Should I keep my DS, fatty?

My wife and I both have DS lites, but I still have my original DS kicking around somewhere. Now I'm trying to figure if I should hold on to it, or try to get some moolah for it.
Why keep it? Good question, thanks for asking. That would mainly be thanks to the GameCube. Four Swords, Crystal Chronicles, and Pac Man Vs. were all supposed to be fun times, but I never was able to get in on them to their full potential due to not having the proper number of GBAs (or a house or hookers).
So along comes the Wii. One of its original OMGCOOL selling points was its potential ability to interface with the DS- especially since you wouldn't need to buy a cable to do it. But I haven't really seen any games take advantage of this, especially not in a multiplayer fashion. Sure the DS demos on the the Nintendo channel are slick, but there's no reason to have an extra DS around for that- there's not enough of an urge to try to play Ninja Gaiden, Crosswords, and Cooking Mama all at the same time.
Does anyone know of any games coming out that it would be worth hanging on to an extra DS to use as a controller? Or should I tell it that its sister is thinner, more attractive, and easier to get into my pants, then kick it to the curb?

No need to keep it around. Take the money you get from it and take your wife out to dinner. Don't want her getting jealous.
Give it to a neice/nephew/brother/sister/cousin/little neighbor boy/girl with a copy of NSMB and brighten their day.

How are those poor atrophied nubs in the place of your eyes doing?
I followed the philosophy that if I wasn't in a place where I could see it properly, I wasn't supposed to be playing it anyway.
Consequently I played it within the house, at noontime outside, and not much else.
(And I have 225 degree vision, both eyes, thanks for asking.)

And here I thought I was the only one who referred to it as DSTank.
That thing is a brutal, armor-plated beast. So much abuse, and all of it with no effect whatsoever.
A lesser handheld would've crumbled by now. Crumbled, I say!
Personally, my own DS is just rusting up in my locker. It's not being used at all due to me just being annoyed when having to small on such a small screen. But there are tons of great games for it, no doubt.

(I do this to every thread where someone doesn't want a DS. And i'm still serious)
...you never know.
(Or sell it, then realize that the day after you sold it: They started integrating a bunch of games to the Wii-to-DS capabilities)
Or sell it to FyreWulff. I would have said the same thing, but he beat me to it. ;-)
Brother, I've found you!
@gamefacts - Totally and utterly true gaming facts on the regular!
I've been eating a lot of donuts.
And you fuckers know exactly who I'm talking about. Yeah, you.
Yeah but you're only 5'1, fatty.
You will when your old red ds has all its hinges crack apart and you've got this floppy noodle that's being held on by a couple wires for the screen and speakers.
Hrm... I guess I could give it to a kid them sell them as a bundle on eBay...
