Handy size, easy to use, easy to top-up battery, a good variety of games (Scrabble,puzzle games etc) -ideal for the likes of me (an older user)
can pop it in my handbag and use any time
battery (on low mode) lasts a long time and plenty of warning when needing to be topped up.
Most of all - lots of fun and I love it!!
-
some of the games such as Monopoly seem to be a little complicated but I am sure it is just a case of concentrating and following the instructions
Have not discovered any bad points as such.

We already have 2 DS consoles and our young son was always on ours. The wireless multiplayer option is just fab. So we purchased another for my son for christmas so we will now be able to play 3 way. Also the ability to play wireless with people around the world is also a real bonus. There are games to suit all ages. We have had over hand held consoles but they dont come anywhere close to the play ability of the DS. You must get one.

Very easy to use, great fun and also does help to make one use their brain. Being retired and not so agile one worries that the brain will start to deteriorate, by using my Nintendo for approx. 10 minutes a day I do find it helps my concentration. I also play games from cards to hand eye co-ordination games which I find is helping my vision. Love the Crosswords and and Suduko, any game that makes me use my brain to it's full extent. One thing I do have to do is restrict myself from becoming addicted. It's great.
-
The only bad point is the Nintendo does not respond very well if one is using a programme where one needs
speak, it does not pick up one's voice, whether it be accent or tone of voice I do not know, (all my friends
say the same) and it seems to be the same word, letter or number with all of us that we are having difficulty
with. This is the only thing that could be improved, but overall it is a small problem and the good out weighs
the bad.
