If you're only waiting for Zelda/1st party games, you're the fool.

There are tons of great games for the DS/Wii. You just need to look for them.

I also have the original DS and I'm still happy with it.
The only problem I have with it is that the lithium ion battery is starting to die. It only lasts 30 minutes on a full charge. I'm going to buy a new battery for it though.

Because of the improved backlight, and probably screen quality alltogether, the visuals look much more colorful and crisp.

I still do. In fact, I still have two. The first one I had shorted out making the top screen pure white, leaving me with just the touch screen. I looked ALL over to find an original Blue DS that wasn't on eBay at an outrageous price. I found one, and I don't plan to update it, until the DSi comes out, but then I'll still play my original a lot. (GBA slot duh)

kso i understand that, that's why i have them. Fire Emblem is top 3 favorite wii game, mad world will be sick no more heroes is awesome and most of the thrid party games that are good are multi-platform so i get them for PS3 for obvious reasons.. i'm waiting for a game that gets an above 7 average everywhere. unfortunatly theres not many. so when you find a goo thrid party game which is like a 1/100 cause you know the wii library has already surpased any game consoles library, then give me a call i'll go check it out.
