I don't own a DS (I'm a PSP girl), but…yeah, I agree. My friends that do own a DS don't exactly play those games either. What about Final Fantasy Tactics or even Pokemon? One of my friends loves Maple Story and I bet she can't wait to get Maple Story for DS. This sort of reminds me of when I was little and I would rent one of those Barbie games for SNES out of curiosity, and it would be, hands down, the wost game I ever played in my life. And it made me very mad at the time because it felt like all of the games were being made for boys and if you were a girl then any games made for you would be pointless. Even my younger cousin thought the same. My cousin is 10 years old, she also owns a DS (I didn't get to see how many games she has, but when I was there she was very into a Kim Possible game). I had an SNES emulator on my computer and showed her the Barbie game one day…I remember her saying, "So…what's the point of this?" However…a little part of me on the inside was glad to see girls on tv playing video games. Hi,
