People try to keep this board clean.
Why can u just post this on Ninty Kopitiam.
There is no need for u to start a new tread just for this question.

Nah, he just wants answers from everyone while still kept anonymous

It is CLEAR that the NDS is MORE suited to the elder crowd (16 and above).. Games can be a little too difficult for the younger ones.. Hence, "boring"

Kiddy system? I think not.

But everytime I go the MV counter I see kids playing the demo machine
Last week when I dragged my friend there to try Nintendogs, a little girl who was standing beside asked my friend to let her try

i'm 26 going 27 still playing GBA more than my DS.
wat do u think? haha...
indeed some of the DS game is suit older people like me more than kids.

"wintzen" - no hard feeling ok. Sorry if i made u feel unconfortable.

same here, but have yet to get 1 la...it's alrite....

Hehe.. that's really cute.

But I highly doubt a kid would like games like Mario Kart DS.. And the fact the drift/power sliding is not in their knowledge .. Learning the mechanics takes time even for an adult.

Those games are made for the hardcore Mario fans.. But games under the "Touch Generation" is meant to be, or should I say, SUITED to all ages.. Even grandpa and grandma Thing like EBA maybe applicable to younger kids

it is made for the one that got the money to spare.... hehe...

Im surprised that im the only 14 year old here that has a DS

Normally in the US mostly us 11 to 15 year olds would have most of the DSes

that because most 14 year olds here "bo loui" (no money) to get one.....hahah, yeah right most 14 year olds here got more money to spend than a poor working sap like me.

ah, how i wish i was kid in this generation, when i was a kid all i had was the original brick Gameboy and i had to beg my parents every month when i wanna buy a new game.

What do you mean i have to save 3 months at a time to buy a game and im not really complaining

but the great thing was back then, i would play the game over and over again until i got sick of it or got a new game.
Now i still buy original games but to imagine that i might replay it again after finishing it is almost impossible. but i still end up keepig the game anyway cos i'm sentimental and a serious collector....of games of course, not consoles.

wah u guys underestimating kids younger than u? =.=

Yeah, we shouldn't. My bad.

But the point I'm trying to make is that.. Current DS owners are not aged between 4-16 but more to 16-30+.. You should've seen some of the pre-press conference pictures for Nintendo.. Journalists, bloggers, gamers, all holding DS's.. male and female.

Like a colourful sea of DS'es.

at least i am glad i am not too old to join the crowd...hehe

=.= maybe cos most kids no $$$ u all old d got $$$ mah -.-

Hehe.. we work ma, feed ourselves also..

While you on the other hand are studying, I'm sure you can make some extra funds durings holidays or something?

Lemonade stand? Door to door chocolate chip cookies?

I'm at the poorest stage, college student, where you can no longer beg parents to buy stuffs yet not old enough to get a work with decent salary, except working part time.

To me kids nowadays are far more richer than during my time... I can see seconday students rich enough to stop by at Starbucks, Coffee Beans, Japanese Buffet... etc everywhere. I only ate KFC at that age

But I guess I'm already addicted to buying nds ori games
May not repeat the 100% ori for Wii if getting it though... My bro said he's not interested in any console that could not play ahems
