Possibly the best hand held console
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by yackers1

Advantages: Sleek and stylish, vast amount of games, great fun to play, wi-fi enabled
Disadvantages: Not the best graphics and audio of the hand helds, still expensive

The Nintendo DS Lite The Nintendo DS Lite (“NDSL”) was released in the UK in June 2006 as a replacement for the Nintendo DS (“NDS”). The NDSL is approximately 39% smaller and 21% lighter than its predecessor, however the signatory dual screen remains the same size, which is some feat. In order to put this reduction in to perspective I have included the dimensions and weight of the NDSL in a ‘technical specs’ section at the end of this review. In ... Read review

Touch Me
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by dudeglove

Advantages: Long battery life, great choice of games available, multiplayer capabilities are endless
Disadvantages: Big handed people might suffer from their hands cramping, Wi-Fi access can be tricky

Seeing as both the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP came out at roughly the same time, and therefore seen as rival next-gen handheld consoles, I thought it would be appropriate to tell a little story. I watched a live instalment of a regularly broadcasted show on Gamespot.com recently. Now although the whole thing is presented by a bunch of middle-aged nerds, the material is always focused on the latest up and coming stuff from the gaming industry. ... Read review

Review of Nintendo DS Lite by stegasaurus_sam

Advantages: great new design
Disadvantages: possibly limited features?

The Nintendo DS lite looks great plays better! the DS will be hitting UK streets on the 23rd of June in either black or white finish. When the original DS was launched people expected great things me being one of them I had worked pretty much all year for this thing but when I had it, I couldn’t help but thing there was something wrong with it. However a true blue Nintendo fan such as myself was still not put of, almost! Then it hit me this is not ... Read review

I HAVE A PINK ONE!
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by leofluffy69

Advantages: fun to play with, lots of games to play
Disadvantages: hard to find...sold out everywhere

...love Mario so really the Nintendo DS is a great console for me. The console also has the ability to link wirelessly to other DS users which is great for anyone wanting to play against another DS user. I grew up with a Gameboy and absolutely loved it. I was never into Playstation at all and found the D-Pad and buttons very easy to get used to, however even beginners will find it easy. SETUP ---------- The setup was very easy and unlike my ...

DS Delight
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by buggsy2008

Advantages: too many to list
Disadvantages: none that ive seen so far

How I Discovered It I knew about the DS like most other people, through word of mouth. I never had the desire to buy one until the beginning of 2008 when for some strange reason I set my heart on getting one. I think it was because I had seen the adverts for brain training on the tv a lot at this point, they were on almost every day. Then I played on my friends step-mums DS and that was it, my mind was made up, I had to have a DS, all ... Read review

Nintendo DS Lite Review
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by EmPorter

Advantages: Brighter screen, smaller, lighter in weight, clearer colours, bigger stylus
Disadvantages: GBA Cartridges sticks out slightly when inserted.

Okay, so the Nintendo DS lite is an updated remake of the Nintendo DS; it definatly boosted up the popularity of this handheld console. Nintendo totally re-done the design, for the best! Instead of the bulky, heavy look the original DS had, they made the DS lite smaller and much more easier to hold. And what's more! They come in many other colours other than white such as Pink (Which I have), Black, Navy blue and some other colours. ... But that ... Read review

A Console You Can Fit In Your Handbag
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by wigglylittleworm

Advantages: Portable, massive range of games, durable.
Disadvantages: Playing can be addictive!

...Official headphones are sold by Nintendo but I have also used the headphones from my I-pod. The built in microphone is used in some games. Some titles such as Brain Training rely on speech recognition but I've found they don't recognise my Scottish accent. Other games will ask you to blow into the microphone and some like Carnival Games merely ask you to shout as loud as you can to register your volume. The console is available in a range of ...

Pocket Rocket We Have Lift Off !!!!!!!!
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by bazzaoleary77

Advantages: Wireless, Big improvement on First DS
Disadvantages: Battery Life Kinda Poor

I bought my son the Nintendo DS Lite last week and what a buy it was looking on the FridayAd website I found one for sale locally for only £90 including 2 games one of which was Animal Crossing. It was brand new and had everything with it as you get when you buy from the shops so saving about £50 I was a very happy dad. The console itself in most retailers is £99 and thats without any games or a case to keep it in. The console was bought to replace ... Read review

THE NINTENDO DS....A CONSOLE FOR ALL AGES
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by nim3

Advantages: GREAT GAMES...TOUCH SCREEN...SMALL SIZE
Disadvantages: NONE

I brought the Nintendo ds lite over a year ago now, I brought the lite instead of the original simply because it looked better and weighed better. Usually the ds is aimed mainly at children, but as I am no child I find that it caters for my gaming needs very well. This review will highlight the highs and lows (of which there aren't many) of the Nintendo ds, and why I would recommend it to potential buyers either for themselves, or their children. The ...

Nintendo DS Lite - Hours of entertainment
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by rose1986

Advantages: Great quality, sleek design, fantastic features
Disadvantages: None

...my younger Sister purchased a Nintendo DS Lite for herself and she loves it. There are so many games out there so there is something for everyone so you'll never get bored with your purchase. I think the reason she likes it so much as she has the "pink" version which is nice and girlie. It is also a nice size and very light, which can fit into her bag when travelling etc. What is a Nintendo DS Lite? A Nintendo DS Lite is similar to the Nintendo ... Read review

Review of Nintendo DS Lite by jollyjacob

Advantages: It has some amazing extra features and games
Disadvantages: There are none

The Nintendo DS is an extremely advanced gaming device, built for mainly young children's entertainment, but can include games such as Brain Training; a game to test your knowledge on a variety of different games which are really fun even for adults! It also has a touch screen (bottom) which is very useful for creating thrilling games which can not be found on "X-BOX" or "PS3". Mario Kart DS is one of the best DS games around, because of the characters ... Read review

Headache Alert!
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by wantaratgirl

Advantages: Nice and compact, lighter than the DS.
Disadvantages: Expensive, Headache causing becuase the screen's too bright!

The Nintendo DS is a great idea, easy to use, hand-held, you can travel with it. The Lite is even better - slightly smaller, slicker, more appealing to adults as well and of course lighter. So what is wrong with the Nintendo DS? THE GOOD The Nintendo DS Lite is small, compact, easy to carry around and is rather slick. IT doesn't involve you twiddling your thumbs all the time on little joy sticks and comes with an all together more peaceful selection ... Read review

Nintendo DS Lite is FAB
Review of Nintendo DS Lite by kduggan

Advantages: Small, wifi built in, everyone has one!!
Disadvantages: Graphics can be a bit commodore 64

...I've always stayed clear of Nintendo as I always considered the type of games available for them as childish and basic.......oh, how wrong I was! My wife bought a pink DS lite in November 2006 - I was hooked. I had one small problem...I couldn't be seen in public playing on a pink DS. By December I had my own white DS and I love it to pieces. It's a cracking piece of kit - I love the touch screen and the different ways that software companies ... Read review
