Nintendo Limited Edition Pink Ribbon DS Lite in full view |
The Nintendo DS Lite is a high-powered handheld video game system in a sleek folding design loaded with features for a unique gaming experience. The color screens are now even brighter and the lower touch screen provides a totally new way of playing and controlling games. Use the built-in wireless mode to share games, chat or even play multiplayer games on-line via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Play impressive 3-D rendered Nintendo DS games and play all your favorite Game Boy Advance games in single player mode. Nintendo DS Lite comes with a variety of distinctive changes that set it apart from the original: It's less than two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter. Its two bright screens can be adjusted to four levels to adapt to different lighting conditions and to extend battery power. The microphone sits in the center of the unit and the LED lights are clearly visible whether the unit is open or closed. The stylus is 1 centimeter longer and 1 millimeter thicker than the stylus of the original and slides into a side storage slot. The Start and Select buttons were repositioned for easier access. A removable cover keeps the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot clear from dust and debris when it's not in use. With the Nintendo DS Headset, you can talk and chat over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or voice command games.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.

 Nintendo DS Crimson and Black January 8, 2009
Received the product very quickly and liked the colour scheme and interior screen too. Had played with my daughters Nintendo, so knew what it was all about. Great thing for long journeys and plane rides. Great fun to connect with other players. Recommend it for Ages 6 and upwards
Pink DS January 8, 2009
I purchased this as a gift for my 11-year-old niece along with the Brain Age 2 game. It's convenient to use and accommodates left and right handed users. We found that the screen is somewhat sensitive, for example: If you are using the stylus to indicate that an answer is the number "5" and you write the bottom portion of the "5" first and the horizontal line on top last, it won't recognize your answer as a "5".
Interesting... January 8, 2009
I absolutely love the technology of the DS. My son is a huge fan of video games and console systems. We have just about every console system ever made... old or new. His attention span on video games are short and loves to explore new inventions; however, for the last two years he has owned a DS. Still to date, he takes it on ever road trip, sleepover, vacation, etc... Basically, he doesn't leave home without it. If we happen to forget it or in too much in a hurry to search for the DS or chargers before leaving the house, we REGRET it. In fact, this year for Christmas we had to buy is sister one. She seen how much her brother loved his and how long he has been attached to it, she wanted one for herself. She absolutely loves it!
Great to play games on! January 7, 2009
My daughter loves this game system and the color is really nice. She was so happy when she opened it from Santa on Christmas. She hasn't put it down since. The funny thing is, neither have I!
great!! January 7, 2009
Daughter just loves it. Was able to find color she wanted on AMAZON. A big change over previous versions of Nintendo handhelds. It is lit up for easy play- day or night with 2 screens that help gameplay. Highly recommended.
