Nintendo DS Lite

==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. ...
...or laptop by using the Nintendo USB Wi-fi connector, which is an additional expense since it doe not come in the box. Connecting to a Wi-fi network is very simple and the NDSL seeks available networks very quickly. To connect you simply press a button and hey presto. It really is that simple. There are many games available that lets you challenge an online opponent via Wi-fi. Whether you actually find an opponent will depend upon the game (obviously ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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. ...
...game under development for the Nintendo DS and the whole thing lasted less than a minute, presumably because the twit from Sony had forced them to cut it short. It didn’t matter; by the end of it I was hooked. The game in question was still in pre-production, but it was clear that it was a standard platformer. Nothing surprising there, except that your hero is a blank slate in terms of graphics. So, before you start adventuring, your job is to draw ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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 ...
...popularity of the DS dropped Nintendo had to do something to save the console from extinction. The DS lite is born; now the DS really looks like it should have done first time around. Nintendo faced this problem before with the arrival of the game boy advance over the game boy. The advance another great leap forward in hand held gaming however the decision to fit the advance without a backlight proved disastrous. Hence came the SP complete with backlight ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

...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 mum could ...
...on the other hand very new to technology and computers required the instruction manual but has now discarded it in the box as she is used to the console. CHARGING --------------------- I have charged my DS 3 times and have managed to get about 7 hours play from each charge. When the DS is charging a red light appears and when it has charged fully the light will go completely. I was surprised to get this as I had expected it to turn green when it ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

== 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 I had ...
...to afford one. == Price and Availability == The DS Lite on it's own is generally £99.95 on it's own in most shops, obviously on some online shops/auction sites you can find it cheaper, but generally the cheapest I've seen it sell for is around £50. It usually works out cheaper to buy the DS as part of a bundle that includes one or more games. Mine for instance was a fathers day offer, I got the black DS Lite with the Brain Training game for free, ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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 ...
...If you did own the Nintendo DS you must've noticed that the microphone was at a very, very odd place; where you had to put your mouth at the bottom left hand corner to speak and look at the game at the same time, and due to the lighting on the DS it was very hard... and uncomfortable for me, especially with games like Metroid Prime hunters. BUT! Nintendo placed the microphone in the middle of the DS lite in between the two screens so it's much more ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

...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 colours ...
...for a slightly higher price. Nintendo offer a two year guarantee as standard with this console so they are obviously confident that it is durable. Peripherals ======== There are a huge range of peripherals available for your DS. Personally I would recommend a big bag to keep your console, charger and games together as well as a smaller portable case to carry around. Protective game cases are also handy with a wide variety available; it makes sense ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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 ...
...graphics you dont really buy Nintendo consoles for graphics mind mainly for game play and thats what get's you hooked. The new features added for me put the Nintendo DS Lite at the top of the Handheld pile and is yet to be challenged. I do hope this helps you make a decision on whether to purchase one or not and if you have any further please add a comment and I will try to help. Barry ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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. ...
...Nowadays you can but he Nintendo ds for between £70-£120 depending on special offers. Games cost between £25-£30. Also the ds is not only limited to games, videos can also be viewed on it as can you listen to music and read e-books. Some people like myself have brought other cartridges such as the m3, r4, g6, to accompany the ds. These devices enable you to download games, videos, photos, music, books on the card as well as going on msn, and checking ...

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 ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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 ...

The DS can also come in a variation of simple colours such as red, green, and blue, white, black. pink and aluminous. They all come ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

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 ...
...on 2 for £30.00! Nintendo DS Lites are not designed so that you sit plugged into the TV all day, they are meant to be taken around and travelled with. They do not require you to hunch over a controller all day and have many other methods of control. Such as voice, Pen and game controls. If you use your pen you can always buy a pack of 5 new ones from around £2.00! THE BAD Nintendo DS Lites are not really great to be travelled with they are like ...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

...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 find ...
...up to the likes of the PSP but what it lacks on graphics it surely makes up in good old game play - after all, that's what it's all about! The console itself is well built and solid. I had heard reports of the hinges breaking on the screen but have yet to see evidence of that myself. The screens are bright and clear and visible in sunny conditions. The sound is loud enough for indoors but a bit weak when outside and there is background noise on ...
