This is a no-brainer. DS everytime for me. Sure the GBA had good games but DS has a touch screen and far more better games.

Thats somehow not a very good question (sorry if i offended you :D ), because Ds is better because its a new generation console, but i think you could ask which one is more innovative.

Seeing all my friends fawn all over the DS makes me feel even more loyal to my old little GBA. Brings back good memories :P

GBA by far because you don't have a stupid stick or another screen to pay attention too i mean sure the ds is cool and al but what happens if you lose your stick or your second screen gets so scratched up that the stick doesn't work anymore. that's what i found stupid with the DS so since then i have like GBA a lot better now and appreciate what it has to offer

the fact that you can run GBA on the ds surely shows that the DS is a better console

On November 13, 2003, Nintendo announced that it would be creating a new console for release in 2004.[8] Nintendo said that it would not be the successor to either the Nintendo GameCube or the Game Boy Advance,[8] but rather it would be considered a "third pillar" alongside the two consoles.[9] On January 20, 2004, the console was announced under the codename "Nintendo DS".[10] Nintendo released very few details at that time, only saying that the console would have two separate 3 in. TFT LCD display panels, separate processors, and up to 1 gigabit of semiconductor memory.[10][11] Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said "We have developed Nintendo DS based upon a completely different concept from existing game devices in order to provide players with a unique entertainment experience for the 21st century."[10] In March, the codename was changed to "Nitro" and a document containing most of the console's technical specifications was leaked.[12] In May, the codename was changed back to "Nintendo DS" (DS standing for Dual Screen)[6] and the console was shown in prototype form at E3. All of the features of the console were released by Nintendo at E3.[13] On July 28, 2004, Nintendo revealed a new design, one that was described as "sleeker and more elegant" than the one shown at E3. Also, the codename "Nintendo DS" became the official name of the console that day.[14]The Nintendo DS bears a striking resemblance to Nintendo's first handheld, the Game & Watch, specifically the multi-screen versions such as Donkey Kong.On September 20, 2004, Nintendo announced that the Nintendo DS would be released in North America on November 21, 2004 for US$149.99.[15] It was set to release on December 2, 2004 in Japan and in the first quarter of 2005 in Europe and Australia. The console was released in North America with a midnight launch event at Universal CityWalk EB Games in Los Angeles, California. The console was launched quietly in Japan compared to the North America launch; one source cites the cold weather as the reason.[16] In January 2005, the Australia release date of February 24, 2005 and the Europe release date of March 11, 2005 were announced.[17][18] Regarding the European launch, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata said:Europe is an extremely important market for Nintendo, and we are pleased we can offer such a short period of time between the US and European launch. We believe that the Nintendo DS will change the way people play video games and our mission remains to expand the game play experience. Nintendo DS caters for the needs of all gamers whether for more dedicated gamers who want the real challenge. ow ya and they expect, or the more casual gamers who want quick, pick up and play fun.

I may not have one but I pick the ds. It can support both gba and ds games so Im content with that. Some of the best games Ive ever played was on the gba so Im glad they made the ds like this.

GBA was more innovative, and I hate the touch screen (why do you use a pen when you have a joystick...)But anyways, the DS definitely has some better games and new features i like tooDouble screen was def. one of these.
