Well much to my own surprise, I was compelled to shell out for a DS. Got Mario, and have placed an order for Wario Ware. So far my impressions of the unit have not changed I think the DS looks a little odd, but the button arrangement and controls are a hybrid of the original GBA and GBA SP. The hinged upper screen even seems like the SP, however since the hands are not so close together it feels better.
The Mario game is pretty good, it is like the Mario 64 game however the storyline is different, which is probably a good thing a total re-hash as a console launch title may annoy Mario fans. Hopefully F-Zero will also be out soon. I quite like the Metroid demo, infact I have been playing that more. The control combination of the pen and the buttons takes a little getting used to however it is quite easy to master.
Still playing MGS3 on the Playstation, so I have not even opened up GT4 yet, however I might need another memory card before I can play GT4 since I had to trash some save games just to make room for MGS3.
I am also heading out this evening to see Constantine, wanted to go to the 9pm show however friends can’t make that one so it looks like we will be doing the late show as usual.
