Awesome! Who needs to ever pay for games when we can just STEAL them! Hooray!
With the endless spinning, Tetris has gotten easier. I wish there was an option to turn that off.

I also wish there was an option to change the music in that game. Maybe for Tetris DS 2, there could be a Nintendo/Normal theme choice. I love the old Link and Samus stuff, but enough is enough after a while. I play that game with the sound off.
What I love about my DS is that I am able to play Tetris with someone across the world and all it takes is saying "Yes" to "Do you want to connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi?"

No credit card, no registration, no promising to pay fees later. Just a system, a game, an existing Wi-Fi connection, and I'm playing online. It's very, very smart for Nintendo to continue this offering with the Wii.
Brain Age is $15 less than most other DS titles. It's moved 4 million units in its short life for a reason, you know. Sony's biggest problem is that Nintendo has just redefined the portable -- and possibly the entire -- gaming market by introducing the touch screen. Brain Age will ONLY work with DS. A similar game just wouldn't be as intuitive or as fun on PSP.

Cutting the the price would be just a temporary fix. Sony has found that people would rather play fun/interesting games than carry around a super-multimedia device. It seems kind of obvious in hindsight, but wasn't back in late 2004.

They're both going for the video game market, but just attacking different sections therein. I would say a $50 price cut would get some people on board, but they'd eventually run into the same frustrations that most PSP owners already face -- terrible media format and bad games. I would think it might better to address those issues first and then cut prices later. Start introducing games on Memory Stick to cut back on load times and maybe a few out-there titles at a significant price cut.
Phoenix Wright re-released? And I just got paid?

Oh boy.
Great voice recognition? Hardly. I've given up on ever getting the damn thing to recognize "blue" or "six."
Know what's more annoying than smug ultra-liberals telling us to eat sushi and stop smoking? Crazy ultra-conservatives telling us to thank our lucky stars we can BREATHE and EAT and TRAVEL and WAKE UP and LIVE under this constant threat of terrorist attack and to deal with any momentary inconvenience. If we don't we let down our RESOLVE and THE TERRORISTS WIN!!
I've played Tetris DS online since I got my DS a few weeks ago. I have zero problems playing against people. I'm not really looking to make best friends -- I kind of just want to play Tetris. The online system works great, never drops out, and is always smooth. I anticipate the Wii will be about the same.
In it's literal definition, addiction is characterized by and actual physiological change within the body. That is, if someone were to actually be addicted to WoW, they would actually be unable to function comfortably without it, removing it would cause symptoms of withdrawal, and so on.

Being dependent, on the other hand, represents a psychological attachment to the game versus a physiological. I'm sure more of the hardcore WoW users are simply dependent instead. They prefer to have WoW in their lives but would be able to function properly without it. At least I hope so.

I've never been into the MMORPG scene. I don't have that concentration level and I certainly don't want to pay $10 a month for a video game.
I'd forgotten that Kirby started on the venerable GB, and was a very, very good game too.

My favorite GB game not already listed is RC Pro-Am. Very, very fun.

Also, did anyone play Street Fighter II on GB? What a terrible, terrible idea.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I have a MacBook Pro and an Xbox 360 and I would like to get a 20- to 24-inch display that will support both devices. The speakers should be inbuilt, or there should be an aux out on the display to hook up external speakers. Help! Please!"
