Nintendo DS Lite

Nintendo DS Lite Console

The Nintendo DS Lite Console is a more dedicated games machine, ignoring movie playback and MP3 Player capability to concentrate on the core function of gaming. It's usually less expensive than a PSP, but if course some would say that comparatively the PSP represents better value - only if you need and use the additional functions. The DS is available in a whole host of colours from bright Nintendo DS Lite Pink and green, all the way across the spectrum to Black. A whole load of fun with an amazing array of DS games available to suit every age group, Nintendo have concentrated on making gaming fun and accessible and I don't see much wrong with that and predict that the DS Lite will outsell the PSP comfortably this Christmas.

Nintendo DS Lite Review

nintendo ds lite console reviewIt may have taken the world by storm with its huge range of genuinely innovative new games but there’s no denying that the Nintendo DS is not exactly the most portable of portable consoles. That’s all changed now with this sleek and sexy update.

When the Nintendo DS was first announced it was dismissed by many as a white elephant – with a gimmicky interface and underpowered graphics. Over 15 million sales later and the story is a little different. The DS Lite is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games but it’s smaller, sleeker and lighter – with a new design that perfectly matches the Nintendo Wii console. The most impressive feature is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console.

The DS Lite now has four brightness settings – the highest is brighter than even the PSP and is clearly visible in any lighting condition. That sound? That'll be Sony executives running to the hills - wearing sunglasses.

The Nintendo DS is the fast selling console ever in Japan. When the DS Lite was released, it sold out instantly, with queues of over 1,000 people a common sight.

The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendo’s best looking portable ever.
