I've had my Nintendo DS for week or two now. My game collection has grown to three titles already. I bought Polarium with the DS and ordered Zoo Keeper from Play at the same time. Recently I got Project Rub as a gift.
I like it. I really do. Johanna bought Game Boy Advance last year and that was a bit of a disappointment, we've had fairly little use for it. DS is different. Of course, it's a lot to do with the games. Zoo Keeper is such a gem that it's alone a reason good enough to buy DS. It's the new Tetris.
I like what they've done with DS. Two screens and touching beats PSP's beautiful wide screen display, as they offer so much more when it comes to new and unique ideas and exciting gameplay. I'm no tech geek - I don't mind how much processor power the machines have. I'm happy with more. It's great that DS can run Nintendo 64 games, where GBA could do Super Nintendo. But more power is only going to make better graphics possible. More polygons doesn't equal better gameplay.
I have high expectations for upcoming Nintendo DS titles. There'll be some really original DS-exclusive games; I just hope they make it all the way from Japan to Finland. In the worst case scenario the stores will be full of the average crap ported from other platforms with no DS-specific stuff.

Gah, I should buy my Nintendo DS already. :) There are a lot of interesting games I'm waiting and wanting for it: Meteos (I'd call this the new Tetris, but I don't know before I try :) ), Animal Crossing DS, Advance Wars DS, Mario Kart, Nanostray, Ultimate Brain Games (GO, chess and other games with WiFi and maybe online playing through hotspots! <3), Ultimate Card Games, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Kirby, Zelda...
