Nintendo DS
November 21th, 2004
Oh yeah... it's November 21st, and that means the Nintendo DS is out. MeLisa and I swung by the mall this morning to pick mine up. Take a look at the photos:
So far, the system is better than I originally expected. The graphics are much nicer than the photos would lead you to believe. I also fired up an old GBA game and that looked really nice too. The screens are very well lit and extremely crisp.
The unit itself has a nice weight to it and feels very sturdy in the hand. The speakers are great too, very crisp sounding and can get pretty loud as well. But the stylus sucks ass (too thin and light) and the thumb-strap thing just feels kinda awkward. Using it for Metroid isn't horrible... but it will definitely take a lot of getting used to.
So far though, the system is pretty cool. Now I just need more games
