Nura, Crawley , “fun loving enjoys challenges”

Score 10.0/10

+ It's easy to understand and load games. The start up menu is good because it allows you to personalize it.

- The guitar hero grip sometimes slips out of it's connection & also hurts your fingers because they are being used in a different way to normal.

Petra, Swanley , “mum with 5 children”

Score 10.0/10

+ My daughter is nearly 8 years old and absolutely loves playing on her pink nintendo ds lite. She is having great fun with the nintendogs and is already very competent with caring for her puppies (she has managed to buy 3!) and entering them in competitions.

- The battery life does not last very long (charging every day after 2-3 hours use!!).

- It doesn't always recognise the numbers you put in and so marks you incorrect.

Ian, Blyth

Score 8.0/10

+ Excellent compact hand held gaming system, with a wide range of titles availble. The would recommend the Brain training, great fun for all the family.

- Graphics are stronger on the PSP, but only marginally. The wider spec of the DSi far outways the little you lose.

Score 8.0/10

+ Highly addictive, couldn't put it down. Really enjoyed pitting my wits against my grandaughter.

zoe , west midlands

Score 9.0/10

+ I love my DS, great to play at home but i can take it anywhere n play, e.g. car, holiday, so i' never bored.

- the only thing i can think of is that because the cover is glossy it gets covered in greasy finger marks n always needs polishing!

Manufacturer's Description

Pocket powerhouse

The first thing you’ll notice about the Nintendo DS Lite is how small it is. And then you’ll notice how many amazing things it can do.

Touch Screen Technology

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.

PictoChat

Use your stylus with PictoChat to create drawings and text messages to send to all your DS friends.

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.

PictoChat is local wireless only. You need to be within 30 feet of another system to communicate.

Backwards Compatibility

Nintendo DS Lite doesn’t just play DS games – it also features an additional port for Game Boy Advance Game Paks.

Wireless LAN

Create a local wireless network of up to 16 players between 30 to 100 feet away. Plus – for some titles, this feature requires just ONE Nintendo DS Game Card.

Headphone Jack

Use the stereo headphone jack for the ultimate DS sound experience. Suddenly the action isn’t just in your hand – it’s in your head!

Rich Stereo Sound

Nintendo DS has rich, stereo speakers that pump out virtual surround sound that takes you right to the heart of the game.
