The sales have slumped off for the DS, but the same goes for the PSP. Frankly, there's just no reason to buy a DS for many until the truly killer apps hit home, as the GBA is still an excellent gaming machine for them, I'd wager.
When MK and AC come rolling out with their online program, I'd expect that to boost sales dramatically, as well as Hunters.
Until then, Meteos is the rock and walls, if you catch my meaning...

But my friend had an application which would wirelessly broadcast the E3 demos for the DS, one of which was Meteos, which is why I know how good it is already.

As for the discussion, I played Meteos using the E3 demo which you can get off the web, so it's fully possible that anyone here could do the same thing, but I should also note that people here come from around the globe so I'm sure you have dozens of PGC forumers who have the game, either through import or otherwise.
In any case, the only point I'm trying to make is that the game is excellent. Get your hands on it whenever you can.
