Mainly for Advanced Wars: Dual Strike. I liked the whole serries and wanted to keep playing. Also liked the back-lit screen for GBA games...the old GBAs didn't have that like the new ones do.
Why did you buy a DS?

I wanted a good game system to take on the road i did have a psp but there wasnt any games that kept my interest and its a beast to carry around, i like the ds line-up of games even though they look like they should be for kids, they are pretty mature

Like many people here, I really only bought a DS so I could play one specific game: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor! I'd actually really been avoiding buying any new systems, but then that game came out and I just had to play it. Now I'm really glad I bought it because I've gotten to play a whole bunch of really fun games I never would have known about otherwise!

My girlfriend got it for me for my birthday a couple of years ago. We both liked it so much I got her one a few months later and persuaded numerous friends and relatives to buy their own as well.

A friend had one and I was interested in the games. I then found out that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl were in there so I wanted to try. That feeling grew stronger when I found out my cousin just bought one. Yeah...that was about three years ago.Best. Birthday Present. Ever.

My dad bought me the DS Phat when just came out, now it's cheaper. I kind of like the original, though.

I bought a DS at launch because Nintendo handhelds have been something I've enjoyed since my childhood. I then bought a DS Lite since the L button on my Phat had broken anyway.

For the games and the touchscreen.I got my DS before the iPod Touch came out, so the touchscreen was a godsend. Plus, TWEWY wouldn't be the same without it.

I bought it went it came out specifically because I thought it was cool how it introduced wireless multiplayer games and 3D graphics on a portable game system. I mean, after having a GBA for so long, the DS looked incredible. I bought the bundle with Super Mario 64 DS. ($149.99 was a pretty awesome price for it at the time)

I bought mine really late when EVERYONE already had one. I did well in my exams so my parents, eh, sponsored me. also I really wanted to play Pokemon and I thought the double screen/touchscreen thing was the best thing since sliced bread
