So anyone find any good accessories for the DS? I am really hoping they come out with a nice leather glove for it like the pelican SP one.
What does everyone think of screen protectors? Are they a good investment and will it still be as sensitive. I found an official Nintendo endorsed one from lik-sang.

I decided to try out Zoo Keeper today at EB and an hour and a half later I was walking out to door with it in tow. I got addicted, I got the employee addicted and then we got sucked into the single cart multiplayer. I mainly wanted a game my wife could play on her DS-I tried with Mr. Driller but she didn't really take to it. Needless to say she's been playing Zoo Keeper DS for hours.

Yeah I almost bought that game the other day, but had never seen any reviews of it. I may have to go pick it up.
I really need a new game for this thing, so far I only have Tiger Woods and nothing else thats out right now really appeals to me
A question:
Did you guys sell your GBA SP when you got a DS? I kept mine because it's one of those NES ones and I just love how it looks and how small it is. However the GBA games look so much better on the DS screen, and I don't really see myself playing GBA games on the SP.

Can you elaborate on the game a bit? Is it a puzzle game?
I'm looking forward to Zoo Tycoon when that comes out.
I did not sell my SP I still need it for multiplayer and to hook up to the GCN. Plus it is smaller and can fit in my pocket better.

You can play a flash version of Zookeeper here. It retails for $39.99 which is too steep for me, for a handheld game (especially bejeweled). Although I noticed it was in Kmart's ad this week for $29.99, and EB Games is running a promo right now for $5 off so it's $34.99 there. I will also admit I played it a bit the other day and the multiplayer single cartridge battle is a lot of fun.

I also kept a SP but mainly for GCN/GBA connecitivity (Animal Crossing). The two player single cart feature of Zoo Keeper DS was it's selling factor. I did get it for 34.99 at EB plus I had some remaining gift cards to soften the blow. BTW Polarium (One Line Puzzle-jap) has a date of 3/14 here and Meteos may have been pushed to March. Tetris DS? Now if Nintendo would release Puzzle Collection DS...

I haven't read through all the posts but here are some thoughts
The touch screen is responsive and intuitive, I am finishing up a few GBA games on it and digging the FIRST HUNT demo. I had to return my first unit because of a dead pixel on the upper screen, other than that I am loving it. I prefer the colorful bright display to the washed out GBA SPs as well as the big shoulder buttons and kickin stereo sound. I picked up Feel the Magic online and am waiting for it as well as the mad catz micro kit case and screen protectors. I am dubious about a screen protector working on the lower touch screen and depending on what it looks like I might leave it off as the screen seems pretty resilient on its own. (I will let you know once it arrives)
BTW check KMART if you can't find any they seem to have them in stock.

I have a question... for the online Zookeeper game... is there a strategy? All I do is just try to get 3 or more of the animals. I'm up to 13k points and the level with the little baby faces. Is it just a Tetris-like game or is strategy involved?
Thanks!
I'm hooked on the stupid thing

I don't think in the online version there is much of a strategy just rack up as many captures as you can. Once you get the amount of captures for that level you advance to the next.

In the feel the magic instructions it says you can sample your voice with the microphone for 1.5 seconds (like the casio sk-1) by holding up on the dpad and pressing Y till a microphone icon appears, I haven't had any luck however making this work.
Also is there anything besides the movie thats unlocks in the metroid demo
