I got the last Nintendo DS Lite in the area. I went to all the places that carry them and they were sold out...except for the last one waiting for me at Toys 'R' Us! The weird thing is that I got the hardware but they didn't have any games I wanted to buy so I ended back at Best Buy for those. I got the 'new' Super Mario Brothers and Sonic Rush.
I've been playing Mario and it is the same, in some ways, but different in others compared to the ones I played back in the original Nintendo 64 days. I haven't tried the Sonic game yet because I'm having so much fun with the Mario.
Of course, my kids are jealous but I tell them it is better for them if they go outside and play with the frisbee or kick a can around the block like I had to do as a kid. If they want real excitement they can catch a firefly tonight and then let it go after watching it blink inside a jar for a few minutes.
Just leave me alone until I finish this world!

Bob! You got a Nintendo DS Lite?! I am so excited for you. I got one, too. I love it. I bought old school Mario 3 and also Big Brain Academy. I was just talking to my Dad and he was making fun of how, when I was a kid, I used to always say, "Just let me finish this world!" Let me know how the other games are. :)
