It looks fun, and it is - for about half an hour. It's limited, repetitive, and pretty much nothing more than a tech demo (in the bad sense). It feels like a minigame. Get Warioware instead.

Go for the DS or the PSP? I want the system which has a larger library of games which will keep me entertained for hours, best online play and allow me to browse the internet on the move.

I would include Bomberman DS! It's great with 8 players! and it's a decent version of Bomberman. www.dunnypop.com Totally agree with this list.

Because of financial restrictions I have not yet accomplished this, but I am pleased to see that the eight games I currently own are all on the list. Mariokart Trauma Center (I was lucky enough to find it used) Meteos Tetris Advance Wars DS New Super Mario Bros. Animal Crossing Metroid Prime Pinball I am dying to get Phoenix Wright, as well as a ton of upcoming releases (FF III, Cooking Mama, Mario Hoops, Contact, Elite Beat Agents, Children of Mana, the list goes on and on...), not to mention the Wii which is quickly approaching... My DS Lite pretty much controls my universe at the moment, I was with the original DS from the very beginning (I pre-ordered) and I stayed with it through some tough times... I am glad to see that it is finally getting the games it deserves. The release of the Lite (which I also pre-ordered) could not have come at a better time. Man, just think about what FF III will look like on those beautiful screens... Oh, and I would have to recommend "Drill Dozer" for anyone looking for a solid GBA platformer. I believe that it is currently priced at $10 in Best Buy locations, although most still have it marked at $30... The system should ring it up as $10. Heck, screw financial restrictions, when am I going to have enough time to play all the games I want to?!?! I have recently started to build what I was calling the “Ultimate DS Library.”

I've heard a lot of good things about it, so I really should give it a try. As far as AW:DS is concerned, did you play the other two Advance Wars on the GBA? If not, that might explain why the interface was a pain. A lot of us that love AW:DS are veterans of the previous AW games. dmarsee – I probably should have at least mentioned BBA, my bad for leaving it off the list.

Where's BIG BRAIN ACADAMY!? Nobody gives this game any love. It's the most fun with at least 3 people. It's very WarioWare-esqe, but you feel smarter afterwards. AW:DS really didn't do it for me. After 3-4 solid hours of playing the first levels, I couldn't keep track of which little orange boxy tank-thing was the weakling, and which one was t3h 4w3s0m3. And the interface was really tough to negotiate. I agree with your list except 2 details.
