Depends on if you have opportunities to play portable games. I work projection at a movie theater, so my DS is much, much more important to me than my Wii. Having the option to open up my DS and play anytime I want while I'm at work is great. Also, if you take a lot of roadtrips where someone else is driving, or spend a lot of time away from home, the DS is definitely the way to go.
Graphically, the DS isn't that impressive, but there are SO many great games, and they have something for everybody.
Like platformers? New Super Mario Bros is probably the best side scrolling platformer released in the past decade. Kirby's Canvas Curse is also amazing, and adds a completely new element to the genre that could really only be done on the DS, or possibly the PC and Wii if you have quick hands.
RPG? Final Fantasy 3 is great, and the DS is the only way you'll be able to play it in the US. And there's Etrian Odyssey and Orcs & Elves for the hardcore dungeon crawler fans. Oh, and Pokemon.
If you like puzzle games, Meteos is amazing. Puzzle Quest is also great, especially if you like RPG's as well (which I do).
I'm just gonna cut this short and say that you made the right choice in getting a DS, and there are just too many good games on it. I'm constantly having to restrain myself from buying DS games, I think I have over 20 games on there now.
