Havent got NSMB yet, Gunstar Future Heroes is pretty cool though Fine old-school blaster
The screen is sweet, even for this game (its a GBA game), I bet NSMB will look even better.
It's like underneath the system. It actually works very well.

On the old system, my friend didn't realize the stylus in the manual bag was a spare, he thought it was annoying having to carry a loose stylus with him when he was gonna play the DS. About 3 months after he got the system, he was complaining to me and i told him to look on the back of the DS, he felt a little silly.

As for the lite, that stylus in the little plastic bag is your spare. The Lite's stylus holder is right by the power switch.

I did about 10 minutes of searching and can't find something and was wanting some help.

I picked up Metroid (GBA) and since it is my only GBA game I thought I would order some of the DS cases and make my own cover for it(anal retentive and consistency is a bitch). lol

Where is that online store that was posted? Or even that thread? Did it get locked for some reason?

Here is the thread:

Without reading through it, I assume the cases were ordered through Nintendo's online store.

Trying very hard to wait for a different color a Lite in the US, but my resistance is starting to falter, plus I already told my daughter she can have my old one when I upgrade. I just wish I hadn't told her that, because now that's all I hear 2-3 times a day.

Just do it. White is the best color available anyway IMO.

I can't help but wonder...if we'd gotten black or blue, how many people would be waiting for white?

I found this at Wal-mart B&M for $11.?? and it works great. The newest version, but same model number, has the Lite adapter.......

I don't know if this has been posted anywhere here yet, but I was at Toys 'R Us today, and they have a decent deal on some DS games. There were six games they had where you could buy two and get one free:

New Super Mario Bros.
Tetris DS
Sudoku Gridmaster
Animal Crossing
Super Princess Peach
Metroid Prime Hunters

If for some reason you need to buy two copies of a game you can do that too. I got 2 copies of New Super Mario Bros (one for my brother) and Animal Crossing.

I thought Sudoku Gridmaster wasn't to be released until tomorrow.
