Does anyone still play on the Nintendo DS? I bought two of them from a buddy of mine a couple years ago, both for 35 bucks each. I have (I think) 34 or 35 games for it, not counting the browser. I just picked up another game for it yesterday at the goodwill, in new condition, with original box, and all the paperwork that comes with it, for 5 bucks.
I'd like to get a 3DS, but I'd have to play the games in 2D mode, since I have only one eye that works, making 3D vision impossible (I simply see double). And that's fine, if the games are cool enough. But I can't justify spending 150 dollars on that right now.
So does anyone else still play the DS? You can still get used DS games at Gamestop, of course. If you do use it, what are your favourite games, and genres of games? I know I'm a little behind the times, of course. But I still love my DS. I keep one (the older one, whose shoulder boards don't work well) loaded with the browser, and use the other, which is basically in New Condition, for actual play. I also keep them in cases, and then both of them go inside an old Czech ammo bag for further protection. I am very careful with my electronics.
I have found that the DS browser, while HORRIBLY slow, is pretty good, once the pages are loaded. It works pretty well for basic stuff when you stop at a public wifi spot and don't want to carry your ten-pound computer around.
Anyway, let me know what you think of the DS, and what your favourite games and genres are, and anything else your find pertinent. I am very curious to talk to some other people about all this.
