It's not quite retro yet, but it's outselling the Wii. When I first heard that Nintendo had made a handheld system with a touch screen I thought Nintendo was crazy.I never thought anything like that would sell, but boy, was I wrong. This system has more than won me over!
It's cool how you can draw on the screen to play the games. And now you can get a web browser for it!
With great games like Advance Wars, Metroid Prime, (Pearl /Diamond if you're into Pokemon games like me), Custom Robo Arena (an unheard of game that blew me away), etc, you'll be entertained for days.
The system is top notch, I've had my Nintendo DS Lite for about six months now and it still works great, and I love it as much as day I first got it.
The holder for the magic stick (thing) is awesome. And the backward compatibility is great if you have a favorite GBA game you just love.
On a scale of 1-10 I'd give this system a 10, but that might be just my personal opinion. (I've played the PSP and don't like it nearly as much. Too expensive. Buy a DS for less plus one or more games).

You can now play a scientist examining aliens like in the famous Roswell movie from the X-Files of the U.S. Army.
In "Alien Anatomy" you are fishing for the intestines in the gut of a green gum doll with a pair of pliers. Who knows what you will find? The introduction in extraterrestrial anatomy costs about US$19.95.
PAY ATTENTION! Hide the game if you have a visit from the aliens!

Anyone who has seen more than a few Star Trek episodes can't help but foresee the outcome of this vignette, which puts a glamorous (if not exactly beautiful) Starfleet gal and a studly young officer - neither regular crew members - on the bridge with Spock and Captain Kirk.
It's a scenario repeated in countless episodes: Kirk will bag the babe; the new guy will die. If Ken is one of the lucky ones, he might attain a higher level of consciousness through some alien transmogrification.
For the first time in his existence, he will lead the examined life.
Then Kirk will kill him.
That may or may not be a worse fate than adding to the galaxy's load of Kirk-sired b*stards - Barbie's future if she is fortunate.
The alternatives for characters in her predicament are a stunted life encased in bitterness, especially for those the captain spurns, or a painful end with Ken at the hands of the ubermensch Kirk.
In this context, Barbie and Ken clearly are cannon fodder.
