I broke down and picked up a Nintendo DS + Mario 64 DS the other
night.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that Metroid First Hunt was a Hu
Card like game that even came in a clear plastic sleeve, -just like
classic Turbo/PCE games.

They're pushing the limit(or minimum) in size though. If the next
generation of portable games are any smaller, my fingers will be to
big to handle them.

I was looking at my Express and GT the other day and 2 things came to
mind.

The first, as always, is just how cool they're deisigned. They have
the perfect balance of aesthetic & functionality. They're still my
favorite looking system to date.

The other is how the Gameboy Advance is still the current portable
standard. But I was playing the same quality graphics on a backlit
color screen over a decade ago.

Plus there are still more Hu Card games that I like to play regularly
than Advance games. And the Express/GT still suite my large man-hands
better than the SP & DS.
