Although the PSP is an interesting side-show, the Nintendo DS (for Double-Screen) is what I’ve really been waiting for, and from what I’ve heard and seen so far, the system just completely rocks.

Two screens (obviously), one of which is a touch-screen; stylus; built-in mic and voice recognition; WiFi (802.11 for direct Internet connections plus a proprietary system for ad-hoc short-range networking)... beautiful :-) I hope the screens are of GBA SP quality, rather than the original GBA.

DS games will be delivered on SD cards, and it is fully GBA compatible (and presumably CGB as well). The games covered by GameSpy sound really great, especially WarioWare DS and Pac-Mix, and of course Metroid Prime: Hunter.

Nintendo have been the greatest games company in the world since they started making games, and this just takes it to a new level for me. Now, where can I place my pre-order?
