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).
