Advantages: Loads of games to play
Disadvantages: Addictive and the stylises are expensive

I got my Nintendo DS last Christmas and I still find it really fun to play with. I have 4 games for it now which are Nintendogs, Sims 2, Animal Crossing and Pac ‘n’ Roll. I had wanted an Nintendo for ages so when I got it I played for hours. Do not do this, it hurts your head. Double Screen There are 2 screens which may seem confusing but its not. The bottom screen is the touch screen. You use your stylus to touch it otherwise you’ll get fingerprints ... Read review

Advantages: Touch Screen, two Screens, long battery life, great potential
Disadvantages: Touch screen not amazingly responsive, heavy, not ergonomic

NIntendo is turning increasingly from the hard-core, serious NES days and more into a crazy, white-haired, six-year-at heart inventor who comes up with all sorts of wacky devices, (dazzling?) us all with their inventiveness. It's true. Look at the NES, a pavement grey, CPU like box with square controllers with magenta red buttons and a darker grey. It looked more like Obi-Wan's radio to listen to on lonely days, or, more realistically, R2-D2's ... Read review

Advantages: Touch screen, recognisable controls, dual screen
Disadvantages: Screens attract dirt, only plays DS and GBA games (not GB)

The Nintendo DS is a step forward in technology. It is the first handheld console that has a touchscreen display. This allows users to control the character without the keys. This is prehaps the greatest feature the DS has, for me, and is completely original. Another interesting feature they have put on the DS is how there is a microphone, which allows you to control characters, simply by blowing on the microphone, tapping, etc. With the Nintendo ...

Advantages: dual screen/touch screen
Disadvantages: not enough interesting games

my boyfriend recently bought the nintendo DS instead of waiting for the PSP.At first,I thought is was a bad idea but it turned out not to be a bad console. The dual screen/touch screen concept is good. But I don't think there is enough interesting games to actually play with the touch screen. Tigers woods game is great to play on the DS though.I am addicted to it. I am impressed by the battery life.You can get quite a few hours out of it. It's ... Read review

I was bought my original Nintendo DS (Pink Nintendogs Set) for Christmas about two years ago. I've been playing on it seemingly endlessly ever since. Ive had no problems with it, the battery life is excellent. The games for it are getting better every month. It really reaches such a wide target market, I'm a 21 yr old female who isn't that interested in games but this console is so accessible to all ages that I've found all the different games that are right for me. I really enjoy playing with it and I love the touch screen feature too, allowing you to get more interactive with the games. It's definately got a thumbs up from me.

Advantages: Touch Screen
Disadvantages: Cannot play movies/DVD's

...built for graphics whereas the Nintendo DS is built for gameplay. And when you are looking for a games console (hand-held console (no real difference, they are both game consoles)) you have to ask whether you want something that has great graphics and poor gameplay or good graphics and great gameplay. Metroid Prime, the demo you get with it is great fun also. The price is very reasonable unlike the PSP where you pay £170+ for it and you don't even ... Read review

Advantages: good design,lots of diffrent colours and games for it
Disadvantages: none

i got this ds for Christmas and liked it as soon as i turned it on! its just the right size and its good because you can play ds and gameboy games.Its much better than a gameboy because it has two screens and one of them is a touch screen.A normal ds pack would include a ds, a ds charger a 2 stylus,instruction manul and possibly a few games. It also has a pictochat option on it which means you can chat to your friends like email.You can also connect ... Read review

Advantages: FUN!!!, touch screen, durable desighn, sterio sound, wi-fi, and a long battery life
Disadvantages: Sound can be a little quiet at times,

The Nintendo DS is no ordinary console. At first glance it appears to be merely an upgraded Game Boy Advance, but when you flip open the 148.7mm wide, 84.7mm long, 28.9mm tall clamshell case, you're faced with not one but two 3 inch backlit TFT screens, both with a resolution of 256x192 pixels and capable of displaying 260,000 colours. You'll find one screen placed in the lid and another on the base. The base's screen is touch-sensitive, similar to ... Read review

Advantages: small
Disadvantages: none

if you have not delved into the world of hand held computer games this is the machine for you , its small light the battery lasts for ages and there are stacks of very clever games available its very clever having a duel screen so it feels like the psp in screen size but the bottom scrreen is touch sensative, it is now not just aimed at childeren, you will see adverts for brain training etc these are super games to just pick up and play for 30 mins. ...

Nintendo ds I think that nintendo ds is great. It's easy to use and very pratical. There are great games you can buy to play on it. And it is a good price. It comes in a range of different colours suitable for both male and female. It is great for the whole family to play on, its not just for children. If you dont have one you defenately need to buy one. Its easy to use and great value for money.

The Nintendo DS is easy to use even for me and has a wide range of games ,the graphics are really good for a hand held console and this product is very reasonably priced.

Advantages: Great look, dual touch screens, brilliant system, fantastic sound, wireless network, built in microphone.
Disadvantages: The console is very portable but I'd prefer it a bit smaller.

When this portable game console came out, I suddenly said in my head (like everyone else did, I hope) that I want one of those! Who wouldn't? This impressive handheld console has dual screens - it has not one but two LCD screens. By touching the screen with a stylus or a fingertip, you can now control the action and feel like you are REALLY in the game. The 3D graphics are just perfect and so as the sound of it. You can play with 8 other friends from ... Read review
