Welp, my bro and I got a Nintendo DS for Christmas. I will say, the touch screen takes some getting used to. We got Super Mario 64 DS along with it, and I still havent quite adjusted to playing it without analog control...and the thumb pad option I might have to play around with more later, it just seemed to akward at first. Anywho, the real reason I made this thread was to talk about my cousin and his girlfriend who got to try it out on Christmas with us. My cousin is 27 and his GF is probably around the same age...he started playing around with Mario, and was really impressed with the graphics...I remember I was sitting next to him while he played, and I remember him muttering under his breath "Wow" seveal times...he then played the Metroid Hunters demo for awhile, and was so impressed he showed it to his girlfriend, who was hooked instantly. She was talking about how the reason she dosent like Halo 2 is because she can never get the aiming quite right, and said something along the lines of this way it is much easier, more along the lines of a PC mouse. Anyways, she played that demo nonstop for at least 40 minutes. The moral of this story is, I now see the DS as something that actually could appeal to people that might not ordinaly play videogames. Nintendo was talking about this, and now I honestly see it. Opens up a lot of new possibiliteis.
