REVIEW: Nintendo DS Lite (kinda off-topic, but popular nevertheless)
Reviewed April 12, 2006
With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of
fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive
improvement over the original DS--but it's still not a multimedia and
graphical powerhouse like the Sony PSP.
| Editor's Rating: |
8.0 Excellent
|
| The good: |
The Nintendo DS Lite is slightly slimmed down, as well as a lot
sleeker and more attractive without sacrificing the many features of
the original Nintendo DS. The device employs innovative dual-screen and
microphone-enabled gameplay on a higher-resolution display than Game
Boy Advance SP while remaining backward compatible with older GBA
games. The inclusion of Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities and a touch
screen allows for a growing list of original and fun games that you
can't play on any other system |
| The bad: |
Third-party support for the system hasn't matched the
originality and ingenuity of Nintendo's games. The darker models are
just as susceptible to scratches and smudges as the Sony PSP and the
iPod, and it's still just a game-playing device--for now. Pricing and
availability outside of Japan remain unknown.
