Product Description

Product Description

Nintendo DS Lite offers all of the unique features of the Nintendo DS but also includes a variety of distinctive changes which truly sets it apart from other handheld consoles. Nintendo DS Lite retains the advanced touch screen technology, allowing players to control the software with a stylus or even their finger, as well as dual screens, voice recognition and Wi-Fi capabilities of the Nintendo DS but is now both smaller and lighter.

Weighing nearly 60g less than the original, it is just two thirds of the original size. The redesign isn’t only cosmetic though. The Nintendo DS Lite features adjustable screen brightness with four settings, a repositioned microphone for ease of use and a larger and more comfortable stylus.

With its new design and unique features, this console is perfect for everyone regardless of age, gender and gaming skills.

Product Description

The smaller, sleeker version of the original Nintendo DS, the Nintendo DS Lite 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 battery life is dependent on brightness setting used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent; preferable to DSi for 6 year old, 18 Nov 2009

This review is from: Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (Red) (Video Game)
This is a wonderful machine; bought as my son's first good games console. Until now he has been using my husband's old Game Boy, with poky back and white screen and no backlight.

I agonised for ages about whether to spend the extra £50 on a DSi; I'm SO glad I didn't. The DS is absolutely perfect; the red glossy finish on ours looks great, it is incredibly easy to use, and I certainly don't want my 6 year old having a relatively unmonitored internet connection as with DSi. The cameras on DSi are fun, but of no use for real photography, and really a bit of a gimmick. I was tempted by the nice menu etc, but the DS menu is simple, clear, and very child-friendly.

There is an added advantage that he will be able to play GBA games from his cousins and friends, as well.

Overall, this is a superb entry-level games console, looks brilliant, is fantastically easy to use, yet supports a huge collection of games to suit all ages and tastes. I'd recommend it to any child, and for parents buying for Christmas, I'd advise it over the DSi; spend the extra £50 on some great games.

This is the 2nd DS lite in the house, my daughter's was played so much by my son we got him one.They are 7 and 5, and play Mario Kart DS endlessly!
The unit is robust, no performance issues and charges last a long time.
It's only a question of moderating how long they play, as you can easily lose your children for hours! Down to the parent whether that's good or bad..

Having great fun being a DS Owner. Have found it very useful when travelling. Being over 50, I like crosswords, scrabble, 100 Classic books etc. Great way of having loads to do but taking up a small amount of space in your hand luggage.
