    DS is great and all (I got mine the month they came out), but I decided to sell mine and use the money to get an ipod. I enjoy my ipod much more than i ever did for my DS, and besides, the only games worth getting (such as advance wars 2, it’s the best game ever) are GBA games.

  5. Nintendo ds and the wii might not be as powerful but they r awsome! the wii has somethin nothin else has: motion sensors so that u can play a game like u r acually them!

  6. I want to know, over all, which system is the best period

    I have played the wii before and it is cool!

    If you have a DS get Nintendogs.

  9. The DS and Wii are the superior systems. They may not have all the perks of the other systems, but with the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection, you can play with anyone on earth through wireless routers!

  10. THE WII ROCKS!!!
