Jenny, London Casual gaming fan
- Good points:
- Owned the first ds and decided it was time for an upgrade. Went for the DS Lite as it still plays gameboy games and has been upgraded to have a games cover to protect the gameboy slot when not in use. Also comes in a variety of colours to choose from, slimer than the original ds which is a bonus.
- Bad points:
- Apart from having a gameboy cover and being slimer nothing else has changed, the home screen when turned one is still the same which they could of improved on. Apart from that I feel it's a great console to have.

Control the action or access menus using either your finger or the supplied DS stylus to touch or tap the screen.
Dual Screens
Two ultra bright LCD screens give you twice the action, twice the color and twice the fun of other handheld consoles.
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection lets you test your skills against players everywhere – from the other side of the room to the other side of the world.
Microphone
With a built-in microphone, the Nintendo DS Lite gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games and friends via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
