I'm not usually into handheld systems, yeah I had a Gameboy for a bit back in the day, but that was mainly to play during my literature and history classes in high school. (Both teachers loved me and basically used me as a Teachers Aid to get me ready for a job in teaching)
However, I picked up a DS with my check this month and a few games and I have to say, I love it. Looking at the average review scores from the games on Metacritic, it seems that most people that play it love it as well. Then you take a look at the Wii scores. I admit to hating the Wii. It's underpowered and gimmicky. But to look at the average user scores of games and then look at the total sales of the system it just makes no sense.
I think that Nintendo needs to get out of the home console business and just do handhelds.
Oh and if you have a DS, get Picross DS and Advanced Wars: Dual Strike. Trust me.
