Let me start off by saying that there are a million of these forums on gaia, so i've heard many different opinions, 4) Graphics--The DS's graphics are superior to those of the N64, the images that are posted here are ENLARGED, making it pixellated.

Thanks for clearin that up UltimateSS1.I think Vewtiful joe was a GC exclusive I cant remember.Yeah Ive noticed that too Saiyyan,I saw one shot of metroid Ds that made it look like it was done on MS paint.I noticed that with GBA gams before too i think its just an effect from putting up an image from a small screen on a big one sorta like the effect you get when you play GB games on the GB Player
