Simple thread, I want to hear what RGT has to say about the console. I'll be up front, I'm writing a article on the DS and I want to hear what the people think about the handheld, it will help me to write a more concise article.

I never actually owned a Nintendo DS but I did play on my cousins ds once during a trip and I've emulated on DS. From what I can gather, it's a good console even for it's time and up to today, the introduction of the pen to control certain aspects of the DS including certain games is quite unique, but it can be a bit of a hinderance for some games on the DS. The portability was pretty cool as well, the fact you could just take it out of your pocket and start gaming is cool and I really like that about the console. This is mostly my personal opinion, I think the DS is a solid console, I'd give it a good 7.5/10, a truly memorable and nostalgic console.

never owned the original
my sister had a lite but barely played it

dsi, old 3ds, new 3ds, 3ds xl ... yep those i still or had owned at some point


lol ... no pun intended here ... i forgot how light the dsi was compared to current smartphones !
i think what i really liked the most out was just the simplicity of the design and along with other things ... yes !

It would be better if 3/4 of its games werent shovelware

The DS... Is no better than a PS1, probably weaker, weak 3D graphics abilities, two screens (or one screen cut in half) and is too damn small.

That's my overall review.

when i was young my two older sisters had 1 but years later I got a 3ds and not one year ago my great grand dad gave me his DS light.

My opinion is it was alright, more of a gimmick than it was worth imo though, the games were generally pretty good though.
Pain in the ass to emulate though, not due to difficulty, but due to the dual screen's making it really suck for emulation.

Right, got it. Thank you for being honest, I was looking for a time frame to make sense of your great grandpa having a DS Lite lol.
Keep that DS Lite close to you, it will favor you well over the years to come...

New 3DS as in, a new one or a "New" 3DS?

Taughts on it ? One of the best handheld ever with a big library of dang good games and my favorite series started there. But also be able to play GBA games making the library even bigger.

Also today as a retro gamer a NDS is cheap like 30-40 bucks compared to 200-300 bucks for a 3ds and yes that what they go for in my country.

The ds was my first console, I loved it so much, although there was a lot of shovelware for it, but it was good fun. I remember my sister letting me have a file on her Barbie dog game, but I only got to have the lame dog which made me a little bitter. Also played a lot of the Littlest pet shop games. (Some great games on there too of course, like “Locks’ Quest”)

I was more attached to my 2ds, yes a 2ds the ones that don’t close because I wanted one of those instead of the 3ds because the 3D hurt my eyes. Looking back I think it was ridiculously simple of me, I even knew I could just turn it off.

I love the design of the Ds/3ds it was so disappointing when the switch was released, it was baffling to me how big it was; How they took away the second screen. I still would have liked something closer to the Ds but there’s no point to dwell on it.

Simply put, I think the Nintendo did a WHOLE lot more than the Wii in so many compartments. Sure, the Wii had a more family friendly, and larger audience, but the way this console brought up lots of various games and communities of all kind, is truly astonishing. As much as I love the Wii and it's games, I think this console is still one of the best Nintendo has made.

I loved my DS Lite! The screens are a bit small but the games were great and the form factor - so pocketable! When I was in the Army I used to take it with me out on training exercises out in the field and get some playtime in when we were on standby.

Still, hardcore!

It would be better if 3/4 of its games werent shovelware

with around 3000 games, that's still a batting average of 750 non-shovelware games worth digging into.

that's a better library than MOST consoles.
