Superior Handheld
Nintendo has dominated the handheld industry since the GameBoy came out. Now that Sony has stepped in, some predicted that their hold might finally be breaking. Not so, and there is no better proof than the DS Lite.
The Lite is an evolutionary step over the original DS, similar to the GameBoy Advance SP. It has a more compact form factor, brighter screens, a side-mounted power button, weighs less, has longer battery life, and simply looks more fashionable. The basic functionality of...

An Innovative Gaming System
About a month ago, I decided to purchase my first game system since the origional NES. I got the DS, and I must say I love it. Somehow, they have found an idea that seemed to only be a gimmick (the dual screens) and turn it into something new and fun. So far, I have bought New Super Mario Brothers, Mario 64 DS, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Mario Kart, and a Japan-English dictionary program (my main justification for buying it in the first place). It is a great way to kill 5 min. or kill a few hours. ...

very fun
I have owned the first DS since the day it came out. I bought the DS Lite about a week after it came out and I was amazed of the changes. It is so much lighter and is just a lot better to have than the original. The screen emits about as much light as the sun. It is like DLP technology compared to a regular TV. Plus, most of the games look loads better. Sme people say there is a stress crack, but I have had mine since June and it is still in very good condition. My advice is to you to buy this D...

Perfect portable gaming experience
I'm a man in my late 30s who used to enjoy video games, but between work, going back to school, and children, I just don't have time for gaming any more. So it's been ~5 years since I tried any gaming system, much less a handheld (which I've always viewed as worthless from a gaming perspective). Recently, I had a long business trip, and friends recommended the Nintendo DS Lite and Advanced Wars: Dual Strike. I bought both on their recommendation and I can honestly say it is a truly fantastic...

Brief Review: Nintendo Scores Big Again
Usually when a company produces a "new and improved" version of a product, there's no need to invest excitement, but for those of you who are already big fans of the Nintendo DS, the DS Lite is a brilliant handheld gaming device. I highly recommend that you upgrade to the DS Lite. For those of you who are considering the DS for the first time, I hope the following summary is of help to you in your decision. Here is a brief rundown of my pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Highly at...

The ds has been perfected.
Not only does the lite look better, it has been tweaked to perfection in many ways:
WAY brighter screen, makes the original ds look really dull.THe brightness also improves the colors, and makes them seem more vivid.
Stylus is thicker and longer.
Touch screen has a much more scratch resistant coating.
The touch screen seems bigger because instead of being sunken in the ds, it practically pops out, making it look closer and nicer.
T...

Lighter is Better... Especially When It's Gold
NOTE: The review is no different from the Nintendo DS review I have posted under the Nintendo DS. But I will talk a little about The Legend of Zelda as well.
People will no doubt find the ...

First Time Handheld Owner Quite Satisfied
So, this is the first hand held game system I have personally owned. I chose it because of its sleek styling and convenient size. I didn't need all the bells and whistles of the PSP - this works great for me for anytime play.
It is a great size - fits right into about the smallest purse I can find along with a wallet, checkbook and cell phone.
It is really user-friendly, with a self-explanatory menu and easy operation. It has easily used components, and the screens have adjust...

It's Time For an Upgrade
I got the original DS back in November of 2004 when it first launched and always felt that the design could somehow be improved. I assume I wasn't the only one who felt this way b/c not too long after, Nintendo announced a redesign for the system....and Boy what a Redesign!
- The first and most important change has to be the new quality of both screens. They are about 3x more vibrant and 4x as bright as the original DS' screens. The colors in the games pop out and truly come alive t...

Excellent for every age
Ok I admit it, I have too many game systems. And with all of the choices, I still play my DS more than the others combined. Why? Well, it has the most interesting games with the most fun interface (the touch screen). The new DS Lite is nearly flawless. The lite screens are brighter and that makes a huge difference. I did a side by side comparison with the original DS and was amazed at the lite's brightness.
The only negative I have found with the DS (both versions) is that the volum...
