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 Console Details
The smaller, sleeker version of
the original Nintendo DS, the Nintendo DS Lite Console combines dual screen action with
Touch Screen interaction, providing the player with a unique gaming experience.
The system also includes wireless communication technology, allowing gamers to
join their friends in multiplayer games, or use the system's embedded PictoChat
software to send messages and drawings to each other. The Nintendo DS Lite is
revolutionising handheld gaming. With two super-sharp, backlit LCD screens, the
Nintendo DS Lite offers a groundbreaking new approach to gaming. Each 3-inch
screen is capable of producing true 3D graphics; the DS has the power to produce
even
more advanced visuals than the Nintendo 64 could display. Plus you can
adjust the screens' brightness in four different levels to adapt to different
lighting conditions. The possibilities are limitless - one screen can be used to
show the main action, while another might be used as a map, inventory, or
secondary viewpoint - or both screens can be used simultaneously to depict huge
boss characters! With a powerful rechargeable lithium ion battery pack and
recharger included with every Nintendo DS Lite, the system offers up to 19 hours
of play on a single recharge*; so there's no need for additional battery packs.
Nintendo DS Lite recharges to full capacity in three hours - one hour less than
Nintendo DS. The system also includes a clock, calendar and alarm functions, and
you can select other details like the colour of the background screen, your
birthday and your nickname.
Nintendo DS Lite Review
It 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.
