System
With Nintendo DS Lite, dual screens and touch-screen technology allow you to interact with games like never before. Wireless communication allows you to experience real-time multiplayer gameplay, and the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service allows you to compete against players from around the globe.

Dual Screens:
Two incredibly bright LCD screens offer one of the most groundbreaking gameplay advances ever developed. Each 3-inch screen can reproduce a true 3D view, with impressive 3D renderings that can surpass images displayed on the Nintendo 64.

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection:
Ready to take on the world? Now, with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, you can connect wirelessly, chat and play with Nintendo DS owners across the globe. All you need to play is a Nintendo DS and a Wi-Fi-ready game. There are no subscription fees -- the service is free!

Touch Screen Technology:
The lower screen offers something never before provided by any dedicated game device: touch-screen capabilities. You no longer have to rely on just buttons to move your character or shift perspectives. Navigate menus or access inventory items simply by touching the screen with a stylus or fingertip. The possibilities are limited only by developers' imaginations. The touch screen features a tougher film cover for durability, and the included stylus is stored in the back of the unit.

Microphone Port:
A built-in microphone port means that with Nintendo DS, you only need to tell your games what to do. The Nintendo DS microphone gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games.

Wireless Network:
With Nintendo DS Lite, you can connect with a local wireless network of up to 16 players. The wireless range can be an incredible 30 to 100 feet and for some games, multiplayer requires just one Nintendo DS game card.

Note: Nintendo DS Lite wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger.

Rich Stereo Sound:
Nintendo DS Lite sound capabilities allow for greatly expanded use of voices and music, and a richer, more immersive game experience. Stereo speakers allow for virtual surround sound and a plug for headphones transmits stereo sound.

Backward Compatibility:
Nintendo DS Lite features a separate media port for Game Boy Advance cartridges, allowing you to play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single-player mode.

Summary: Great Gaming system
Comment: I am a big gamer and have had just about all the systems. It makes me happy to see nintento still hanging on. I believe that the ds lite is a wonderful innovative little piece of equipment, that deserves all the rave reviews that it gets. I bought a PSP first and was very disappointed with the games and the quality of games. The only thing that the PSP has over the DS is it goes on the internet. But, I have a nokia n810 for that and a palm phone. I only need the game to be a game. If you are looking for hours of fun, the DS LITE is for you, your kids and anyone who love to play games

Summary: Nintendo DS
Comment: Since the introduction of the original Game Boy, commonly referred to by gamers as The Brick, Nintendo have owned the portable gaming market. They have managed to stay on top for a number of reasons, all of which apply to the DS just as much as they have any other system.

First, the physical DS Lite. The Nintendo DS was not an overly attractive system, and it was a bit big. The DS Lite is an attractive system. It's small enough to fit conveniently in your pocket or in your bag, so you can always have it with you, no matter where you are. The stylus fits securely in a slot on the side, and the only time that ever becomes a problem is if, like me, you tend to chew on pens or pencils, because you will chew on the stylus, and it wont lock into place. Fortunately, the DS comes with a spare, and if you lose both they are readily available for purchase.

The graphics are not PSP levels, it's true. They aren't close. But they still look great. And the touch screen and microphone add incredible layers to the game play. The new, more interactive direction Nintendo has been taking with the DS and the Wii is something to admire and to commend. I can't tell you how much fun it's made games for me. I love using the touch screen in clever and unexpected ways. The design possibilities are almost endless. That the DS also plays Game Boy Advanced games means you have an incredible library of spectacular games at your disposal.

If you are in the market for a portable system, this is the one.
