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 ...

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: It fits on your head.
Disadvantages: It makes you dizzy and feel sick.

Nintendo with all it's success needed to take a fall. Maybe it was coming sooner rather thatn later. Virtual Boy was that fall. It was not by all means bad. It was also not that good. Virtual Boy was a headset worn by the user with a control pad attached to it. The set itself was quite heavy and not the thing to carry around with you. The red colour also didn't suit Nintendo's style. The unit displayed infra red to the user's eyes. A good idea but ...
...mistake. They made the mistake of not trying out the console before developing many of them. The public didn't like it. I didn't like it. So Nintendo sold them off cheap with stacks of games to patch up the embarrassment. What a shame the Virtual Boy could've been so good. ... Read review
