	<htmltext>The question is not "why?" but it's "why not?". If Nintendo thinks there are few people left on the planet who have not yet bought a DS (like me for instance), then why shouldn't try to make a product that fills that niche? Why not?<br>

If they really want to get the attention of older gamers they should make a "Classic NES" edition like they did with the GBA. That's the only handheld system I own.</htmltext>

<sentencetext>If it offers nothing new, why are you people wasting money on something that is going to be and do the same exact same as something you already have?
To me the OP's article just sounds like "I'm stupid and wasted money on two extra DSes that I didnt need or want, now we should boycott nintendo because I'm too stupid to read about something before I buy it".
Nintendo has notoriously been at the back of the system upgrade cycle, get used to it.
I realized that sometime around 1996</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>Agreed. I own a DS Lite as well as a 'slim' PSP, but despite it's inferior specs, I enjoy the DS more.
The problem is, many people think the DS has nothing more than My Little Pony and Dora the Explorer games, but if you dig past the kiddy games and shovelware, the system has a fantastic library. You have the excellent 2D games (Mega Man ZX, New Super Mario Bros, the 3 Castlevanias and Contra 4), old-school RPGs (Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Dark Spire, Ys, Black Sigil, the upcoming new Golden Sun), puzzlers (Professor Layton), and so on.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>To me it just sounds like the OP's article is nothing but "Wah, I'm too stupid to read about something before I buy it"  I realized Nintendo was at the bottom of the system upgrade cycle in around 1998.  If he's a true "Old school gamer" I find it hard to believe he is bitching about something that has been more than obvious now about Nintendo for more than a decade.  I'm still mad about them taking blood out of Mortal Kombat...</htmltext>
