"And how can you not like a system where you can draw a circle around a menu option to select it."

How about no.

I'm sorry, but somebody had to make that joke. :p

Actually, it's been speculated that one screen be used for a local battle and the other for overall strategic commands.

This is the biggest shock to me.

Why surprising? I don't see why Nintendo would want to break their tradition of backwards compatability now.

Anyways, four face buttons? I shouldn't be surprised but I am.

Im suprised about the four face buttons because its something I have always wanted since the original GBA.

Am I realy going to have to buy DS now?

how do you use buttons and a stylus at the same time?
