After seeing adverts on TV for brain training and Professor Layton I really wanted to get my hands on a Nintendo DS but I couldn’t bring myself to spend so much money on one just for 2 games as... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages internet is hard to set up, many games are cheap and not much fun, white version gets dirty quick

    Not what I thought it would be Today I will tell you about my Nintendo DSi that I bought two years ago. I think I now have enough long time experience to tell you all about it! Shopper's appeal Before I bought my Nintendo DSi, lots of my friends already had one. I always looked at it with a little envy. It looks so cute, like a little laptop, and everyone seemed to enjoy playing with it so much. I've had a Gameboy Colour for years and still bought games for it on flea markets, but as there are no new games for it anymore, I was longing for something portable to play games on again. But the DS ... more

    4 Stars The new Nintendo Ds: Dsi Review with images 18/01/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Easy in use, 2 camera's bigger screens

    Disadvantages Disadvantages lesser battery life, more expensive then Ds lite

    Nintendo DSI Since 2009 the third DS game console from Nintendo is for sale, named the Nintendo Dsi. The Nintendo Dsi is the follow up from the Nintendo Dsi lite and looks a lot alike, but there are differences. One of those differences is the higher price and that makes many people wonder is it really worth buying this new more expensive Ds? The brand Nintendo In the year 1889 Fusajiro Yamauchi started the company Nintendo in Japan and started making card games and focused on making toys. Almost a hundred year later the company changed their focus from toys to making videogames and introduced ... more

    Advantages Advantages Bigger screens, new menu display, ACC music playback, cameras, Lighter, new mat finish

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lack of GBA slot, VGA cameras, doesnt play MP3s, price

    The 3rd generation of nintendo’s duel screen handheld console brings us the DSi. Evolving from its other models Nintendo decided to add a few new features that make this device more of an entertainment system rather than a games console. Design Although slightly bigger than the DS lite the DSi is 12% thinner, over than that there’s not too much difference between the design of the two. That being said, the shiny fingerprint loving glossy finish that the DS lite supported has been replaced with a smooth mat finish which attracts no fingerprints what so ever. Of course the most noticeable new ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great game play

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the matt finish shows up dirt and some of the extra features aren't any good

    An uprgrade that isn't as good as the one before I was devastated when my beloved Nintendo DS lite smashed and as I used it so often I knew I had to have a new one. I decided to upgrade to the Dsi instead of buying another lite as I thought there was no point in buying an older version when they already had a newer one on the market and didn’t want to end up with one that was obsolete. When the Dsi arrived from Amazon I was really excited to see what it would look like and I have to say I was a little disappointed. My ds lite was green and made from glossy plastic and was absolutely gorgeous ... more

    Advantages Advantages Takes pictures and playsback sounds.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages They are the only differences between the new and the old.

    This is the third year on the trot that my daughter has requested a new Nintendo DS light, the first time as a novelty item and the fact that they could be bought in pink. The second year due to the fact she has knackered the screen or at least the sensitivity of it and the third year due to the fact that you can know take pictures! This time I refused to buy her it myself, making her save her birthday money to buy the unit, unfortunately she is seemingly very spoilt and had enough money to buy this and two games, so much for teaching her the value of money! The product I will now review is ... more
