Dunno if it’s common knowledge in all territories yet, but Nintendo is launching a new handheld, the Nintendo DS (I assume it stands for Dual Screen, ‘cos it’s got one) in some parts of the world this Christmas. No doubt it’ll reach those of us in AU in due course. Apart from beating the forthcoming Sony PlayStation Portable to the punch, it also appears to have limited (single player only) Gameboy Advance compatibility, meaning a big catalogue of older games already available, and an upgrade path for GBA users.

So, now may not be the time to go buy a GBA…
