Should I buy a DS?

Mario Kart DS looks sweet as hell, and they're bloody cheap as a bundle pack - under CDN$200. Since it finally got online, there could be some serious stompin' going on.

Question - can it play linked games with the GBA, or just the standalone carts? My little brother has a GBA, and I'd like to be able to multiplayer when I go home for the holidays with him.

No, it cannot play linked with the gba. There is no gba link port on the ds.

Bah.

Mind you, I could probably pick up an old GBA (non-SP) from FS/T for about, what, $20 these days? 😀

Get the Mario Kart DS + DS system bundle.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Under CDN$200 with taxes. 😀

a quick question. I dont' want to start a new thread on this, but my friend told me that the DS will drop in value mid december (13-17th). Is this true?

It kind of has already if you think about the bundles. You have the current Mario kart bundle $149 USD for the Unit + MK game. Also, I remember seeing some bundles for Nintedogs (console + game $149) and also during BF or near that time, you could get 3 games + DS for like $159.

But the console itself should be dropping to $129 everywhere if it hasn't done so already.
 
I've had a DS for a while. Unless you have a lot of free time away from home or have other friends who own a DS, there's not much value in it. If I was playing games at home, I'd rather be playing them on a console. Mario Kart or Meteos with friends is awesome though, especially if you have 4+ playing. I really like how most games support multiple players with only one cartridge required.
