Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (White)
Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (White)
In a nutshell:
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.
The lowdown:
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 is available in three separate colours: White, Black and Pink.
Most exciting feature:
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.
Since you ask:
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 bottom line:
The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendo’s best looking portable ever. - Harrison Dent
Customer Review: Absolutely brilliant
I have had a DS for nearly a year now and there has rarely been a day when I didn’t squeeze in time to play it. I love the touch screen and microphone features as you can really feel part of a game. Also, the charge lasts for ages! There is such a wide variety of games for the DS so it is brilliant for absolutely anyone. I love connecting with other people and swapping items and info.
I have never had a normal DS so I can’t really compare it to the DS lite. However I have played on other people’s and found them to be quite heavy and bulky and difficult to play. The DS lite looks stylish and fits neatly in your pocket!
So, to conclude, I could not live without this product now that I’ve had a taste for it!!!
Customer Review: Nintendo DS lite White
My nintendo came yesterday. I was so exited. I charged it and set it up. It only took a few seconds and soon i was playing on MORE BRAIN TRAINING, a very good game.
My friends have nintendo ds lites and love them so i couldent wait to get mine. For christ mas im going to ask for NINTENDOGS DALMATION AND FRIENDS because my friend has the labrodor one and we can trade dogs. Im also going to ask for PAINT a game thats on amozon but has no reveiws. There will be one after christmas though. BY ME.
By the look of the pictures its a game where you can trace, copy or draw your own pictures. It looks great.
Im also asking for THEME PARK because i was going to get ZOO TYCOON but it sounds more boring than THEME PARK and in THEME PARK you can even choose the smallest details. There are also some great reveiws on it.
Anyway back to the nintendo ds lite. Its better than the old one that one of my friends have got. It has a better light, with diffrent settings of brightness and its smaller. It also has a morte comftrable stylus and the microphone is in a better place.
I like the two screens and the way you dont have to fiddle with buttons because you can use the stylus.
My brother says its fun and easy to use comeared to other cgames consoles. He likes MORE BRAIN TRAINING lots along with NINTENDOGS.
My dad agrrees its fun and loves to check his brain age and do other things.
My mum just likes it and says the stylus is a great idea.
Pictochat is fun. You can talk to your friends or draw pictures to look at yourself.
I also like the display screen where you can see the time and date. Also you can select weater you want to go onto a nintendo ds game, go on pictochat, change your settings or play a gameboy advance game.
I had a Gameboy advance SP and i find the nintendo a lot ewasier and being able to put in gameboy games is usefull. The nintendo is way better than the gameboy and you can even buy skins for your nintendo to make it look better.

You might not see the supporting merchandise so much nowadays but Pokemon is still the most successful games franchise in history. Diamond and Pearl sold 5 million copies in Japan in under three months and 1 million in America in just one month, breaking all records for the year and the series. At first sight though this looks disappointingly similar to the existing games, with only a subtle 3D effect for the game world and largely static 2D battles. However the gameplay has undergone a complete overhaul, adding numerous new features and reintroducing others from Gold/Silver/Crystal, that had previously been removed.
The basics are still the same though, as you venture out into the world (called Sinnoh this time) in an attempt to catalogue each and every pokemon and battle the evil Team Galactic. Catching and training a pokemon for combat also works the same as before, although beauty and talent contests have been greatly expanded for those that prefer as little violence as possible. The game includes a day and night cycle, which severely impacts the appearance of pokemon, and you are given a new gadget called a poketch which starts as a simple watch but can be upgraded to everything from a scanner to a map. Secret bases are back and considerably more sophisticated than before but the most important new feature by far is the online mode. You can now trade, chat and battle with fans from around the world - proving that progress is not always just a case of better graphics. Harrison Dent

Customer Review: not your average video game
Pokemon games aren’t enjoyable in quite the same way that other games are. Try to describe the interactive element and it starts to sound like an atrocious, dated experience. And yet somehow it can provide endless entertainment (or at least, more hours than you have time for).
Pokemon is not just about the battle mechanics, although you will find more complexity here than meets the eye. Buy a Pokemon game cartridge and you become a collector, on a journey to discover as many new species as you can. The experience is pervasive - captured pokemon can be exchanged with friend’s games like playing cards, and Pokemon tours across the country are used to distribute rare creatures that are unobtainable through regular gameplay, to anyone willing to attend.
Your game cartridge is a container for pokemon, but they are more than just digital playing cards. Each one can be groomed, customised and entered in competitions - both physical and aesthetic. Your pokemon transcend the games they appear in, able to follow you to each new version so hours spent training are never lost. Pokemon even transcend generations and consoles; creatures groomed on a GBA can be transferred (when certain requirements have been met) to a DS, and can then even be called upon in the upcoming Wii game “Pokemon Battle Revolution.”

Customer Review: Handy and gives good protection
The most value for money items in this pack are definetly the carry case and the clip case. The carry case is very good. Although it’s a bit chunky and not very stylish, it does the job very well. There are straps inside to secure the DS plus some netting which can hold the clip case which comes with the pack, the earphones and with a bit of a squeeze a GBA cartridge as well, thus it being kind of chuncky is well made up for by the fact that you won’t have to have these items lying around or getting lost in your bag somewhere. The strap that comes with the carry case can turn it into a not so stylish shoulder handbag, but they are prone to come lose. However the case is definetly sturdy enough to be squeezed in your overstuffed backpack. The clip is also incredibly handy, most packs I’ve seen only seem to have some lose game cases, which still means they’ll be lying around somewhere lose, which in my case would mean I would lose them. This one can hold 3 DS cartridges plus an extra stylus, all of which are protected by some kind of hard close fitting foam. Why they put in a very low quality mirror beats me, but it’s not a disadvantage. The earphones are good, they have an adjustable volume control in the lead, which really is a plus, they give a good quality sound and they look nice. Mine have lasted for a year now and are only broken because I have frequently accidentally let them fall on or swing against metal desk and chair legs, since I use them at work almost every day. The only part of this pack I can’t comment on is the car charger as I have never actually used it or had to use it, but I guess it is handy for long journeys abroad by car. Overall I think this pack is good value for money, especially for people who think being able to take 3 DS games with them and keeping the 3 games, the earphones and the DS all in the same carrier case is really handy.
Customer Review: Good and essential
Great value accessory pack for your Nintendo DS Lite Console. Keep your machine protected with the durable carry case. Store your game cards in the handy clip case. Charge your console via the cigarette lighter or 9V socket with the handy car charger. Enjoy your games in stereo sound with the sylish earphones.
