Advantages: Wi-Fi, wide range of games.
Disadvantages: Bad screen, not for 'hardcore' gamer.

The Nintendo DS is an enjoyable game system. There is a wide range of games for all ages and many online games for the player who wants to play against gamers around the world. I wouldn't recommend the Nintendo DS to 'hardcore' gamers due to it's graphics and controls. Personally I think the Nintendo DS is mostly for the younger gamer who wants something to play in the car or on the plane. The Wi-Fi is very good for games, I've never got any lag ...
...the stylus and/or fingers. The Nintendo DS plays Nintendo DS games (obviously) and GBA games, this is a very nice feature because then you won't have to have a Game Boy Advance/SP and a Nintendo DS. The Nintendo DS DOES NOT play original Game Boy games. The DS includes a built in microphone which is the first time a microphone has ever been put in a handheld system. The microphone is used in Online Games and also games like WarioWare Touched and ... Read review

Advantages: Good fun, cheap
Disadvantages: No new games available

I used to have one of these when i was younger and loved it then and have recently bought another one that both me and my partner still love even though the console is a good few years old, there are some brilliant games for it that are available really cheap from games shops including golden eye and f1 racing which are games i loved as a child and still love now. There is nothing what so ever complicated about the console and how it works compared ...
...get my head around. Value for money on the actual console was brilliant paid around £17 including 4 games for a boxed N64 in really good condition. The only downside is that no new games will ever be made for the N64 so you will have to keep sourcing second hand games. It does not have any internet features found in some of todays consoles but i don't see this as making it any less fun. I would definately recommend it to anyone that quality is ... Read review

Advantages: It's in colour, duh!
Disadvantages: Quiet, no cool style tretris like the original Gameboy..

Although it would seem to be an old piece of kit now-a-days, I can't help but wonder what I would have been like without having a GameBoy Advance to help me through those boring airport terminals, or ridiculously long coach journeys. Of course, it was only on holiday that I used the GameBoy - using it any other time just didn't seem right! At the time, it was a magnificent mesh of modern and old, the mixture of new colours and shapes with the old ...
...mine is stowed away, waiting for a day to reappear, and it is still in working order. The graphics, sound and games may not be much, but they are fun to get nostalgic with! This is definitely going to be one of those retro toys to return in a few years time, and when that time comes, I'll be there waiting with my tacky plastic backlight, and interchangeable-various-colours-covers to auction away.. ;] ...

Advantages: Games are good, long battery life, etc
Disadvantages: Lack of addon attachments

The gameboy Advance SP has a great range of games and great graphics. Sound was OK but a bit tinny. It also lacks a Headphone Port. Its also very durable and I have dropped mine many times. No more than a few scratches! Its also rather nice looking and comfortable to hold. Battery life was very good as well. Up to 18 hours on full charge! There are loads of games out there to play. Any game I have bought I still play all the time. The one thing ... Read review
