Nintendo DS Lite

Originated from the Nintendo DS, Nintendo’s DS lite is a lighter and brighter compacted handheld console. Some distinctive changes have made the Nintendo DS lite a true competitor which some would say set it apart from other handheld consoles through the look and feel as well as the games. Retaining the advanced touch screen mobility feature allows players to control software with a stylus or even finger. This console is a truly a revolutionary console in the handheld market with dual screens, voice recognition and wi-fi capabilities.

Well having a Nintendo Wii which is a magnificent piece of equipment, I decided to buy two Nintendo DS Lite’s for my daughters who would really love and enjoy playing with on long journeys or even around the home. This would keep them quite and they wouldn’t annoy me as much as daughters do at 7 years of age. They come in a variety of colour but I decided to go for a pink and green console because they both stand out in colour and I knew one daughter would want a different colour to the other. However, there are a wide variety of colours to choose from which many other consoles don’t offer which seemed kind of Nintendo.

This console is unbelievably light for the features you get inside. It is very small and compact also which is surprising having a voice recognition, wi-fi and dual screen in one unit. The games they have played are Pokemon Mystery Dungeon which seems quite fun as they watch this on TV and love the different Pokemon to choose from to battle with. Also, Final Fantasy IV is another sort of adventure game which seems quite good having played it but my daughters aren’t to keen on that, probably a bit of a boys game. However, the best game of all has to be brain training. Gosh, does that game take you back to basic maths and arithmetic. That game really does pick at your brains and tests your skill. I think I am addicted to it; I play that game when my daughters are in bed fast asleep trying to beat my previous score each time.

This console is unbelievable and I would recommend this console for everyone regardless of age, gender and gaming skills as I am going to buy one for myself.
