. And 19 years later or however long its been, the darn thing STILL works.
