DS Lite is a lighter and brighter version of Nintendo DS. The handheld has dropped weight nearly 60g and is much slimmer than the original. DS Lite isn't just smaller, it has been improved by relocated microphone, adjustable screen brightness and more comfortable stylus. DS Lite features the same dual screens with advanced touch screen technology, voice recognition and Wi-Fi as does the original DS.
Nintendo DS Lite will also get several new releases during the summer, Dr Kawashima's Brain Traning: How Old Is Your Brain? and New Super Mario Bros. will launch in June and Electroplankton and Big Brain Academy in July.

I'm more of a PC gamer anyway although i got a ps2, I only have two games which goes to show you how much I'm into it :) |

FPS's just arnt my cup of tea, I have a few friends that traded in the PSP for the DS and now that the DS lite is comming out Im waiting to get one in the states. Ive got my backup cart and access to hundreds of games! The GBA has some killer games and not to mention all the DS games. Hands down Nintendo is king of portable gaming, which is nice because I hate sony. |

Comment by: bunny_c (May 22, 2006 12:18) it doesn't have a big change from the origanal DS(which i bought and was highly disaponted with).I think it's just to cash in a bit more. These portable gaming devices use the same technique as clothes brands use like:deisel,levis,nike...... they get the kids to buy so that the other kids think they have to have the same. Good but cruel technique for parents!(cash wise) |
