				I can say without any much hyperbole, that this game is mankind's crowning acheivement. Holy crap. I've been playing against greeneyedzeke using the Nintendo Wi-Fi and it is damn fun. In additional to a bunch of new races, the game has classic levels from the SNES, N64, GBA, and GCN games. If you have a DS, get this game. If you don't, it's a great reason to buy one.

				Must... Get... Now... 
 
 
But, damn! DS is coming out with so many awesome games and I don't have enough money. I'm still backed up with games I want from LAST year's fall flood, and I have to keep some cash aside for Zelda.

				Indeed. I've been finding this one difficult to put down. This game is made of god and win. I like how they put so many SMB3 references in it.
 
 
I find the inclusion of Dry Bones to be funny, too. Koopa Troopa rises from the dead!

Me too. The first time I played the airship level, I marked out bigtime.

				I like NINTENDOGS!  LOLLER!  NO.  I would definitely buy a DS for Mario Kart, as well as Advance Wars Black hole rising.  Is there a castlevania coming out for DS soon?  I heard something about that.  I loved Aria of Sorrow for GBA, I'd like to see a worthy follow up.

Yeah, it's already out. It's called Dawn of Sorrow and it's absolutely fantastic. It's pretty much a direct sequel to Aria of Sorrow, you get to play as Soma Cruz again.

There's even connection bonuses if you have Aria of Sorrow in your GBA slot and you start a new game with Dawn of Sorrow.

				Answer me this:  does dawn of sorrow have the silver bullet handgun, or any kind of gun, as aria did?

				Yeah it does.... there are 2 handguns. They're probably the best range weapons, but they're still weak as hell.

				Well, I wasn't going to ask my parents for anything for christmas, but maybe a DS and dawn of sorrow would be good....not that I deserve it, of course.
 
Is is just me or did they make Soma Cruz look way too much like Rei Ayanami from neon genesis evangelion?
  
 
Regarding Mario Kart DS, I have a really funny japanese commercial for it, with the best depiction of americans I've ever seen, I'll upload it and link you later.
