Nintendo DS Lite

Good portable game console – My experience with the Nintendo DS Lite was good because of it's, long battery life, sleek design, fairly light, Game Boy Advance Game Slot, Pictochat (Social media using Bluetooth like connection)and it's DS Download Play (Multi-player Integration) where if one person doesn't have that specific game the other person that does can share using the… Read more

DS Download Play so both people can enjoy the game*. * Game must have multi-player option. Pictochat is like a social networking option where you can talk wireless to other Nintendo DS whatever make or model only if in a certain range. Some games allow you to connect to the internet and play..... Locally, Regionally and International with other players owning a DS Lite also any make or model. WPA, WPA2 and WPA2 Enterprise connections with DS Lite may not work except for WEP connections which can be a times frustrating. The stylus is almost not needed when you can just use your fingers to navigate around the screen. Another good thing about the DS Lite is the charging times. In my opinion when a DS Lite battery is "dead" and you charge it to full power it takes for me about 45 mins approx*. * Universal and International chargers may vary in charging times.n There are two screens on the DS lite which is very helpful in terms of playing really complex games which makes games so much easier to play then single screen portable consoles. There is a microphone located near the top part of the bottom screen and the bottom part of the top screen which is very fun to use in microphone used games. There is also 2 lights indicating if your low on battery, (red) if you are connected to the internet or connected to another DS (flashing green) and if you are charging your DS Lite (orange). (Please note, when your DS Lite is fully charged, the charging light will be turned off. More of the good things of the DS Lite is that the DS lite is RSA Secured preventing hacking. Then there is the Game Boy Advance Slot allowing to play your nostalgic GBA games on your DS but the GBA game will disable the front screen while playing the GBA game in "Slot 2" it revolutionizes the DS allowing you to play previous version games on a DS Lite*. * All versions of DS have the same GBA feature. The only bad thing of the DS Lite is it's poor graphics in some Nintendo DS games. Good, efficient and fun Poor graphics

Excellent – The Nintendo Dual Sreen Lit version is definitely the more attractive and functional upgrade from the original Nintendo DS. It's sleek and attractive while being durable (I have dropped mine many times and it hasn't broken, my cousin even dropped it in a puddle and it still works) It has stylish curved edges and an overall nice size and weight. It… Read more

fits the average palm (but it's sadly a little too big to fit in your pants or jacket's pockets comfortably. It has a great range of games available and can play your old NDS games AND Gameboy Advanced games. Attractive, functional, battery lasts for ages! Bright screen and loud sound Screen is low resolution, but great for the games it carries

Good – Its a good game to have in hand for children to play whilst in the car there are also some good educational games such as brain train available which get the children thinking and also they enjoy playing them. I do have to limit the time my son plays on his as they are addictive and he would often rather sit inside playing on it instead of going… Read more

out and playing with his friends outside. It is portable and lightweight and perfect for children to use in the car on long car journeys. They are very easy to break or scratch. They also make your children zombies and don't encourage interaction with other children. Also playing them is addictive for children.

OK – The nintedo ds is not worth buying if you already own other consoles, it is more for youinger children and costs to much to go out and buy all the games you want. it is good because yopu can take it anywhere with you and play games wiht other people Nintendo ds is portable, comes in various colours, hundrouds of different types of games to choose… Read more

from, easy to use and can be used by children of all different ages games for the nintendo ds are expensive, really kiddish and not really for adults, costs a lot of money just to buy one, get dirty really easily and can lose the games / accessories easily,

OK – Overall opinion, the ndsl is good, its alot better than any released before its date, if your lite in the pocket then the ds lite is for you :) The nintendo d s lite is light !! its small and has two display screens. As the nintendo gameboy series (game boy, game boy colour, game boy advance) all only have one screen. The orgional nintendo ds has… Read more

proven to be a bit too bulky and has had a few techniqual problems so its great that nintendo brought out the ndsl; Still not perfect, most of my friends have problems with the touch screens being faulty, they cost about $80 in stores to repair which sets a childs pocket back a little.

OK – Every nintendo fans best friend the nintendo DS lite has a much more sleek and nicer look than the original Nintendo DS although while we have upgraded to a nicer overall appearance nintendo has failed to deliver a sturdy opponent to the original DS. The screen does easily get scratches which can make gameplay much harder overall to play, so when… Read more

you play any game that relies on the bottom screen you will ultimately suffer greatly as the stylus will get stuck on each scratch leading to growing frustration. Game selection is rather broad so there is alot of choice out there. Consider also purchasing a screen protector with your DS Dual screen, easy to hold Screen scratches and smudges easily

Hours of fun – This was my first hand console upgrade from the gameboy. I found it fits perfectly in 2 hands making for easy playing of games. The colours are good, and the touch screen option makes for more precise game playing. I liked that you could chose the console cover and that accessories are readily available. This console makes for hours of fun, But cannot use the games for upgraded versions.

Excellent – Prefer this over the Playstation. Versatile. Much wider reach and variety of program genre for its price. Life is more interesting for it. =P Affordable w/o being over the top. Platform on which to access a host of game genre from kid to granny. Multiplayer capability allows "some" interaction rather than gaming in isolation. Facilitates a host… Read more

of games like Nintendogs, Brain Training...etc etc or educational simulation games that is not totally a waste of time. Addictive. Some games are time consuming & played in isolation - not good if sustained. Should not be used as a babysitter/ kidsitter for convenience.

Great fun for the kids – This console is great fun for kids, but there isnt many games for older genres. The console does have some good games though, one problem is: the graphics aren't too good at all. Even though, it is enjoyable to play. But, they dont seem to last too long, I had mine for a year and then the screen starting making strange colors eg: red would become… Read more

yellow. Then the screen went floppy, it flopped back all the way. So overall, it is a great console, just not very durable. Inexpensive Not very durable, bad graphics

Excellent – The DS is great fun, and there are lots of great games out there. They are getting cheaper now because later versions are out and the 3DS is coming next year. It is worth getting just to play Mario Kart. Portable gaming. Excellent games - especially the Zelda games, Professor Layton and Mario. I like the 'cartoony' graphics. I am left handed,… Read more

and the games I have played seem to cater for this (the Zelda games ask which hand you use, and the menu items are placed accordingly). Parts wearing out.

The battery charge when the screen is at it's brightest could last longer.

Excellent – This is a great product. The best gaming console as you can use it anywhere and it is suitable from kids right through to adults. So many things! My husband and I each have one and enjoy playing games against one another. You can get all the old classic games like Zelda and Mario. It is great to take on the train. The graphics are really… Read more

impressive. The games aren't too expensive either We had an issue with the directional button breaking, but were able to fix it using replacement parts. Also, it is easy to damage the screen, so make sure you purchase screen protectors

Excellent – A nintendo ds is a must have for long car trips or just for fun. Both the kids love to play it and dad (and mum) sneaks in a game here or there too. The DS lite is small and compact, but not too small. There are a wide variety of games available for purchase (separately. It is fun for the kids and mum and dad. I love that you can recharge the… Read more

battery by connecting the unit to mains power for a while. The screen protectors you need to buy separately are a pain to apply and scratch easily but better than wrecking the DS screen

Good – Overall i'm happy with my buy and it does work in making a child brighter. Battery life is beyond reasonable with many of hours playing time Yeah i like the Nintendo DS lite it works quite well with keeping the kids busy and amused at the same time. Great games, it's not all about fun your learning new things with these games. Nice and slim The… Read more

visual quality is not too bad but enough to say it's bad. The DS doesn't come with all the adapters like USB or In car charger. Battery wears down over time which is ok because all batteries do that.

Good – Very good portable gaming console. Great for anyone. Large variety of games. Great sound and Screen Colours. Ajustable screen brightness. Excellent Product. Great for any age very fun. Affordable. Available in Great colours ajustable brightness for screens. Excellent touch screen. Large variety of games available also Gameboy Advance work in the… Read more

second game slot, games can also be downloaded from other Ds's for multiple players. Nintendo Ds Lite can be played everywhere even when it is being charged. Battery life depends on the game an also the brightness setting for the screens and the sound settings. Also Players can join Chatrooms and talk with other people within range. Battery life decreases over time.

Excellent – The Nintendo DS Lite is a really good console to have. It really comes in handy when you have to fill in some time, but don't want to lug around a heavy book or a pile of magazines. Perfect for trips and playing at home when bored. A really good, portable form of entertainment that can easily fill time. The games are reasonable and have a decent… Read more

selection. The touchscreen is a good touch to the console, and definitely leads the way in creativity for hand held consoles. There are only few games that suit more mature players, with most of them being child-friendly typical Nintendo games (which isn't bad).

Excellent – Great little game systems, kids love them and me and my wife have had a play too. The touch screen looks a bit flimsy but seems fairly robust. I'd certainly recommend these. Great compact size for kids to carry around. Kids love them and enjoy the picto chat and wireless 2 player games. Keeps the kids occupied on long trips and when you cant give… Read more

them full attention. Lots of games choices and different stuff. Seems fairly robust, kids haven't damaged them yet. Top games a bit costly and it's an expensive bit of equipment for young kids to carry around. They've now brought out the DSi so the kids want to upgrade although there's nothing wrong with existing systems.

Good – I think this is the best portable gaming console. Nintendo always make great quality products and engaging and fun games. This console also appeals to a wide age range. My wife and father love it. The Lite version is lighter and has good screen brightness. If this one broke, I would immediately buy a new one, that is how good it is. Light weight.… Read more

The touch screen adds a new dimension to games. Nintendo games are very high quality. Great range of games. Very reliable system. After a few years of use the touchscreen is no longer working perfectly. At the bottom left I have to place the pointer a few millimetres to the right. The screen is small and the sound is pretty average.

Excellent – Purchased on doctors advice for brain training.My wife had never played a game on a computer or a game consul & she has found it very easy to use.Now I struggle to get it away from her to do my daily training. The battery life seems reasonable. Light weight,easy to use and battery life Average voice recognition on Brain Training programme.Having trouble getting my wife to give me a go.

Good – Great console for multiplayer, light, good looking, some graphics issues. games are easy with the touch screen. Worth buying and playing with friends. Good looking, light, good touch screen, average battery, microphone, picto chat is good, multiplayer is a standout over the PSP, good games and quite cheap these days Bad speakers, no memory insert, no music or videos or internet, some games expensive and sometimes poor graphics.

Excellent – I got my pink dslite for christmas 2 years ago and it hasnt left my side. i love the puzzle and brain testing games. Since i first have had mine i have reccomended it to my mum who is always out for a good puzzle game or anything to test her brain, she bought one straight away. She also bought one for my grandmother who uses it everyday playing… Read more

her card games and puzzles. For christmas or birthdays we always buy eachother new games to play and trade. I would reccomend them to anyone from 5 to 100. Compact, easy to use, light weight, battery life game lenght(too short), if no game is in it it's pretty useless

Excellent – this is an excellent toy that is suitable for all ages. Because it is a touch screen it comes with a wide range of games such as learning another language or playing games to train your brain. If you purchase the right game such as warioware you can see that all the advance capabilities of this console. this screen brightness means you don't… Read more

need to strain your eyes to see the pictures on the screen. If it is too bright it is adjustable.

This supports gameboy adavnce games. the new dsi may not do the same - great screen size

- great sound quality

- stylus place in a very convient place

- really light

- rechargable battery

- supports your old game boy adavance games

- comes with a microphone - can be pricey

- games are pricey as well

Good – The DS Lite is great update of the original Nintendo DS. It comes equipped which a much brighter and clearer LCD screens and the speakers sound better as well. The size of the unit is very slim and compact; eliminating most of the bulk of the original DS and the button layout and location of the stylus are been improved. The finish of the case… Read more

is also better too, with a variety of colours and a glossy coating. It is a big improvement over the orignal DS and with the library of DS games growing all the time, it is a worthwhile purchase for people looking to game on the go. Bright LCD displays, Impressive library of games Nothing of note

Excellent – I wouldn't want to be without my DS Lite,couldn't understand what the kids were raving about till they bought me one! I love using it for a bit of me time and relaxation.Great lot of games to choose from to suit all ages.Handy and portable and fun! Not too badly priced especially if you buy a bundle which usually comes with two games and… Read more

accessories.Charges quite quickly and lasts a reasonable amount of time,great for keeping kids entertained on long car journeys.I mainly use mine for brain training and relaxation,but also love the fact you can play against others on their DS.Great Buy! Great fun for all ages

Excellent – Was bought this for Xmas and find myself playing it almost every day! Its great entertainment and there is a great choice of games for children and adults alike. From brain training to crosswords to soduko to name a few to multiple childrens arcade or adventure games.Its easy to play once you understand how it works and even had my elderly mother… Read more

playing it and she only gave it up because the battery went flat! Finally a game console I can play in public without fear of ridicule as its for adults and kids alike! Great little portable gadget. Multitude of games suitable for all ages. Battery doesn't last as long as it's supposed to, thankfully have an emergency charger!

Excellent – This model is much better than the original model, and comes in many other colours. The stylus is wider, which makes it more comfortable to grip. There are now a wide range of games to select from, and if you shop around, sometimes you can get them at decent prices. Significant improvement on the original Nintendo DS. Screen brightness can be… Read more

adjusted to the surrounding situation. Improved power and volume control, stylus is in a handier position. The console can be scratched very easily on the outside, but this can be prevented to an extent with a cover. If you don't like small screens, this isn't for you.

Excellent – I owned both a PSP slim and a DS lite. Personally, I preferred my DS lite more! WHY? The most obvious reason would be nintendo have more games. Besides that, it is touch-screen! Which is brilliant, because I love anything with touch-screen function! I love to control everything with just a tip! Moreover, it is smaller and lighter! Meaning, it… Read more

would be easier for me to bring out. I dont like to carry big bags. I love to shop so having a heavy bag is a NO for me too! Bascially, my DS lite consists of everything I ever needed! The best game console you ever need! It would be perfect if the games' price could lower a bit!

Excellent – its worth to have it and take your games everywhere great for everyone from all ages and genders around the world very entertained product to have fun everywhere we go the system is great with the digital screen and the camera seems nice that can allow us to have some fun with the pictures that can be taken even can be posted on facebook just in… Read more

case we are not close to our computer the internet browser is amazing can be connected to any wifi that is close and the dsi ware is included too many apps to choose from including free games on the redemption of dsi points and it has a sd adapter on ot so we can add music and photos to it sont forget to link to other players around to make a challenge and get better gaming skills video and web music files are not supported

Excellent – My 6 year old got a DS Lite for Christmas and absolutely loves it. It has helped him with his hand - eye coordination and reasoning ability. Only down side is that he is forever losing the stylus due to not putting it away but we have a lot of back ups now to alleviate that problem. We also have a lot of fights between him and his 2 year old… Read more

brother. Two year old is able to compentently turn the machine on and play a game without assistance. Hence why we have just bought a second system to stop the fights. Portable, light weight, easy to use easy to drop - Stylus gets lost a lot

Excellent – The best thing I brought for my daughter who is in a wheel chair and does lots of hospital visits. The games cant get scratch and there is a good varity it is good for both boys and girls .You will find it good for traveling .it also has some good activities for the parents from cooking to eye test and games to keep your brain active overall a… Read more

good portable game machine at a average price .But be aware you might need more than one as you will get hooked and be fighting your kid to play it is portable and a rechargable battery sometimes toach screen doesnt react right

Excellent – I love my DS. I have spent hundreds of hours playing games and I love how you can not only get games but also books, recipes and language teaching cartridges. The graphics aren't the most up to date but still look great on the screens and make for very enjoyable games. Is so easy to use, portable, and the battery seems to last for ages. There is a… Read more

great range of games and accessories. You can hook it up to the internet and play online against other players around the world in some games. I have found some games glitch and the touch screen sometimes doesn't accurately respond to where you have touched. This seems to be the game cartridge's problem though, not the console.

Good – I believe that the Nintendo DS Lite is a great game for all ages (expecially as I am now only 41 year - when I fact I am actually 57 years old). You can get a variety of different type of games, including maths, my favourite. Once you get into playing this game it is very hard to stop as it really gets you involved and you want to beat your other… Read more

scores. My only disappointed about the initial cost of the Nintendo and each seperat game. But other than that a great game for all. That this is a portable item and can be taken anywhere with you. It does not pick up the sound of your voice very well, so if possible I say I can not speak.

Good – I adore my pink DS lite, i carry it with me all the time when I've travelling so I can have something to do. I have had no problems at all with the console. If you enjoy nintendo games then you will really enjoy playing the ds. I really like how portable the DS lite is, I enjoy the function of using a stylus on the screen to play games. Love how… Read more

it is rechargable. the screen gets a bit dirty really easily from all the touching of the screen.

The games are a bit dear so I wait until they are on sale.

Excellent – Good fun for the kids, but the original package should really include a car charger. It should not include the padded case to hold games as the hard case will do. Games cartridges can be expensive but they can survive going through the washing machine as still work. This is not a guarantee for every game. Stylus gets lost and they always scratch… Read more

the screen. Great for Autistic kids as a calming tool and useful to use for waiting in lines. screen scratching, when most games require touching the screen

Excellent – The DS is great whenever you're bored and you happen to have it with you, or when you're waiting for something. It's easy to carry and most of the games are really fun. I especially like the Brain games. It lasts forever, but the screen can get quite scratched. A fantastic product. I like the new looks, it's sleeker and the colours are really… Read more

nice. It's easy to carry around, because it's so small. You can play it anywhere. The screen can get scratched easily. Some games can get very pricey, especially when it's JUST ONE game.

Good – Overall, i think it's worth it. It's handy for when you're bored and you can even play Gameboy games on it, so it's great. It's suitable for all ages, since there's loads of games to choose from. Great range of colour variety, small and compact so it's easy to carry and lots of games available. The prices for the games. Bit expensive but there are ways ...
