21 out of 22 found this review helpful
Is it worth it to buy a new Nintendo DS Lite if you have a DS already....or, if you don't own a DS yet at all ?br /br /Absolutely! This new DS Lite is a huge joy, especially if you already use a regular DS. Here are some reasons:br /- Much lighter, smaller, and more compact than the regular DS, but much better screens, sound, graphics, and voice recognitionbr /- Fit and finish is hugely better than the regular DSbr /- The screens are hugely brighter, have vivid dense colors, and produce fantastic game graphics and videobr /- The battery charges in 1/2 the time and lasts 2X longerbr /- The microphone and voice recognition is 100X betterbr /- The stylus us much better - longer and thickerbr /- The game ports are finished better and in better placesbr /- It costs less than the old regular DSbr /- The games are much more lifelike on a DSbr /- The new start button location is much betterbr /- The white color and new surface finish is terrificbr /- The wireless and WiFi works better than most computersbr /- Playing against others online or all in the same house (wirelessly) works fantastic and is so easy to dobr /- Run, don't walk, to get a new one right away - online works!br /br /If you do not believe this review, just test one out and you'll be hooked. I know my review is so positive, but I'm a gamer and not trying to sell these things. They're just so good!br /
Best handheld system available July 10, 2006
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
Here's my review for the DS Lite. I do make some comparisons to the PSP in here, because I have owned both and can honestly say that the DS is the best handheld system available, when you look at overall quality, and here's why. br /br /THE PRICE. The DS Lite only costs $130, which is the same cost as the old DS. Can you name me any other company that put out an upgrade that cost the same? I don't think Nintendo is trying to rip off anyone. Not to mention that if you trade in your old DS, the DS Lite will only cost you around $60. Not bad for the best handheld out there.br /br /THE GAMES. The DS Lite has the best selection of games out of any handheld. The system can read both DS games and GBA games. Put those collections of games together and you have hundreds of awesome titles to choose from. Not to mention the fact that the games only cost about $20-$30, maybe more for a really excellent game, but rarely. Try comparing that to PSP's $40-$50, and then think about the fact that these games are HARDY...they survive a lot...compare that to PSP's discs...yeah, right, good luck if you are too rough on your games.br /br /THE LOOK. The old DS had zero sex appeal. It was "fat", so to speak, and everyone knows LITE is in. The reinvetion of the DS may not be phenomenal as far as technical aspects go, but as far as LOOKS go, it rocks the face off of the old DS. The new DS also goes nicely with my iPod, with it's brilliant white color. Very classy.br /br /THE SCREENS. The screens are apparently only 3x brighter than the old DS, but they look 3984938895x brighter to me. Gameplay is more enjoyable in any setting you can imagine. No need for perfect lighting, just adjust it from the main menu. Very handy. The screens are the same size, and aren't anything spectacular alone, but put the two together and you have the same size screen area as the PSP, and does PSP have touch screen? I think not.br /br /THE BATTERY. Wow. Seriously, just...wow. The battery on this thing is AWESOME. For someone who plays games more than five hours daily (that'd be me), a long battery life is very important. My DS Lite's battery lasts anywhere from 10-18 hours depending on the settings and gameplay. Then when it's dead, I can just recharge the battery. Very nice.br /br /CONTROLS. The controls on the DS Lite aren't much different from the old DS. The one very noteable difference is the mic. It's in the middle now, which is so much more compatable with enjoyable gameplay. The D-Pad is also nice, and the buttons don't get jammed or stuck like other systems I can think of (PSP). br /br /CONS. The very few and far between bad things about the DS Lite would probably come down to these. br /br /1. The outer casing does in fact get fingerprints. Trust me, this is NOTHING compared to the PSP and it's black, fragile casing. Just take a cloth and wipe it down. It'll be okay.br /br /2. The GBA games stick out of the slot a bit while playing them on the DS Lite. No biggie, and hardly noticeable, but would be nice if they didn't stick out.br /br /3. No adjusting screen light from a game. You must be on the main screen...and that sucks! Exiting out of a game and going back in is a huge inconvenience...but I am sure Nintendo will fix this the next time around.br /br /4. The DS Lite is top-heavy. It'll lean a bit due to this and can cause some discomfort for the person playing a game. It's not REALLY noticeable, but still can be bothersome.br /br /5. The distance in which you can connect with outher players still sucks. Nintendo needs to work on that. Wireless works really well, however.br /br /So that's it. Don't hesitate on whether or not to get the DS Lite -- DO IT! This is, as I said, the best handheld system available. And take it from someone who knows. I've had the PSP, DS, DS Lite, Gameboy, Gameboy Advance...yada, yada, yada. br /br /So go for it!!!

As a vast majority of the reviews confirm, this is indeed a nice little gadget. Nintendo basically listened to it's customers and improved on a product that has undoubtably taken a huge share of the handheld videogame market.br /br /I have to assume that most of the naysayers are just haters of Nintendo as a company and probably won't ever have anything nice to say about any of their products. The videogame industry has many passionate fans.br /br /Alas, the Nintendo DS lite will be as fun as you make it. There are a lot of great games out there (I highly recommend New Super Mario Brothers!) and there are also several games out there not worth the money; so do your homework before buying games you are unsure of. The DS is great value for the money and it will have the support from Nintendo for quite some time.

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..
