Wow! That's great! And I saw a kiosk at Gamestop where they displayed the DSi and the XL side-by-side. The demo showed a bunch of games like Zelda Spirit Tracks, Pokemon, Brain Age, etc. IT DOES MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!

Note the font-size for "HUGE."

I'd get it but I have no money for this. I'm satisfied with my DSi. Plus, you can't transfer DSiWare stuff cross platforms, which sucks. But the DSiXL does enhance the games, BIG TIME! Especially Pokemon! Damn, the game looked great from the demo! Makes me salivate over it...even though I won't buy it!

What sucks is that the 3DS was announced before the XL came out, which was a stupid move by Nintendo, or the reporters who leaked the info. Anyway, I'll be just waiting for the 3DS. Not at launch since I want to wait awhile, but I definitely want it next year!

Everyone acts as if this was the first time Nintendo has done something like this. Even after DS was announced, even before Micro came out, they snuck out the GBA SP+ with back-lit screens... THEN the micro... There were three versions of the GBA within a year and a half of each other!

That's fine by me. Each step they take seems to be a pretty good improvement. I loved the SP+. I loved the Micro.

The SP gave all new life to the Advance, with the flip design and the much needed lighting. The + took it a dramatic step forward, and, I don't care what ANYONE says, I thought the Micro was a sexy little beast. Super crisp screen, incredible, portable size; really a marvel of design there, imo. It should have been given much more of a chance to shine!

Keep 'em comin' Nintendo! There's always gonna be suckers like me out there...

Figuratively speaking, of course...

Can you say that a game is the best made game ever, but not the best game ever?

I think you could.  You could probably make an arguement for a game like Final Fantasy 13. Excellent production value, good story, well thought out combat (or so some say).  A lot of care and attention was put into that game so that everything in it was excellent and there are plenty of areas where it does genuinally seem to be unsurpassed.  However, I've yet to hear anyone say "this is the best game I've ever played." And that's because the game has no soul and is actual pure evil that was printed onto a Blu Ray disc.

Ok fine. FFXIII is THE BEST game I have EVER played.

So should I be welcoming you as a brand new gamer who has clearly never played anything else in his life?

Club Nintendo - New 'intend to buy' game

Why do they always put games I have absolutely no intention of buying on the "Intend to buy" list?

Hey, Nintendo! I "intend to buy" Super Mario Galaxy 2. Why not put that on the list?

No you should be welcoming me as a gaming guru who appreciates quality gaming and doesn't jump on the "hate" bandwagons.

Wait I'm confused. You lost me.  Are we talking about quality gaming or Final Fantasy now?
