A word of warning, which I've stated elsewhere ...
Keep :female: females :female: away from Nintendogs.

The amount of time that they spend with those "adorable" virtual pets isn't even funny

... and then there's all the times that you think she's shouting on you, but not ... she's calling one of the dogs' names. Time to walk the real dog and go for a drink. :beer:

My nephew got his DS last Christmas before his 5th birthday. He is a real expert at it now and plays together with my son on his DS.

I know the feeling Basil, I used to be a wizz on the Amiga , but I can hold my own at Tetris any day!

I used to believe that I was reasonably good at Tetris until I played it on the DS, with someone from the other side of the globe. What a humbling experience. :embarasse

I`ve had a go at that too, you know you`re in trouble when the other players name is a line of squiggles! Oh yes if you actually find someone you can beat they disconnect pretty sharp and spoil your fun.

I have the old style DS and the only difference I didn't like about the new DS Lite is where they have moved the mic to. If you have to blow into it (some games require this) you can't keep an eye on your game!! Also the black DS Lites show up every smudge and finger print.....and I mean every one!

1. Get one of the earphone/microphone combo things. It allows you to keep your distance from the DS, ... and look like an idiot at the same time.
2. Exactly how many games need you to BLOW into the mic?

(Just like many a little black number. Accept it as the price of being stylish.)
