THE BEST SYSTEM IN PORTBLE GAMING HISTORY!!! The NDS Lite is far more the best portable system ever!I recieved the Polar White DS Lite for my 14th B-day 4 days ago! 4 DAY AGO meaning I hadn’t even had it long to realize it’s greatness! There are tons of great games for the DS. There’s Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart, Resident Evil, Metroid Prime Hunters, Hotel Dusk, Touch of the dead, New Super Mario Bros. (An old classic Remaked into better graphics!), Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Ultimate Mortal Kombat (Coming out soon!), Dementium: The Ward (Coming out Soon), the new Zelda game thats coming out soon, Mario Party DS (Coming out soon), The Sims 2, Sims 2 Pets, Nintendogs, Purr Pals, Phoenix Wright: Justice for all, Final Fantasy, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, My Sims (Coming Soon), Sims Castaway (Coming Soon), Yoshi’s Island DS, Super Princess Peach, Tony Hawk American Sk8t Land DS, Tony Hawk Down Hill Jam DS, and many more. You can also play all of your GBA games on it too! But not original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. Which is pretty much the only thing wrong with the NDS Lite. If you are looking for DS games with 3D graphics, you might want to look at: Resident Evil DS, Youch of the Dead DS, New Super Mario Bros. DS (But still on a 2D platform), Super Mario 64 DS, Final Fantasy DS, Sims 2 DS, Sims 2 Pets 2 DS, Mario Party DS (Coming Soon), Ultimate Mortal Kombat DS (Coming Soon), Dementium: The Ward (Coming Doon), The new Zelda game thats coming out, Mario Kart DS, Mario Hoops 3 on 3 DS, Animal Crossing: Wild World DS, American Sk8t Land, Tony Hawk Down Hill Jam, Hotel Dusk, Phoenix Wright: Justice for all, all the sports games for the DS, and many more DS games with great graphics. Now about the actual console. DS stands for Dual Screen for those who wanted to know. The DS is way brighter that the original DS. In fact the lowest brightness level on the DS Lite is a little bit brighter than the highest brightness level on the regular DS. Therefore with the DS Lite you can go into dark areas and play, you can even play in the bed at night when you can’t sleep! Another thing is the DS Lite is smaller and sexier than the regular DS. The DS Lite has cool glossy transparent plastic on top of white, black, or pink plastic towards where it looks like and probably was desinged with the help of the iPod company “Apple”. The only bad thing about this is that all three colors attract finger prints. They are easy to clean of if you use a cloth made with 100% cotton, the cloth people use to clean eye glasses works perfect! The DS Lite’s small size allows you to easily slide it into your pocket without the struggle the old bulky DS would have given you. The DS Lite even has the DS symbol on the front which the regular DS did not have. The on and off button is now a slider on the top edge of the DS Lite so that you won’t accidently shut off the DS Lite, which was a small problem with the original DS. The stylus is now easiar to reach. The stylus is also thicker, bigger, and is really hard to break which is a good thing for those with adult hands, though the stylus is bigger than the original, it still slides into the stylus slot on the DS like a glove. The button on the DS Lite are softer than the original’s so if you hit the buttons hard and you have long nails (which by the way I have nails so its a relief for me) it won’t hurt. The DS Lite and GBA SP’s charger hook ups are the exact same size which means the DS Lite use the GBA SP car charger and the orignal can’t because the orignal has a bigger charger hook up than the DS Lite, and the DS Lite has better battery life. So if you have the regular DS I would totally reccomend that you upgrade to the DS Lite. Alright, now that I’m done comparing lets talk about the sytem alone. What you will find in the box when you purchse the DS Lite is : a DS Lite, charger, extra stylus, DS Lite instruction manual, and a few Nintendo advertizing ads. The DS Lite’s battery life can last 15 to 19 hours on the lowest brightness level and I know because I played it every day for 4 days and only had to charge it once and when I get a new system I play it ALL the time and the DS Lite instruction manual says so, so don’t think I’m exagerating about it. The DS Lite has battery info. There are two lights on the right hand corner hinge on the DS Lite that turns red when the battery runs low. A warning even comes up on the middle of the screen in the middle of a game warning you to save because the battery could die any minute. You could change the back ground color on the screen on the DS setting if you want. For the parents out there who are conserned about the picto chats and Wi Fin connection can breath because you have to have friend codes to chat online on the DS which means you have to already know the person before you can contact them on the DS which sucks. Plus you have to be within 30 feet of that person which I think is really stupid. Nintendo probably has it this way to protect younger players from sexual predaters. So WiFi capabilities is useless unless your under the same roof as someone with a DS. The DS Lite also comes with a GBA cartrige slot that prevents dust from getting into the GBA slot and also keeps the DS Lite looking slick when there isn’t a GBA game in it. One bad thing about the DS Lite that was never a problem with the original DS is that when there is a GBA game in it, the game sticks out. It’s not really a big deal because it doesn’t effect your playing at all. It just looks weird. I admit I never was a big hand held fan because I prefered the games on the T.V. screen because I like good graphics and a big screem. But the DS Lite is a big step is hand held history because not only does it have the graphics of a home console but the game is edited to fit the DS screen towards where the screen size doesn’t even matter! Kind of like how at the movie theater the movie looks great on the big screen and when you buy it on DVD it still looks great on your smaller regular T.V. The DS Lite’s touch screen doesn’t scratch up if you just use the stylus that comes with it. At the tip of the DS Lite stylus is soft plastic that doesn’t scratch the touch screen. So those who say that the touch screen scratch up easily must be using something other that the stylus that comes with it. For those who wish that the DS could have internet capabilities you can buy the opera browser for DS Lite. The opera Browse allows you to surf the web on your DS and it only cost $30. If you want to play music and videos on you DS buy an R4 card. I have a video Ipod so I’m not really concentrating on that. There’s one more special feature the DS Lite has that little know about. You can even use the DS Lite as a controller for the WII! Well thats all! Oh! And for those who says the DS games are kiddie, there are alot of T rated games and a few M rated games available for DS. GTA is even out for GBA! There are even alot of M and T rated games coming out during the holiday, plus all the games are rated E for EVERYONE! Meaning all ages! Plus all the Mario games are ment for all ages. So pretty much the DS Lite was the best hand held I have ever gotten! Which is a big step because my first had held was a Game Boy pocket, my 2and was a GBA, then it’s the fabulous DS Lite! PS. I know I may sound like a Nintendo fan girl in my review but I’m actually not because I own an Xbox, game cube, and Playstation 2.
I’m not a gamer but LOVE it I bought DS coz I just want to play one particular game. After I bought it, i realize that there are 100++ fun games. I play it everyday. So cool
Charlie’s replacement Nintendo DS The Nintendo DS was well packaged and arrived in new condition with nothing broken. Shipping was very fast - it arrived in 4 days. It works great - it was a replacement for my son’s game which fell in the pool.

Pokemon! Pokemon Rocks!! I haven’t beat the game yet but I’m having so much fun already! =]
Diamond I love the game but there are a few cons Cons: The touchscreen is used but its not inovative enough they used the stupid freind codes for the online portion… but there are pros: still has that pokemon feeling great if ur a fan the transfering from old games rocks If you even sorta like pokemon, give this game or pearl a shot.
Great fun for kids My kid really enjoy this kind of games and I believe it’s not a dangerous game so I like that.
I found this site where you answer their corporate survey and they will send you a free Nintendo Wii!
