Review
The Nintendo DS is easily the best thing I have purchased. The most obvious feature of this is the two screens. The botom screen is a touch screen, and so you dont smudge the screen, it comes free with a thumb strap and stylus. Also, there is a tiny little hole under the touch screen that acts as a microphone. Not many games use this though. If there is a DS user within 30 feet from you that has their DS swithced on, you can play multiplayer games with them without any wires at all! Hopefully later this year, Nintendo will be extending the wireless play function, by letting DS owners hook up their DS to their computer, and play with people across the world.
I would defineately reccommend the Nintendo DS to anyone.
