The original DS is cool but every other revision of it has been leagues better.

yeah yer a damn buffoon if ya dont think the dsi wasnt the best iteration of the ds lol shits so cash minus maybe the battery life

The dsi was my favorite one. Best formfactor and it just looked nice.

Even the white ones had a matte finish so you could clean then super easily.

I'd say DSi is maybe in general the best DS, but it has two big limitations that make me believe DS Lite is still worth having: no GBA slot (some DS games use it) and region lock.

Original DS is completely pointless ever since the DS Lite released. It's bulky, has poor screens, awful touch accuracy, fragile shoulder buttons, loose hinge, worse speakers, bad stylus holder, tiny stylus, worse battery life, awful headphone jack placement, and a case design that seems to trap dust and dirt forever in the gaps and screen edges. I can't imagine why anybody would prefer it to any other DS model.

The only thing I preffered the original ds over the lite was the dpad.
For whatever reason, the dpad was better for me for games like contra 4 where I have to use diagonal inputs often.

I want a resurrection of the game boy line but I'm not sure that they would drop having screens  at this point.

And there would be a break in backwards compatibility.

I should not have looked.


Although, it's not too far off.
