Here is what we bought Branden while we were in Guam. This is his present from mommy and daddy. We decided along time ago, we were going to buy him the American model, only because we weren't really sure if the American models are compatible with the Japanese models and games or not. And Branden would be more interested in the American games anyways. Because when we went to look at the Gameboy in Makuhari the games looked really weird! Cartoons, he's not into and Noboru and I didn't even know who they were, lol. At least we figured, if we bought him an American game, he *knows* those characters, like they got a Nemo game, Charlie and the Chocolate factory game, Chicken Little game, Herbie the love bug game (Branden wants this big time and we tried to get it in Guam, but they were sold out...no worries though because you know me, I will get it for him!)
They got Sponge Bob square pants games and just games and characters more interesting for our son. So, which is the major reason why we opted to get him the game in the US.
So, at the mall in Guam the lady and man who worked there we were talking to. Told us that we should *not* buy the Gameboy advance, like we planned to. Huh, we were thinking? But then they said, the Gameboy Advance is being phased out, because it's simply a very old game system and they have a new thing out now, that's tons better! Hmmm we didn't know this! And that this newest system is called Nintendo DS (gameboy is nintendo too btw), anyways this newest system called DS, plays all DS games *plus* all gameboy advance games, (which why would anyone by the older model, that only plays one type of cartridges, when you can buy this that plays both types of cartridges! So according to them at the store, this was the better one to get! Especially since it can do everything the gameboy advance can do except do *more* and be able to accept 2 different types of cartridges! The DS cartrdige and the gameboy advance. Where as, the gameboy advance can only play gameboy advance software.
However, this game itself, was twice the price of the Gameboy advance. Plus we wanted to buy him a game too. Noboru being a total guy said..."we gotta get this one, because it's better", lol. Errr, okay! So, we bought him the Nintendo DS and one game for a starter. Called Mario Carts, this is the #1 game according to Target.com. And Branden's loves racing games so, he'll love this.
Branden was dead asleep in the stroller, when we bought this so he has no idea at all. I wrapped it last night already too! Each of our boys will be happy come Christmas morning : )
