NDS not considered educational, 'cos they don't incorporate ABC, 123, spelling, maths, etc..... unless maybe that 'brain' game. If nds is consideration, wii is even better
Vsmile has the above incorporated in all games. But dun expect fantastic graphics, animation etc.. You still see kids always crowding and waiting their turns at the demo sets in dept. stores
Actually, there are butt-loads of education games out there for the DS. Language Coach, Cooking Guide, Brain Age, and together with their Brain Age rip-offs from other companies. Plenty of Sudoku and Crossword games to exercise the brain.
But these titles, as I've mentioned are not popular due to being rip-offs, and also labled as 'rubbish' because there are too many of them

But yeah, Vsmiles incorporation of all of the above, gameplay + education is prolly better.
Hey, even Donkey Kong Math is pretty good.
