Until or unless the DS replaces the GBA, I would think that developers would be better off making the game for the GBA.  Last I heard (though I could be wrong) the DS isn't uberly more powerful than the GBA, so games that don't require a second screen so much could just put it on the GBA which will of course have a huge user base already.  (Hopefully someone can prove me wrong, about the DS's lack of a leap in power, as I'm hoping the DS is more than a double-screened GBA.)  If Nintendo is pretty insistent about the DS being a "third pillar", and if the DS turns out not to be able to backwards-compatibly play GBA games, then the DS might not replace the GBA for at least a little while.

Hopefully all of these developers that are interested in the DS will make at least some use of the dual screens and whatever innovations it might have.

Well, for one thing the DS can do 3d...

I only ask for one thing from square. Front Mission for GCN. That is the only game that I know from square that hasn't been riding it's own coat tails or spammed.
