Advantages: Slique, easy to use, all around beautiful
Disadvantages: Hardly any sport games

...The reason I love the Nintendo DS is because it is a touch screen. This makes it very interactive, the different games that you get allow you to do different things on the touch screen. Such things like in Pokemon Ranger you can catch pokemon by drawing a circle around the pokemon. Or in Cooking mama 2: cooking with friends. You can use the stylus and touch screen to cut, grater, stir, break etc food. The amount of games you can play on this system ...

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: 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

Advantages: Colour, amusement
Disadvantages: Needs batteries, graphics not amazing, outdated technology

My first games console! The Nintendo Gameboy Colour! What would i have done without it?!?! It has seen me through many long journeys, many monotonous rides and unbelievably boring trips! Thats the beauty of it! It's portable, i can take it anywhere, any time as long as i have batteries! The colour is definately a bonus option and i would not go for black and white! Despite this, the technology has become outdated, there are newer products on the ...
...opinion that the old school nintendo gameboy colour is the best! Nice shape, feels nice in the hands so gameplay is good. The graphic quality is not amazing but its certainly not bad! Seriously i would recommend this for children! If you're fed up with hearing "how much longer" then get them one of these gizmos and it will shut them up! As well as that, i guarantee the adults will end up playing it aswell! ... Read review
