I'm personally still completely content with my DS dark/heavy/dinosaur. And personally, ZKX, I do see a problem not having a GBA slot. Yes, even though I have an old GBA and the old DS, I don't have room to carry around that much, as I already have a bunch of stuff I always keep in my pockets. It's incredibly convenient being able to just switch between systems like that, and what's the point of having a smaller DS if you have to carry around another system if you want to play GBA anyway?

Oh, and original GBA did have backwards compatibility. :P

Orrrrr, carry one and not have an add disorder :D

The original GBA did, but really, just be content with it. If you want to play DS, bring a ds. If you want to play GBA, bring a GBA. I don't know about you guys, but I always have the micro in my pocket and I rarely have enough time to play it.

There's supposed to be some sort of download system like the Shop Channel that the Wii has. No word of just how that'll be yet.

But about the DSi's missing GBA port: I use this port about as much as I use the DS game port, so losing it forces me to carry around another handheld. This is massively inconvenient. A minor inconvenience that also turns up is that peripherals that take advantage of the GBA slot (like the Guitar Hero add-on and the rumble pack) are rendered useless. Not a big deal to me, since I don't own either one, but still irksome. Also most of the new software features are already available to owners of a flash cart. In the end, this seems to be a very bad trade-off to me.

Then again, I'm a bit of a tech whore, and having a built in web browser, a better wi-fi detection system, larger screen, built-in SD card support, built-in camera, and all those fancy features with none of that flash cart finagling seems nice.

I never understood the fascination with Fio. She was never "delicious" or whatever retarded adjective they choose in one of the games. The sprites have always been the same, and the mugs have always been manly. Eri (and Nadia) have always been more attractive in the sense of being females. Fan art doesn't count towards a character being attractive. Its retarded fan art. I was excited about a new Metal Slug, but after 6 I've lost all hope. You can only have the exact same game for so long.

What can I say, I'm a Fio fanboy. Just that simple; I've only played part of Metal Slug 2, so maybe I'm just getting caught in my own hype...

I mean, from what I've speculated, Metal Slug 7 will feature Fio, Heavy Machine Guns, cannon-toting Victorian-era dolls, nuclear strongholds, and Rick Astley as a boss.

See, these guys know where I'm coming from.

Look, I'm starved for a good, fast-paced side-scroller, and Contra 4 is way too much for me. I know that the Metal Slugs are good, as far as 2-D games go, so why not? Who cares if it's just like 2/3/4/5/6/X; I've never played any of them!

Boy, you should have seen me back before Izuna 2 came out. You'd've impaled me on a blunt broomstick, I guarantee it.
