This is so AWESOME!!!!! and the quality has exceeded my expecations . At first I was skeptical at the small size being able to perform but I was proven wrong. This is really good looking handheld and the display is cyrstal clear. This has made my 4 hour commute to and from work a breeze. It feels great in your hand and it looks beautiful..
Best hand-held game out there! July 4, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I've been looking for a hand-held video game for a while and I almost bought the PSP. Good thing I didn't. I was introduced to this video game through a friend, and on the same day I bought my own. I love the size and the color matches my ipod. Plus, not only does it play the DS lite games, but also it supports older Game Boy Advance games as well. The battery life is very good, and I can play for hours without having to worry about recharging. I will definitely take this when I'm traveling. Also, the games available are way better than PSP (well, that's my opinion). The games I recommend and also bought are Brain Age (is very fun, especially using the stylus to answer questions), Mario Karts and new Super Mario Brothers. Plus the price is reasonable compared to the PSP where you have to buy extra memory cards. The DS saves all the games directly into the game, so there is no need to buy memory cards or other needed accessories just to play one game.
P.S. Also the game comes with two stylus, so incase you lose the stylus, you have a replacement without having to purchase another one!
My Opinion and Review of the Ds Lite July 4, 2006
23 out of 25 found this review helpful
hi, yesterday(July 3, 2006) i bought the ds lite from game crazy and got 12 free movie/game rentals for hollywood video.
The Screens
the lite, when you first turn it on, you can see the BIG difference with the backlighting and it is a good one. nintendo says that the screens are 3x brighter, but for me, it seems like ten. the brighter screens enhance the graphics in nintendo ds games and gameboy advance games and there are 3 levels of brightness that you can choose from. oh, one more thing the touchscreen seems to not scratch as easily.
The Size and Weight
people may not buy the lite because they think that its the same size as the original, but actually its one-third smaller and that is a big difference for a part of the original wasnt just cut off but its been proportionatly/equally resized. the lite also closes in place unlike the original where dust might sneak in. another thing about the lite's top screen is that it barely weighs anything compared to the original,this is so that the weight is in your hands. with the lite being resized its easier to put in your pocket and easier to hold in your hands.
The Rest
-the bigger stylus does not have a bigger tip but its longer and wider to fit your hand. also, its slot to store it in is on the side for easier access. the only problem for me,is when i have the stylus inserted it kinda wiggles, but i barely notice.
-the headphone jack is the same as the original so you can use headphones for the original ds or the ds lite.
-there is a bigger volume control button
-the power button is now on the side and is a switch instead of a button
-the battery power lights are now on the top so you can see them whether the ds is open or closed
-the ds game slot is the same, its still in the back of the lite
-the gameboy advance slot has one of the best things, but then has the worst thing.
THE GOOD-when you do not have a gameboy advance game in, you can insert a fake game that matches the lite's color so it does not collect dust.
THE BAD- this is not that big of a deal and does not affect your gameplay, but when you do have a gameboy advance game in it sticks out about 1 centimeter, like original gameboy games do on the gameboy advance sp. the thing is, like i said before it doesn't affect your gameplay and your hands dont even touch the game when playing.
-the ac adapter adapter comes with the lite(you also get an extra stylus, but no thumb strap, unlike the original ds) and is the same, but its grey instead of black and the part that you plug in the ds lite is a lot smaller and is shaped different.
-the ds lite is finished with a plastic coating that protects the paint and makes it feel smoother in your hands, the only bad thing about this, even though its really hard to see, it may smudge when touching it with your finger tips.
-the mic is in the middle
-the d-pad is really accurate and precise (i think its the same one as the gameboy micro)
-the start and select buttons are moved to the bottom, are smaller, and make a clicking noise when pressed
-the x b a b buttons are in the same spot and haven't really changed, but like the rest of the ds, there really smooth
Finally you are done reading my review and i hope it helps and you too may enjoy the NINTENDO DS LITE!
Just about perfect for anyone who likes non-3D games July 3, 2006

I love this game system, but I tried to give a review so that people could understand if the system would be equally great for them. Go ahead and skip to the area you want to read about.
Case:
The case comes in two parts like a little computer. When you snap the lid closed, the DS goes into standby mode, with your game ready and waiting when you open the lid back up. The case is definitely small enough to slip into a man's pocket, but a girl would need to use a purse.
Screens/Battery Life:
Both parts have screens, but the bottom screen is special because you can touch it to select things and use the stylus to write. It gets about six hours of battery on the highest screen brightness, which is really bright. Games look completely different and are easier because you can clearly see everything on the screens.
Touch screen:
This screen accepts input from a stylus, which snaps into place inside the actual unit. I found it easy to write on the screen, and the computer recognizes my handwriting about 95% of the time. Sometimes, I need to rewrite letters, though. Nintendo has tried to make good use of the touch screen, and they succeed in many cases such as with the great game Brain Age and in some very cool new Tetris games.
Game Choice
If you're a hand-core 3D gamer, then my guess is that the PSP is going to be your best choice. The games for this are more just fun diversions, which is perfect for me. I love Brain Age, Tetris, Big Brain, and the New Super Mario Bros -- basically, just really fun, addictive games. Nintendo does have some good 3D games, but generally the processor on this machine isn't quite up to good framerates on its two screens.
Microphone
The Nintendo DS has a microphone that picks up your voice. This translates into using voice commands for some games such as Brain Age. I found it works very well if you use a normal-volume voice, but it occasionally made mistakes. Generally, I'm impressed by how far voice recognition has come, but it's not perfect.
Controls
I have average-size hands for a man, and I found the controls very comfortable. After playing Super Mario for about 2.5 hours, I did get a little cramp, but that's because I was holding on way too tight in my excitement. If you had extraordinarily large hands, this my pose a problem, but for most people it's perfect.
