Most definently the DS. Why do you need an SP when you can play the game on your DS?

The nintendo ds's wireless capabilities, combined with the touch screen, are reason enough to love it. However, these being the main features to be sold, can be why many would grow to not like the ds. The games can contain much more memory and better games can be made now that the system is how it is. The ds is probably as strong as the N64, or stronger. My only complaints are individual games, where they can try too hard to work in the features they've added.

DS is much better than GBA, the problem with the DS is that it don't play GB & GBC games....So i'll say, buy the DS.

Ds definately, the option to play both GBA games and Ds games? Who wouldn't choose that over just one.. Plus you have all the added extras of the nice lighting and the touch screen.

GBA became best to me when Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was released. DS on the other hand was already good though cause you could already play GBA games to it as well, making it fabulous cause Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2: Grimoire of the Rift will be released soon. It would be better if you get DS cause it's the most advance console.

i would say the ds because it has a touch screen and it has backwards compatibility (able to play gba). although it doesn't have a gba cable port, the ds has wifi and you are able to play with people around the world!!!! :)

Do you guys like GBA or DS, because if i'm getting a DS, i need to give away my GBA, which one's better?

They both have their good qualities and their bad. For example the GBA can play all the old GB and GBC games as well as GBA games. The DS only plays GBA and DS. If you want to play your older games (if you have any) you'd be out of luck if you bought a DS. It's your choice in the end. I personally like the GBA better, simply because it can play all the old classics I love, instead of the flashy new games without storylines or plots.

Of course DS. There is no argument there. Why would you only want to play one specific game, when you have the option of playing both. It's pretty much a pointless question.
