Handheld Nintendo DS Lite White
The Nintendo DS Lite whites dual screen handheld console. It features a touch screen which allows you to interact with the games using a stylus. The system also comes with a rechargeable battery, which holds around 10 hours of charge perfect for long waits at the airport or flying somewhere. . The DS lite white handheld is also backwards compatible with the Gameboy Advance games so if you have some of those older games you can still use them.
The Nintendo DS Lite White is the original handheld awesome gaming device. The Nintendo DS Lite is the second generation handheld, featuring many upgrades and a much slimmer design.
For those who don't need the smaller size or brighter screens, the original DS will probably come down in price as I suspect it will be discontinued making it more affordable especially since the games, accessories, and replacement parts are reasonably priced too.
The DS Lite coming out is good for those who prefer the smaller size and brighter screens. I think it was worth the small difference in price since I didn't have one at all.
Handheld DS Lite
The Nintendo DS Lite blew me away. The last handheld game system I
tried was many years ago, also a Nintendo product I believe, and I
hated it. The screen was too small and too hard to see, etc.. This
product delivers in spades.
The DS Lite comes with a nice piece to stick in the GBA game slot when
there is no game in it, some people might not be aware that GBA games
do not fit all the way into the DS Lite White like they do into the original
DS. Gameboy Advance packs stick out about one centimeter, something
that I find very annoying as I liked to leave a GBA game inside my DS
and my DS Lite would not fit into a case if I did so I had to take the
game out and replace the filler piece when I wanted to put the system
away.
The screen and display on your DS games is also much brighter and can
be easily adjusted to meet the best of your gaming needs. The mic is
also repositioned for a better use of gaming for games like the recent
hit Brain Age, or for the Pictochat enhancement already in the DS. As
for the controls, they are easier to use than before, so it won't be a
discomfort, and the stylus is also restyled for comfort and easier
control on you and your games.
No DS handheld review would be complete without further mention of the PSP. While the PSP is undoubtedly a more capable device, it has significant weaknesses compared to the DS. Particularly, PSP games tend to have far longer load times, it has much shorter battery life, and the hardware itself is more fragile. Oh, and of course, there's the cost.
