It also works with Arkanoid DS and a few other old school titles, most of which were Taito ones.

I'd say PM Hashiriya1 and see if he could get you one for cheap.
I already sent a list of 5 or 6 things bugging him the other week. I don't want to bug him again before he leaves as he (probably hasn't had time) to respond to my last message. Space Invaders Extreme 1 & 2 are the only games I have that support it or I can forsee getting anytime soon.

They've sold more DS's than the combined amount of the entire GameBoy line, there's no way they're going to alienate and piss off those customers, it'd be corporate suicide.

Plus this isn't a new DS it's just a larger version of the DSi designed for either older people and parties or those who enjoy having a larger screen.
What do you mean alienate and piss off those customers? How would not releasing a bigger model alienate and piss off customers? The DSi fine, but im referring to the larger model. It seems pointless and just a reason to waste money. And what kind of party would have people gathered around one DS? Haha.

What I meant was that they can't release a DS2 or anything of the sort for some time given the current popularity of the standard DS/DS Lite/DSi lineup as customers would instantly think their purchases invalidated by Nintendo with the release of a newer DS.

GameBoy NEXT better happen!

Nintendo teased us with it after the DS's launch only to let it die a cruel death after the DS Lite picked up all the steam that the Original DS had lost.
