You will be hooked! ... Read review

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 ...
...the stylus and/or fingers. The Nintendo DS plays Nintendo DS games (obviously) and GBA games, this is a very nice feature because then you won't have to have a Game Boy Advance/SP and a Nintendo DS.

The games were a mixed bag but contained some real hot stuff, including the best version of California Games I've played. The problem is, or was, marketing. The late eighties and early nineties killed Atari after it failed to keep pace with the 'Hot' manufacturers. ...
